The 14th KKBOX Music Awards has named Super Junior as the winner of its Artist of the Year award!

Super Junior proves their unfading power yet again as they become the winners of this year’s Artist of the Year grand award at the 14th KKBOX Music Awards!

With this win, the group has become the first foreign act to emerge victorious on the category at the music awards show. This feat by the group is widely applauded as many Korean and other foreign artists have attended the Taiwan-based awards show’s ceremony in the past but have not successfully taken home the title.

Through KKBOX which organizes the awards show, more than 12 million people around the world can watch live broadcasts through more than 30 media centers, including TV, Internet, apps and radio.
