Can u tell me what is the criteria for winning main awards in Korea?

[@michaelfernando5672]

@@ArtiKumari-mq5nz It's late to reply to you, but different criteria apply to different awards. Mostly included are physical sales, digital, voting & judge panels. Percentage among criteria vary.

Honestly, this is one of the best speeches I've ever heard from an artist. All her words were genuine and heartfelt. The fact that she actually took her time with her speech to say a lot of things that was on her mind really touched my heart. ❤️

even her speech was amazing and sincere. it's rare to see someone congratulate/praised other artist in their winning speech. now you know why she is everyone role model. being this amazing at 25 years old is a great accomplishment.

she’s extremely beautiful as an artist and as a person, truly loved her speech and her words of encouragement for other artists, hope she keeps growing even more💞

[@tellmewhatyouwant390]

Jieun is probably the most genuine idol of her generation. She has gotten all this praise and recognition mostly by being herself and doing things that autentically represent her. Her speech just shows that she does what she does because she loves music and people and i'm so glad to see someone like her being famous in an industry who is mostly cureted by men. She is the representation of the famale gaze and how wonderful art can be when you let artist do what they want. I hope she continues to be with us for many many more years 💌

[@grizzlydoormat]

She can do what she wants because she took the time to learn what her fans like about her--and she still does. After the underserved flop of her debut stage Lost and Found, her agency changed her image. Although she hated being cute and bubbly, she stuck to that winning bubble gum pop style until Chat-Shire, when she started assert her own artistic sensibilities. Chat-Share was both an affirmative success and a cautionary controversy, which further taught het to stay humble and listen to the public. So, yes she is a wonderful solo artist that is confident in her own art, but she is also one that is the most versatile and most empathetic toward her fans and the public. She doesn't just do what she likes, she does what best represent the union of her genuine art and what her fans love about her. THAT is a rare talent! IU Jjang!

[@rosewaters9310]

This speech is really a very good one. Classy, heartfelt and much more than rambling off names like an album cover. So young and already so talented, mature and elegant. Good job and a well deserved award! Looking forward to more in 2018.

[@InyiYruma]

When she acknowledged the efforts and hardwork of other artists and their staffs. That’s truly genuine and heartfelt ❤️

[@SharDonKatol]

IU thanking other people instead of crediting the award from her hard work. Damn, let us praise the humbleness of IU! So proud to be uaena

[@zoeystvchannel6211]

I like the part that she mentioned that she is a song writer, singer, lyricist and producer… FYI for those who don’t recognize her talent 😍 … accept the fact that she’s one of a kind in Kpop world 🥰🥰🥰 … i’m so addicted to all her songs now 😍😍😍

[@rahernandez4442]

That’s my favorite part as well. She just raised the bar so high on that part of her speech. She’s indeed the unrivaled Queen. 💜

[@allieserencio]

I love how she said she will take the value of music more into consideration than just digital points because to be honest, there are a lot of great music who doesn't get much digital points but it doesn't mean it's a bad music. Indeed all artists have worked hard! 💕💕

[@phogz450]

This is her speech that I always watch whenever I miss her. She's indded the Queen of Kpop. Singer, song-writer, lyricist and producer. My most favorite part of the speech where she mentioned it. IU you are so amazing!

[@echo3501]

Kai represents my reaction too. IU you are so great, we love you♥

Yoo inna ssi must be crying right on this moment.

[@rahernandez4442]

So much happening now on Twitter regarding her PAKs and all those digital achievements. Breaking records etc. But I was always reminded by this speech of hers that truthfully stayed in my heart. One of the many reasons why I adore her as an artist and a human being in general. “I will be a singer, a songwriter, a lyricist, and a producer who will take the value of music into consideration more than the value of digital.” I always pray and wish for your happiness and safety. May you continue to be happy in everything that you do. Your UAENAS are beyond proud and grateful to you. Always and forever. 💜☺️🙈

[@trustia]

i'm not crying. IU IS THAT QUEEN! THE QUEEN OF FEMALE SOLOIST. SHE'S BEEN IN THE GAME FOR 12 YEARS.

it was such a blessing that she received this award since she truly worked hard on the album. and a huge respect that shes the first idols that encouraged other idols that they have worked hard, she has been in the industry for almost 12 years and, no wonder that she is the role model for other artists and people. and shes the most beautiful person.
