The winners of the 36th Golden Disc Awards are based on the evaluation (40%) of a 50-member expert jury consisting of Golden Disc executive members, music reporters, music program producers, popular music critics, and officials from domestic distribution companies, and the Gaon Chart sales count (60%).
Vaccinations were checked in advance at the ‘clean concert hall’ that complied with social distancing guidelines and quarantine rules, and everyone tested their own kits at the site.
At the site, disinfection was carried out every hour with disinfectant, as well as wearing a mask in the event hall and hand sanitizer placed in a conspicuous place.
The entrance to the event hall was minimized and the ticket distribution site was unified.
People and vehicles that were not registered in advance were controlled, the same quarantine rules were applied to the artists, so they checked their identities with their real names, and checked the temperature of those who entered with a non-contact thermometer.
