Posted by K-Grenade328 pts Monday, April 19, 2021

Winning a Daesang is definitely a huge accomplishment, especially if you are a girl group!

In the Korean-Pop Industry, Daesang or the Grand Prize means the highest form of award you can garner in an award ceremony. It is one of the highest honors that any Korean artist can receive in their entire career. These awards include Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Worldwide Icon of the Year, among others, and are determined by physical and digital sales by the artists.

Being a girl group bagging these notable grand prizes against 'soloist digimons' and 'physical monster boy groups' is tough, so that is why it is a huge accomplishment for girl groups.
