As expected, the phenomenal Gangnam Style of Psy bagged the Song of the Year at the 2012 Mnet Music Awards held at Hongkong last November 30, 2012.  The well loved Big Bang was named as Artist of the Year and my fave Super Junior , Sexy Free and Single was the album of the year.

Now, i wonder why Kpop artists won the major awards, it was perhaps their charisma has been spread all over the world.

Psy’s gangnam style is considered the most viewed video at Youtube having passed the 810 million views.  The song was also recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records in September.

The music awards was watched by many asian viewers especially that well known groups like Super Junior, Bigbang, Taiwan sensation singer Wang Leehom, and other Kpop sensation will going to perform.

The event was hosted by South Korean actress Han Ga-in, Han Chae-young. Choi Ji-woo, Jackie Chan and actor  Jung Woo-sung.
