Before this, management company SM revealed that SNSD and SJ would be attending the award ceremony. Originally thought that the 'Melon Asia Awards' would be a feast with lots of stars but because SS501 and 2NE1 expressed their absence, in addition, KARA and BIGBANG has not confirmed whether they will attend, it has reduced the audience chances to see the 2009 Korea most excellent singers together.

Waaaah... so our boys are not attending! This is like the second big awards event that they missed, after MAMA. Well, it's all for the best I guess. After all, even if they won't attend, if they win, they win. Right? I hope they win one award at least in the MELON ASIA AWARDS.
