For the list of winners, check it out here!
Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, CN Blue, F.T. Island and Supreme Team kept things simple and safe with black mini dresses and black suits. Loving SHINee and Yoo Ah Yin’s outfit with different shades of grey and lots of layerings for this winter season. For the ladies, Secret’s bridesmaid-like dresses on the red carpet really did not work for me; Min Hyorin’s simple bustier cocktail dress with nude heels really stood out in my opinion.
Nicknamed the "Korean Grammy Awards", the ceremony is known for its fair standards, as the committee utilizes figures from album and digital Music sales only. The awards show first began in 1986, and since then, it’s become Korea’s most prestigious awards ceremony for music.

The November 28th broadcast of SBS’s Inkigayo had a stellar line-up with S.M The Ballad’s debut as well as performances from Girls Generation, KARA, BEAST, 2AM, Orange Caramel, Supreme Team, Co-Ed, F.Cuz, Oh Won Bin, NS Yoonji, U-Kiss, Gavy NJ, and many more!
Girls Generation won this week’s Inkigayo and teasers for T-ara and SISTAR’s comebacks were released during the broadcast as well.
Many netizens pointed out the Inkigayo line-up was far more appealing than the line-up for the 2010 MAMAs.
Netizens are now wondering why Korea’s artists held a massive boycott of the MAMAs.
