TheGolden Disc Awards (Korean: 골든 디스크 시상식, formerly spelled theGolden Disk Awards before 2015) is an annual South Korean major music awards ceremony that honors achievements in the local music industry.[2] The awards ceremony was founded with the purpose to promote popular culture creativity, discover new artists, and contribute to the growth of the music industry. The first ceremony was held in 1986.[3]
The 35th Golden Disc Awards was held on 9–10 January 2021 without a live audience due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[4]
From its inception in 1986, the event was called the Korea Visual and Records Grand Prize Award (Korean: 대한민국 영상음반대상) until 2001, when the event named was changed to the Golden Disk Awards.[5] The spelling was later changed to the Golden Disc Awards in 2015.
The awards ceremony was hosted in South Korea until 2012, when it was hosted inOsaka, Japan. The ceremony was also hosted internationally inKuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2013, and inBeijing, China in 2015.[6]
The Golden Disc Awards trophies were designed by sculptor Kim Su-hyeon, a professor atChungbuk National University. The trophy is in the shape of a woman playing a traditional Korean wind instrument.[7]
As of the 40th Golden Disc Awards, there were three grand prizes: Album of the Year (also known as Album Daesang), Digital Song of the Year (also known as Digital Song Daesang), and Artist of the Year (also known as Artist Daesang). Main prizes (also known as Bonsang) are awarded to multiple artists in both the Album and Digital Song categories. The grand prize winners are chosen from the main prize winners.[39][2][40]
