From BTS and EXO to TWICE and Red Velvet, the nominees for the 31st Golden Disk Awards are here!

We are currently in the middle of the K-pop awards season, and the competition for those end-of-year awards has heated up dramatically with the reveal of the nominees for the upcoming 31st Golden Disk Awards!

Presented annually by the Music Industry Association of Korea, the Golden Disk Awards recognises the most outstanding musical achievements throughout the year, and the 2016 edition looks to be one of the most closely fought yet.

Starting with the "Disk Nominees", which are all the nominated albums which were released in 2016, there are a number worthy nominees this year, such as BTS, EXO, SHINee, TWICE, Taeyeon and I.O.I, and competition will undoubtedly be tough for all!
