The categories are decided depending on the trend each year and award categories new this year, like girl group style/mister beauty/boom up song/etc., are drawing attention. The "girl group style" award has been created due to the big influence on the fashion market through the girl group craze. Additionally, a new award called "mister beauty" has been created to focus on handsome men. Another category attracting attention is "boom up song." This category features songs from various popular CFs and dramas.
Following the trend of the "middle-aged beauties," Yoon Sanghyun, Go Hyunjung, Kim Namjoo, Kim Taewon, Seonwoo Yong Nyuh and other stars in their 30's are also on the nominee list, while the F4 from the drama "Boys Over Flowers" set a record for being nominated in several categories. Especially Lee Minho, who has been nominated in 5 categories, has made 2009 his year.
This year, many love relationships have been revealed and thus it is expected that the competition in the category "Hot Couple" with Kim Yongjoon & Hwang Jungeum, No Hongchul & Jang Yoonjung, Se7en & Park Hanbyul, Junjin & Lee Shiyoung and Tablo & Kang Hyejung will be tough.
