KMA Predictions 2018

Watching the Grammys fumble with genre representation year in and year out makes me appreciate the KMAs a little more. (I’m not even mad about this year, but I’m still salty about 1989 over To Pimp a Butterfly two years ago.) Sure, the KMA also has critics and works in a different environment, but representation… Continue reading →

In less than a day the winners of the 14th Korean Music Awards will be announced. Although I usually love this time of the year–dedicating most of February to listening to and blogging about the nominees and the winners–this year I had to prioritize differently. Even so I’m very excited for the awards and have… Continue reading →

KMA2017: Jung’s Predictions

posted in Korean Music Awards on February 20, 2017 by Jung 0 Comments

Doing this the last couple years taught me that I’m really bad at making award predictions! Still, I think this is a fun exercise for anyone who pays even cursory attention to the Korean music scene, so I’m glad to be back. Without further ado: Album of the Year Strong field! After an anomalous year… Continue reading →
