The year is almost coming to an end and it's time for the year-end award shows! It was just recently (November 13, 2014) that MelOn Music Awards was held. K-pop groups were given recognition in different categories such as 'Song of the Year', 'Album of the Year and many other more. Since it's one of the most prestigious awarding ceremony in Korea, the idol groups prepared performances to showcase their talent as well as their hit songs. Here are 5 personally picked highlight perfomances during the awards night (in no particular order).
IU's performance was simple and had an angelic vibe. There was no loud background music nor crazy dance moves. It was just her and her music. She simply sang 'My Old Story' and 'Meaning of You'. When she opened her mouth and started singing, the crowds went wild by screaming at the top of their lungs. Throughout the whole performance, her voice sounded sweet and it was accompanied by an orchestra composed of old people and a choir consists of kids.
Next is the performance of 'Some' by Junggigo and Soyou. It was simple yet it still kept the sweet aura especially when the duo just sang with smiles on their faces. With their performance, anyone would want to bob their head up and down along with the tune of the song. On the other note, the duo also interacted with the other artist who were there. It made their stage number looked livelier.
It was not just Junggigo and Soyou who performed as a duo that night since there was AKMU who had a performance which was themed as Alice in Wonderland. The child actress in Miracle in Cell No. 7 took part in the performance as she narrated the beginning as well as danced with the Lee siblings in the end. 'Give Love' and '200%' was performed and it was evident that the crowd loved the songs just by the cheers that erupted from them. But it seemed like Chanhyuk was sick since he looked like he was struggling to catch his breath and was unable to sing some of his parts properly. But nonetheless, it was a performance worth watching.
Then there's WINNER! They showcased their individuals skills and unique colors by performing solos before singing their hit song Empty together. If non-Kpoppers would watch their performance, they would probably think that the group aren't rookies anymore because of their versatility. It's pretty impressive too that one of the members (Seunghoon) wrote a new song, Serenade, for his solo act. It's safe to say, just by how they were reacting in SNS, that everyone who belongs to the Inner Circle (WINNER's fandom) had fallen head over heels for their charm individually and as a group because of their performance.
Last is Taeyang's performance. It was a performance like the usual. He showed great moves and great vocals matched with energy and emotions. Taeyang's stage number was the most anticipated during the whole awards night. It was reported that the ratings reached its peak during his solo stage which proved his success and popularity.
MelOn Music Awards is not just an event wherein idols receive awards. It's also an opportunity for them to show what their talents are and why they deserve an award. Simply, it's K-Pop groups' venue to give a year end blast of performance. If you haven't watched MMA 2014, then I say you should! And we must not also forget that Mnet Asian Music Awards is nearing as well and it means another round of awesome stages so let's look forward to it too.
