I was gonna start this post by saying that although the nominees for this year’s Korean Music Awards were announced January 25, as usual the KMA site has yet to be updated but as it turns out there has just been a change in address to spell out the full name… Anyhow, bo-da has compiled the full list of nominees in an easy to read format, and for those that prefer a little less hangul and translated titles Kamala-Chan offers most of the categories over at K-RoK Rocks: Korean Music Awards Nominations
In addition to translating all the genre category nominees, Kamala-Chan also put together posts gathering all nominated songs for most of the song categories:
– Korean Music Awards Best Rock Song Nominees
– Korean Music Awards Best Modern Rock Song Nominees
– Korean Music Awards Best “Pop” Song Nominees
– Korean Music Awards Best Dance & Electronic Song Nominees
– Korean Music Awards Best Hip-Hop Song Nominees
– Korean Music Awards Best R&B Song Nominees
A few news articles concerning the awards have turned up on allkpop:
– “2011 Korean Pop Music Awards” committee reveals why SNSD and KARA weren’t nominated
– Broccoli, You Too nominated the most times in 2011 Korean Music Awards
After the jump you’ll find the nominees in all main categories.
