Last night, an invasion of the Korean kind happened in Hong Kong for the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). We’re talking..hot, singing, and dancing idols from Korea, alongside some Asian celebrities and international performers.

Some of the notable stars who attended the gala event were such as Jackie Chan, Adam Lambert, and Choi Ji Woo (of “Winter Sonata” fame), just to name a few. Sure, these stars have got close to nothing to do with K-Pop, but their presence lit up the awards arena and made MAMA 2012 even more star-studded than it already was.

The big winner was of course, the man who united the world with just one silly, slapstick-ish music video (read: “Oppa Gangnam Style”). Psy swooped up a total of four awards – “Best Dance Performance Solo”, “International Favourite Artiste”, “Best Music Video”, and the prestigious one for “Song of the Year”. All of which was befitting to his out-of-this-world success of that super duper mega hit of his.

Big Bang, on the other hand, took home three awards – “Best Male Group”, “Best Guardian Angel Award” aka “Guardian Angel Worldwide Performer”, and the grand “Artiste of the Year” award.

Big Bang’s leader, G-Dragon aka Kwon Ji-yong, claimed the “Best Male Solo” award for his own.

Epik High, the group that had only just returned to the K-Pop scene from a three-year hiatus in October 2012 bagged MAMA 2012’s  “Best Rap/Hiphop” award. This just means that YG Entertainment‘s artistes (Psy, Big Bang, G-Dragon, and Epik High) were clearly the biggest winners of the night!
