What are the important Award Shows in South Korea?

You know, for music and acting?

 

For example, in America the most important music award is the Grammys. But all the other music awards like the AMAs (which used to be important, but not anymore), the VMAs, and the BBMAs are irrelevant.

 

For acting there's the Oscars, wich are the most prestigious. And then the Emmys and Golden Globes which are pretty important too. I think its because actors are more respected than musicians in general.

 

But there are a TON of award shows in South Korea. Which ones really matter?

MAMA.

 

Supposedly Melon and Gaon since they have to do with the charts, but they are treated sort of like a joke I notice. (MAMA too though but well)

 

Still, the greatest joke of them all has to be the AAAs. lmao that award show was a trip. I actually think it's the most funny one to watch.

 

edit: grammar

the only joke award there is AAA

 

the other award shows are treated like a joke because their faves couldn't win in the categories they wanted aka Kpop fans logic in general

GDA. The oldest, most "legit" (it's 80% sales), and most respected award show. 

 

MAMA is only a thing for i-Fans, Gaon gives 98458945 awards and happens too late in the year so nobody cares, Melon and SMA are too biased for digitals/physicals, and KMA is nugu.

I was unaware that MAMA, Golden Disc, and Melon were considered jokes? Can someone explain this?

No they are called jokes because lots of Kpop fans are pressed that their faves didn't win and despite all the criticism those three are still regarded as the most prestigious music award shows in Korea
