Hello, I am Son Sung-Min, the Chief Executive of the APAN Awards and the Chairman of the Korean Entertainment Management Association.
First of all, as the Chief executive of South Korea’s first and one and only integrated awarding ceremony to air on all-broadcasts, I would like to thank everyone who have dedicated their careers to Korean pop culture, artist and most of all fans who love and support our industry.
Dare I say, K-Drama influence is no longer limited to Asia and it is breaking all known cultural barriers and spreading all around the world. We, APAN Awards, in the course of our new cultural era, will continually adapt, change and promote K-Drama to the world. Also, with the establishment of our new music award, the APAN Music Awards, we will set a cornerstone as Korea’s leading K-culture awards ceremony.
For all of the effort that were put in by our judges to make our awards ceremony fair and unbiased, we will also put in our utmost effort to win the hearts of our viewers and become, not simply a leading awards ceremony, but a K-culture festival for all.
