[NEWS] Korea's boy band BigBang rule MTV TRL Awards


BigBang's fans prove they're worth their crowns at the MTV TRL Awards in Italy

Boy band haters, step back. K-pop fans, to the front, please.

There seems to be no stopping the K-pop juggernaut, as BigBang — considered Korea's national boy group and undisputed pop culture leaders — beat strong competition from UK boy band One Direction, pop's punk-rocker Avril Lavigne, Italian pop star Alessandra Amoroso and singer Emma to win the Best Fan award at the MTV Italy TRL (Total Request Live) Awards. The awards celebrate the most popular artists and music videos in that country.

Following the announcement, Taeyang (@Realtaeyang) tweeted: "WE WON!!!!! :) yey!!!" and followed it up with, "We have best fans in the world..! Love ya'll."

As testament to this, their fans — known as VIPs — had their victory trending around the world on Twitter yesterday, including in the UAE with the hashtag #BigbangfantasticVIPs.
