Dongha was unexpectedly honored with a Popular Artist of The Year award, and appeared to be very happy about it.
This is the same DIMF Award Ceremony, where he received his Debut of The Year award in 2014, for his role of The Poet (Gringoire) in "Notre Dame De Paris, the Musical".
This time, he couldn't of course receive Rookie Award any more, so he got Artist of the Year, probably because of his big success in Musical Turandot, where he played the role of Prince Calaf.
During the ceremony in Daegu, he and Ali even performed a duet from Turandot, and Dongha sounded great in my opinion, while Ali actually tried to out-sing him, and sounded too loud.
Was this latest award the fans doing? Did they somehow place his nomination, and voted for him in full force? Or has he truly received the recognition by music professionals?
I wonder.
He definitely deserved it, but the string of successes he has had last year, and this year, seem almost too good to be true. What is wrong with me? Why am I so suspicious?
Anyway, it was good to see him in public again, well dressed, and in a very good vocal form.
PS. Just to set records straight; I have received an explanation that the winners of the DIMF were chosen by the organizers of the festival. It wasn't based on public votes. OK.
