The awards ceremony of the “1st Gaon Charts K-Pop Awards”, hosted by Taeyeon of Girls’ Generation and Joo Young Hoon, was held at the Blue Square in Hannam-dong, Seoul, in the afternoon of February 22.

At the awards ceremony on this day, the awards were divided into the “monthly digital sales” category and the “quarterly album sales” category. In the album category for the “Singer of the Year” award for the first quarter of the past year, TVXQ’s “Why” album won the accolades. TVXQ’s “Why” has created a record of having sold approximately 235,669 copies.

TVXQ, who were unable to attend the awards ceremony due to their overseas activities, conveyed their greetings and gratitude through a video, “We are really thankful. We will continue to show everybody a good image in the future with cool music and performances.”

Meanwhile, this year’s inaugural Gaon K-Pop Awards makes use of the total calculation of the digital music sales and physical album sales over the past year on the Gaon Charts, an officially-recognized music chart in Korea, as a fair judging criteria to select its award winners.

The “1st Gaon Charts K-Pop Awards” will be broadcast live on February 22 from 7pm on cable channels KBS Drama, KBS Joy and portal site Daum.
