"Choose the Best Performance"... Interpark Announces Golden Ticket Awards Nominees and Opens Voting

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The 16th Golden Ticket Awards, the only quantitative performance awards hosted by Interpark, is resuming online audience voting and the awards ceremony after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. The Golden Ticket Awards, which selects the performances with the highest ticket power and the key figures who led the box office across all performance genres throughout the year, opened the candidate announcements and voting page by category at 2 p.m. on the 29th.

The 16th Golden Ticket Awards is divided into the Grand Prize and Individual categories and the Performance category, with voting held over 11 days from the 29th to April 8 for 10 detailed categories out of a total of 13. The Individual category selects winners in musical male and female, play male and female, domestic concert musicians, classical/dance/traditional arts artists, small theater musical actors, scene-stealer actors, and popularity awards. The Performance category includes awards for musicals, plays, classical/dance/traditional arts works, and the prestigious Golden Ticket Grand Prize. Candidates were selected from 9,435 performances held between March 1, 2021, and last month’s 28th (based on viewing date). Winners will be announced on April 19.

Candidates in each category are selected based on Interpark ticket sales volume, combined with the number of online audience votes, creating an objective and fair method for selecting winners. Among the award categories, the Popularity Award, Scene Stealer Award, and Small Theater Musical Actor Award are determined 100% by online voting. Meanwhile, the Golden Ticket Awards, which began in 2005, is currently the longest-running awards ceremony in Korea’s performance industry and is recognized as the ceremony that best represents the works and artists with the highest ticket power throughout the year.

The full list of nominated works and detailed candidates by individual category for the Golden Ticket Awards can be viewed on Interpark Ticket’s PC and mobile versions, with voting available only on mobile. Those who participate in voting in one or more categories will be automatically entered into a draw where 100 people will receive 5,000 Interpark iPoints.
