FT Island Nomination on MNET Asian Music Award.

Several days ago, K-Pop fans (including me) were surprised by the cancellation of the yearly event, MNET Korean Music Festival (MKMF).
It hit me big times because I am a big fan of that award show and had been waiting all year for it.

However,
MNET finally opened the website to MNET Asian Music Award (MAMA), to be replacing MKMF this year.
Yes, you heard me right.
No more MKMF but say hello to MAMA.

So I went to the website just now,
Knowing that the voting period is now opened until I don’t know when because my Korean is limited,
But I was surprised when I saw FT Island wasn’t nominated for the “Best Male Group Award” like how they got nominated last year in MKMF (and lost to Big Bang).
I searched for more nominations and realized,
FT Island had been nominated for Rock Music Award for their song 바래 instead.
They are competing against Boohwal (one of my favorite too), Seo Taiji (aww ~ the tough competitor), Jang Giha and The Faces (the weirdest band ever) and Cherry Filter (got to the love the vocalist).

Okay.
WHY IS IT FT ISLAND IS NOT NOMINATED IN “BEST MALE GROUP AWARD”?
I wonder why - they are a group and they are the YOUNGEST one among those rock groups they were nominated with.
It was surprising even SG Wannabe was nominated in the "Best Male Group Award".
Not fair!
Ah wait ~ even Lee Seunggi aren't nominated for the "Best Male Singer Award".
I am so hating this.
FT Island doesn’t even make much rock songs like the other nominees.
They are also competing for the “Song of The Year” award but well, since I am quite sure there are “other songs” which might win that one - I just kind of gave up.

PLEASE VOTE FOR FT ISLAND if you have MNET account of course.
You can check the daily vote ranking for the upcoming award for other nominations here.
You can visit the website for MAMA here.
It’s quite understandable even for those who can't read Korean.



So, right now ;
As you can see the posted photo,
FT Island is competing hard against Boohwal - with not many differences in the votes. But at least now they are leading and hope it will continue leading until the vote closes.

Wow, I can’t choose between the two.
I mean, I LOVE FT Island but I love Boohwal’s vocalist too (okay, I admit he is just so amazingly handsome).
But I want FT Island to win!
Please win!
They haven’t win any charts this year (and only GOD knows how heart broken I am to know many idol groups won charts except for FT Island) and winning this award might be the only chance for me to see my boys very happy.
Please GOD, let my five treasure island’s boys win!

Good news.
MAMA will be aired on Channel V throughout Asia (and yes, Southeast Asia including Malaysia is included but poor me who doesn’t have Channel V through my Astro).
I’ll update with the date and the time soon after I found it out.
