Here's a short video for everyone. Enjoy! :D

Korean Music Showcase: Mnet Asian Music Awards 2011! :D

The inaugural MAMA Awards (Mnet Asian Music Awards) hit Singapore's shores on 29th Nov. Held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, this year's show promised to be bigger, better and much more awesome than its 2010 version at Macau.

K-pop artistes who had arrived for the event included Miss A, Girls' Generation, Super Junior, Leessang and 2NE1. With the Korean Hallyu fever raging strongly in Singapore, there is no doubt that this is a widely anticipated event. Many fans had queued up early to attend the show!

In order not to spoil for those who missed out on the event, I shall give a brief outline of who are the biggest winners of this year's MAMA Awards.

1. Girls' Generation

Awards: Artist of The Year, Best Female Group
One of the biggest winners this year, they gave the audience one of the most powerful performances of the night. Singing their latest hit "The Boys", the girls wowed the crowd with their dance moves and strong vocals. Their stage's special effects are so good, they left the members of Miss A stunned! :O Pity they only sang that one song though.

Check out their performance in this video:


2.  Super Junior
Awards: Album of The Year, Best Male Group, Singapore's Korean Singer Popularity Award

SM Entertainment's biggest boyband returned home with a total of 3 awards. Given their popularity in Singapore, it is little wonder they were awarded the Singapore's Korean Singer Popularity Award. For their special stage section, they belted out hits like "Super Man", "Mr. Simple", and of course hot favourite "Sorry Sorry".

3. 2NE1
Awards: Best Vocal (Group), Song of The Year
One of the hottest girl groups in Korea won 2 awards in this year's MAMA Awards. Both wins were well deserved, as the girls showed their vocal prowess in "Lonely" and "I Am The Best" was one of the most popular hits. Dara's hair was one of the coolest that day, with her amazing, gravity-defying ponytail frozen on her head. The quartet also showed in their special stage session why they are the best:


Other award winners include Beast, Kim Hyun Joong, Hyuna and Baek Ji Young. Even though I did not get to go for the awrds show itself, watching it live via streaming is still epic enough to experience the atmosphere at Singapore Indoor Stadium. I look forward to next year's edition! :)
