Girls’ Generation received the Best Female Group Award and Artist of the Year Award at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards, held on November 29th in Singapore.
The award show, broadcasted live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium, included a red carpet event in which Girls’ Generation donned dazzling dresses and stunned viewers worldwide. Twitter users immediately responded, as “Omg SNSD” and “Girls Generation” quickly trended worldwide.
The award show also featured performances from many K-Pop artists, as well as artists from all over Asia. Girls’ Generation delivered an epic performance consisting of a “Girls become the Goddess” stage, as well as a remix of “The Boys” containing both English and Korean lyrics. The members displayed a powerful opening dance during the “Girls become the Goddess” stage, while demonstrating a lengthy dance break and their vocal talents during “The Boys”. The white dance outfits, the extended choreography, and fast paced remix caused widespread excitement among both fans attending the event and viewers worldwide.
In addition, Girls’ Generation also attended a press conference before the award show. They expressed their excitement at being able to perform at MAMA in front of their Singaporean fans and answered several questions presented by journalists from several different countries. The questions ranged from subjects such as their concert tour, producing more tracks in English, and even how long it takes to get their hair and makeup ready for performances. Perhaps most importantly, when asked how they envision themselves in five years and whether or not they would still be in the industry, Tiffany answered “I think we’ll all still be together, definitely still in the industry. We’re not going anywhere”.
With both the Best Female Group Award and Artist of the Year Award, Girls’ Generation once again has shown their incredible popularity and musical talent. Congratulations to Girls’ Generation!
