Open TV, Studio C, a new program on MTV Korea, will feature BIGBANG on its pilot episode showing on November 27th. The staff of Studio C also went to Belfast with BIGBANG and they will be showing exclusive footage from the MTV Europe Music Awards on the show.
In celebration of BIGBANG’s win at the MTV Europe Music Awards, SBS MTV (MTV Korea) will be playing old shows of BIGBANG and revealing exclusive footage of the MTV EMAs in Belfast. Here’s the sked:
Korean record labels and talent agencies are desperate to exploit the global hype generated by their pop stars but the jury is out on whether they are destined for a lucrative future or disappointment.
The companies have so far benefited from the uniqueness of the domestic music market and it remains to be seen whether their unproven business model will prove enough to secure their long-term success as publicly-traded firms.

K-Pop super group Big Bang proved their Hallyu star status once again during the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards by bagging the coveted “Best Worldwide Act” award.
After an absolutely astonishing amount of voting from fans (over 158 million votes!), the 2011 MTV EMA winners have been announced, and the chosen ones have walked home (or perhaps been chauffeured to the after-party) with the coveted awards. Lady Gaga dominated the show, leaving Belfast with four wins (Best Female, Best Song, Best Video, and Biggest Fan).
YG Entertainment made it official on November 8 that they have a new boy band and girl group waiting for debut next year. At a press conference held to address the label’s public listing on the KOSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) stock market, the CEO of YGE, Yang Min Suk, said the company currently has two idol bands in training that are expected to be the next Big Bang and 2NE1.
