midorinomeme 852 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ok, so after seeing all the confused people about AOA winning the World Rookie Award (I was even confused myself), I did some research. The World Rookie Award started with the GAON 4th awards, and were first awarded to BTS and WINNER. This is 2015, and both of those groups debuted in 2013. Source http://www.soompi.com/2015/01/28/winners-from-the-4th-gaon-chart-k-pop-awards/ It doesn't look like people saw past the word "rookie" in the award and jumped all over it, even I did too. I'm an AOA stan and wondered just how in the hell do they win a rookie award? I don't understand the criteria for winning, but looking at the first award, it has nothing to do with being a rookie group that year at all.

jieblack91 2,254 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Rookie in international music i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisses 1,374 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think the fact that they debuted in Japan last year and also they debuted with a new sub-unit comes into play of why they won the 'World Rookie' award, and let me rephrase 'World Rookie Award' not 'Female Rookie Award of the Year' just recently GFRIEND won Female Rookie of the Year and they deserve it. So congrats to them :D and many of the other artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yournoona 8,412 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 winner as it's YG's winner? winner won the rookie award in 2014 ( held in 2015) along with mamamoo not the world rookie. it was BAP and BTS previously. looking at the winners, it's usually for those past one year as a group and got recognized internationally.

I agree. If TWICE would have won, I would have cheered for them too. I'm guessing it has something to do with releasing an album overseas? Seventeen had sales in Japan with Boys Be, so that might have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlkpopfan 2,451 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 How can you have a post called "what the world rookie award is and is not" but not actually know what it is? You just stated what it's not. So what ARE the criteria for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutella 6,108 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 world rookie award is never won by an actual rookie, it is always someone who was known in Korea but now starts gaining international fame with concerts and international promotions. First award went actually to BAP in 2014 and they were no rookies. twice also did very well internationally so the criteria seems so vague to me :/ well who won the award won the award. congrats to aoa! they dont qualify bc they didn't have international fanmeetings or concerts. The award always goes to groups who had concerts/fanmeetings overseas in multiple countries etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderTwice 3,518 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 does no one know twice also charted internationally !! so 17 charting is us makes sense as well as twice winning world rookie for charting globally #1 as well no matter how hard you try to defend aoa they did not deserve that award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansanlaire 842 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think AOA did good last year...so they deserved an award don't care too much about the name of the award tho congrats! ps. please don't argue who deserves it better or not...no one knows the criteria...no need to start a fan war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventeen had sales in Japan with Boys Be, so that might have something to do with it. twice released a taiwanese edition of their album and they were the second best selling kpop group on oricon this year as well... i mean congrats to aoa they do deserve it, i just wish twice's merits were seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
