This year, a total of 1,336,929 fans voted using KakaoTalk, showing a nearly 276% increase compared to last year’s SMS voting figures.

The night’s big honorees included Kim Chiu for Celebrity of the Year, JhaBea for Celebrity Couple of the Year, Vice Ganda for Social Media Star of the Year, and Bride for Rent for Movie of the Year.

Participants received exclusive gifts for reaching certain milestones, and a lucky fan won a free iPad Mini by recording the high score of the night.
