2008's version of MKMF (Mnet KM Music Festival) was a big night with a lot of surprises. Most people thought that TVXQ / DBSK would be receiving the Big awards, but it was Big Bang that was snatching the Big awards by winning the Best Male Group and Best Artist of the Year awards. TVXQ did win the Auction Style Award, Auction Netizen Popularity Award, Oversea Viewers Award, and their biggest prize Album of the Year.
Girls' Generation / SNSD were up for some awards but weren't even in attendance. It didn't matter much however as they were swept by The Wonder Girls who won both Best Female Group and Song of the Year for "Nobody."
Newcomers SHINee won the best Male newcomer award, genre-defying Epik High won the Best Hip Hop Group award and sexy diva Lee Hyori won the Dance Music and Best Female Artist award... speaking of Lee Hyori.
Lee Hyori surprised a lot of people when she kissed TOP of Big Bang during their opening performance, which has a lot of netizens talking. All in all it was a great night! You can watch the video and see the pictures below.
