The venue for the 30th annual Golden Disk Awards has been changed.
While it was previously confirmed that Shenzhen, China would host the yearly awards show put on by the Music Industry Association of Korea, organizers were forced to change the location due to safety concerns following a massive landslide in the region. In response to the environmental disaster, officials in China decided to cancel all major events in the area.
The Golden Disk Awards will now be held in Seoul on Jan. 20 and 21 inside the Peace Hall at Kyunghee University. The university previously hosted the 28th Golden Disk Awards on January 16, 2014.
The confirmed K-pop artists to appear at the upcoming music awards show include BEAST, BTS, f(x), SHINee, VIXX, and Big Bang.
Voting for which artists take home the major trophies on that night, can be done by visiting the award show's official website.
