Super Junior | Another Day, Another Daesang.

We're on a roll!

Still basking from their epic win at the 26th Golden Disk Awards, I'm traipsing on cloud nine again as the boys add more laurels to their name. One of which was the Daesang Award in the Seoul Music Awards, held last night (January 19) at the Seoul Olympic Stadium.

The boys got pretty emotional upon receiving their award. Siwon, usually cool and collected, could not contain his emotions and broke down into tears. Because real men are not afraid to cry, haha.

He lovingly dedicated their award to his maternal grandmother, who passed away last week. Leeteuk, who was surprisingly the most composed (he's usually the first one to cry), graciously thanked the fans:

I always wanted happiness so I'm always looking for happiness. But ever since we debuted on 6th November 2005 until now, every moment had been blissful. The ones that gave us this present called "happiness" are all the fans, audiences, and everyone around the world that looked at us like sunflowers, I will share the honour of this daesang with you all. We will become the Super Junior thats beside everyone, not only for a moment, but for forever. Thank you everyone.

And once the boys hit backstage, the tweets started coming in.

Shindong, holding the SMA Daesang and Bonsang said: Seoul is to ... Thank you so much for. .. Tears Djourou made Djourou lookout!! Low ... It's also the second feeling!! Ugh!!!!! (as translated on Flitto)

Siwon also tweeted in Hangul: Today I got so much grateful six awards ~ ^ ^ I guess once again, we thank you and I love them one by one _ the heart line baby t a _ _ _ _ like hugs and. .. Walk with us in the future ^ ^ (as translated on Flitto)

If you're wondering why he said 'six awards', its because they snagged four more trophies at the AllKPop Awards. These are: Best Choreography and Song of the Year for Mr. Simple, Best Social Network Personality for Choi Siwon, and (the most wonderful of all) Best Male Group of 2011.

Siwon thanked AllKPop for the recognition he received, and even posted this photo.

But best of all, he expressed his love and gratitude to the ELFs with this message: Thanks all our fans E.L.F .. ^^ love you always.. cheers!

2011 was truly a blessed year.

And Super Junior is really on top of the world!

Chughadeulibnida! Jal haenaesil jul algo isseosseoyo! (That's Hangul for 'Well done. We knew you could do it!)

Super Junior for the Win!

I was supposed to make a totally different entry - something intended for my weekly memes. But right now I'm just brimming with happiness and excitement, and I just had to post this. No, actually I want to shout, shriek, scream at the top of my lungs.

SUPER JUNIOR WINS THE DAESANG AWARD IN THE 26th GOLDEN DISK AWARDS!!!


All of the boys' hard work, their sacrifices, the blood, sweat, and tears have paid off... They finally brought home the grand prize in the most prestigious award-giving body in the Korean music industry! (Think of it as the counterpart of the Grammys in the US.) Not only that, they also nabbed four other awards: Popularity Award, MSN Japan Award, Best Selling Act of 2011, and the Bonsang Award. (Only recipients of the Bonsang Award can receive a Daesang Award. Something like the Top 6 in Miss Universe.)

I couldn't be happier and prouder for the boys. The road to GDA wasn't an easy one - with Heechul's enlistment and inevitable leave, SME favoritism issues, misinformed / uninformed media appearances - having conquered all these just makes the victory even sweeter.

Getting all three versions of their 5th album was definitely worth it. :)

In their acceptance speech, Super Junior said:

"We've been looking for happiness since November 6, 2005 and we thank the fans for giving us that happiness. When we debuted, no one expected us to succeed. We want thank super managers, Teacher Lee Soo Man and CEO Kim Young Min." (Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120111n30279)

Moments after the program ended, the boys began posting photos and sending thank you messages for their fans.

Donghae (@donghae861015) tweeted:
Super Junior Daesang. ELF, you are the best. I love you. Quadruple crown. We’ll work harder. Thank you. I love you. Suju, the best. ELF, the best!

Donghae even showed off their four awards.

Of course, Siwon sent his love, too.

Forever the gentleman.

On top of that, Super Junior also creates another record by winning the most awards in GDA history. With 13 awards to their name, they have beaten SG Wannabe's previous record of 10 awards. Super Junior is indeed, the last man standing!

Congratulations, Super Junior! And congratulations to us ELFs - the best fan base in this planet!
