A Daesang is a prestigious and the highest award given at Korean award ceremonies, especially between actors, idols, and artists. It means "grand prize" and is awarded to artists who have achieved the highest level of success in their field. Winning a Daesang focuses on the records released by artists that year and how many copies they sold, both physically and digitally. However, for drama and entertainment awards, the cultural impact of the artist should also be considered. The number of Daesangs given out and the criteria for winning them can vary depending on the award show.
