Fans started to queue at the Sepang International Circuit
entrance as early as 8am to secure a front row view. The entrance was opened at
2.30pm. By the time, fans were geared up to enter the venue. Fans had to walk a
long stretch of road before they could reach the ticket entrance. Fans have to
line up according to their ticket category. The exclusive red carpet event was scheduled
to start around 5.00pm so the Samsung Galaxy ticket holders were allowed to
enter the venue at 4.30pm.
Gates were opened on time and fans were pleased as it was
tiring queuing up as early as 8am and waited under burning hot sun for 8 hours
straight. The red carpet event was simple and short as nominated artistes
arrived at the red carpet area with their SUVs. It was more of a short photo
taking session by the medias and the artistes did a short briefing on
themselves before heading backstage to do interviews with medias. Fans were all
hyped out when screams could be heard along the way.
When the stage entrance was opened, fans became a little too
chaotic as they could not wait to enter. The gate were pushed open, leaving
securities worrying about their safety. The award show was predicted to kick
off at 7.30pm and it did. The emcee for Day 1 was CN Blue’s Jung Yong-hwa and
KARA’s Nicole Jung. Yong-hwa spoke in Korean as it is a Korean award event
while Nicole spoke English, impressing the crowd with her fluent English.
Before they take their role as the emcee of the day, the 2 of them who are from
popular boy band and girl group gave fans an explosive opening performance.
Nicole and Yong-hwa sang “Because Of You” (Neyo’s version). What captured the hearts’
of the fans was Nicole’s sexy chair dance at the very beginning.
First off, Yong-hwa and Nicole did a short introduction and
gave an opening speech by giving fans insights of The Golden Disk Awards on how
votes were calculated and how awards were granted. The first award was the
Golden Disk Award Album Division. It was won by Infinite, B1A4, CN Blue, FT
Island, BEAST, 4minute, KARA, SHINee and Super Junior.
Each performance from the artist comes along after they have
given their thank you speech. The first 2 groups to perform were Infinite and
B1A4. Infinite performed 2 of their hit title track, “The Chaser” and “Paradise”.

Infinite wow fans with their synchronized choreography while B1A4 surprised
fans with their striking red costumes.
The second award to be given out was New Rising Kpop Star.
This award is to be given to a rookie or rookie group who have debuted not long
ago and have proved that they are definitely a star or group to keep an eye on
with their skyrocketing popularity. This award were granted to SM’s new
creation, EXO and FNC’s new it girl, Juniel. EXO proved to the crowd that they deserved
the award by performing their hit debut song “MAMA” and “History”. Juniel in
other hand, sang a lovely song “Bad Person” and a duet with her senior CN Blue’s
Jong-hyun, “Illa Illa”.
Next up, 3 awards were given away at the same time, Next
Generation Star, Best Dance Performance and Best Group Performance. BTOB, the
newly debuted boy group from Cube Entertainment took the Next Generation Star
award home, leaving Melodies with a smile on their faces. The Best Dance
Performance was awarded to the talented mixed group, Trouble Maker. Since the
exotic performance Trouble Maker gave during the MAMA Stage in Singapore, they
have been conquering hearts of many young fans around the globe with their sexy
and powerful dance moves. Lastly, nobody deserves the Best Group Performance
other than Infinite. Infinite was well known with their synchronized group
performance and have made them a tough competitor in the industry.
Trouble Maker, made up from Cube Entertainment consisting
HyunA from 4minute and Jang Hyun-seung from Beast was the first to perform
among the 3 of them. The sexy performance of them made fans cheered for more
but unfortunately, they only sang their title song, “Trouble Maker”. Next up,
BTOB took the stage. The new boy group rocked the crowd with their hit songs “Insane”
and “WOW”. The catchy song of theirs made Melodies hyped up.
FT Island continued to heat up the crowd by singing “I Wish”
and “Life”. Lee Hong-ki, the main singer of the group was the bomb of the
night. The vocal and expression of his throughout the night was indescribable. The
band was amazing as they showed off their guitar and rapping skills perfectly
on stage. Lee Hong-ki was the emcee for The 27th Golden Disk Awards
on Day 2 along with Da-som from SISTAR.
MSN Southeast Asia Award, a special award given to Super

for them and even stated that they will be back for CN Blue’s concert in
Malaysia soon. The sweet girls of Kara were thrilled to receive the award.
Nicole, emcee of the day thanked Malaysian Kamilias in English and walked away
with a trophy on their hands.
B1A4 had a special stage after KARA and CN Blue left the stage.
They shed off their striking red look and appeared in a black and white look.
BTOB and Exo also performed a special stage song after B1A4 which were
dedicated to Melodies and Exotics. The powerful performance by Exo really
amazed the crowd.
4minute and CN Blue came under the spotlight to receive
their Golden Disk Award Album Division. 4minute teased fans with their long
legs and pretty faces. 4minute performed “Volume Up”, “Pretend” and “Hot Issue”
afterwards. The catchy song of theirs made fans craved for more. CN Blue gave
their best on stage by performing “Hey You” and “Intuition”. The awesome performances
leave fans with jaw-dropping expression.
After the performance, it is back to award ceremony time.
This time, 2 awards were given at the same time. JTBC Best Artiste goes to
Beast and Producer of the Year goes to Han Seung-ho from FNC. Beast was dressed
in smart black and white suits with tie. They were more than happy to receive
the meaningful award. This is the 5th time for Beast to land their
feet in Malaysia and Beauties were excited to meet them after a long time.
Artistes from FNC such as FT Island, CN Blue and Juniel came up to the stage
and congratulated Han Seung-ho for winning the award.
Beast sang “Special” and “Beautiful Night” for the night. Lee Gi-kwang, unfortunately tore his pants while dancing to “Special”. He went backstage to change his pants but I guess there were no extra pants for him and he had to continue performing, without changing his tore pants. Still, Beast gave a beastly performance and sang to their latest hit song “Beautiful Night”.
Kara in the other hand performed their sexy song “Pandora”, “Mister”
and “Step”. However, due to the spotlight problem, lighting went off during
Kara’s “Pandora” performance. The girls were requested to dance again for the
recording as the award show wasn't a live show. While waiting for the lighting
problem to be solved, the girls went backstage, preparing to hit the stage
again. As a professional emcee, Yong-hwa kept the fans entertained by creating
Mexican wave. Fans were more than excited to cooperate. Good job Yong-hwa!
The last two performance of the night were Super Junior and
SHINee. Super Junior brought home 3 big awards which were Golden Disk Award
Album Division, Album of the Year and MSN Southeast Asia Award. Super Junior
performed their hit songs such as “Super Man”, “Bonamana”, “Oppa Oppa” and “Sexy,
Free & Single”. Their extraordinary performance captivated ELFs heart and
made the long wait worthwhile. They were friendly to the crowd and Kang-in nearly
shed tears while receiving the grand award and were teased by his fellow group
mate.
Last but not least, SHINee finally step on the land of
Malaysia. Despite the cancelled event in 2012, SHINee made Shawols shed tears
by performing “Sherlock” and “Lucifer”. Shawols were screaming their lungs out
for SHINee and chanted “SHINee’s back” and “SHINee’s in the house”. It was a
touching performance as it was a dream comes true for all Shawols who have been
waiting for them.
At the end of the event, all the artistes gathered on stage
to bid farewell to their fans and to make the closing. A few of the groups did
not last until the end because of their tight schedule and had to depart early.
Once again, congratulations to all the winners and do comeback to Malaysia
soon!
