2nd Chungmuro International Film Festival

Mnet 20′s Choice Awards makes weird choices
MC Jang Geun-seok Although I didn’t watch August 23′s broadcast of Mnet’s 20′s Choice awards (a wannabe VMA’s, really), looking over the full winners list, my first reaction is: “What were they smoking?” Some choices made sense.
