Who's 'So Loved' in Europe? The Winners and Nominees for the 2013 European K-Pop So Loved Awards- 2NE1, B.A.P, Ailee and G-Dragon Get 'Loved'

As you all know, the world of K-Pop has affected everyone around the world. The craze of the music, fashion, and choreography spreads to other countries and people are loving the country of South Korea in-terms of their music.

Germany is one country in Europe in which K-Pop is a favorite there. From the tours in-which K-Pop stars have done and are currently doing, the music has spread globally!!

What is So-Love Award

This award which first began in the year "2010" is now held every year by forming partnerships and letting the Koreans know that the countries in Europe are participating by doing awards such as this one. By doing this, the countries in Europe hope to see more stars travel there to do concerts as well as world tours.

Like what their website basically stated for their mission, it is basically to have "assistance" with "various partners" in the "Korean culture" as well as the "pop culture industry." Then through the "results" that they find out on, the scores are then "forwarded to the winning artists" as well as to their "entertainment companies." So in a way, this basically gives a picture on where the stars of their agency stand in Europe as well as who they like and dislike from the people who votes in Germany. This is all to "plan for future activities in Europe." Not bad because it benefits the singers as well as let's them know that they have numerous fans in Europe who will be excited when they do decide to do a concert there.

What Are the Categories?

There are a total of nine categories which are "Band Male & Female," "Solo Artist Male & Female," "Debut Male & Female," "Song & Music Video," "Album & Mini Album," "Single Album & Japan Release," "Choreography Male and Female," "Drama & OST Song," and "Rock/Alternative & Hip Hop/R&B" for the 2013 "So Loved Award."
