Boy group iKON’s phenomenal musical run of 2018 was acknowledged at the Golden Disc Digital Awards.
At the 33rd Golden Disc Awards digital music awards ceremony held at Sky Dome on Saturday afternoon, iKON received the “daesang” or Grand Prize.
iKON dominated the first few months of 2018 starting with their hit song “Love Scenario,” which topped various charts for over 25 consecutive days. Billboard, an American based entertainment brand and published, chose “Love Scenario” as the K-pop chart-topper for the first half of the year.
Additionally, as songs from the like of groups like Red Velvet and Twice failed to upset their reign, they were only dethroned when BIG BANG. In March, the senior boy group released their last group song before the majority of the member enlisted.
As the year progressed, iKON produced “Killing Me” and “Goodbye Road,” cementing themselves as talented artists and proving their popularity with the public. However, while the group’s music has gotten public’s acknowledgment, the members dedicated their acceptance speech to their fans.
They can exist and make music because of their fans, they said, and that it is an honor to live in their memories. Further, they also promised to express humility and will continue to be grateful towards them.
Meanwhile, the Grand Prize winner is selected from those who win the “bosang” or Main Prize during the event. Recipients of the Main Prize where Roy Kim, Chungha, BLACKPINK, TWICE, iKON, MAMAMOO, BTS, Momoland, BIG BANG, and BOL4.
