The Golden Disk Awards, the most prestigious and the biggest stage
The Golden Disk Awards is the stage where the popular Korean pop music from the past year are selected, and celebrated. It is the most prestigious awards ceremony in South Korea, which contributes to the music and the digital downloads industry while bolstering the creativity of pop music and finding talented artists.
Golden Disk Awards – The Grammy Awards of Korea
Since its inaugural event in 1986, the Golden Disk Awards has been recognized for its legitimacy and neutrality, thus earning its nickname of the Korean Grammy Awards, while becoming the most sought-after prize by the musicians.
Unlike other music awards, such as the year-end music awards from the broadcasting companies, the Golden Disk Awards has stood out for presenting its awards based on the sales of the albums and the digital downloads. As the winners are selected based on the sales of the albums and the Digital Downloads, it is appealing not only to the pop singers who frequently appear in the broadcasting industry, but also to the popular independent musicians loved by many people. The Golden Disk Awards is a ceremony that serves as the most accurate indicator for the Korean pop music of the year more than any other music award presentation, and is highly regarded for its prestige.
The Golden Disk Awards, which has been the stepping stone for K-POP the past 25 years, will present the 26th Awards ceremony at the ‘Kyocera Dome Osaka’ in Osaka, Japan from January 11~12 for 2days.
