Remembering Big Bang’s epic win at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Exactly a year ago today, Korean boy group Big Bang bagged the Best Worldwide Act at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.

With 58 million votes to their name, Big Bang scored an upset and won the award over US pop star Britney Spears and European singer Lena. The awards night also saw the quintet’s reunion after Daesung and G-Dragon, who had been involved in separate scandals, went in hiatus and shied away from the public eye. 

Filipino VIPs are commemorating this momentous occasion via Twitter, with the #BIGBANGEMAnniversary hashtag.

Spazz Saturday #9 | Big Bang Alive Galaxy Tour Manila!

More than a week has passed since this year's ultimate Kpop event took place, but the sound of Taeyang's "Manila, Baby! Manila, Baaaa-by!" still resonates in my ears. This my friends, is what we call the Beautiful Hangover. I'm pretty sure majority, if not all of those present during the Alive Galaxy Tour Manila, feel the same way as I do.

Samsung Galaxy Booth.

My girls and I arrived at the MOA Arena around 5:30 pm. It had been announced via Facebook and Twitter that gates will open at 6pm, and by the time we got there, a huge crowd was already piled up at ONE side of the MOA Arena. We were expecting a smaller crowd and shorter queue by the time we've finished dinner and done taking photos at the Samsung and Jeju Air booths (that was a little before 7pm), but NOOOOO - the crowd became even more ginormous and rambunctious because the gates didn't open as scheduled.
