VOTING CLOSED.
VOTING CLOSED.
Okay, this is where the post starts to get long. There are 3 ways to vote for the Seoul Music Awards.
First Way - WeChat
First, download the WeChat app to your phone/tablet/etc.


cr, as tagged.
Second Way - Seoul Music Awards App
(cr, sudaein)
The 24th Seoul Music Awards will be held on 22nd January 2015, mobile votings have started today (27th November)!
Voting period: 27th Nov 2014 till 20th Jan 2015
EXO has been nominated in 3 categories:
Step 1
Download the Seoul Music Awards phone app: link*this is for Android Playstore, I’m still unsure for Apple users
Step 2
Open the app, wait while it loads and it will direct you to the voting page

Step 3
Click on the thumbs up sign is to vote.
However, when you try clicking it, it will require you to login to your account or to register. So, click “확인" when a pop-up shows after you clicked the thumbs up.
*sorry I forgot to screencap to show how the pop-up looks like but just click 확인
Step 4
Registering
*Follow and click on the bolded red
[!] Remember to click on the bolded yellow! It is a must to check and confirm your nickname and email that there are no duplication or what not. If not it will show a pop-up stopping you from continuing. The ones that I left blank are not a must so just leave them blank.
After clicking 가입하기, you have successfully registered an account and it will redirect you back to the main page and ready to vote!
Step 5
Earning coins to vote
To vote for exo, the app requires you to have ‘coins’. To earn coins, follow as below (follow and click on the bolded red):


By downloading a series of selected apps, it lets you earn various amount of coins! Follow and click the following bolded red:


Different apps give you different amount of coins, just as listed in the yellow words

However, not all apps are available for international fans, many are not available outside of Korea.
As of now, I’ve only tried a few and found 3 that are able to be downloaded for international fans.
To download, just click on the app and it will automatically redirect you to Playstore to download. After downloading the apps, you need to ‘Open’ the apps (launching by clicking the apps) in order to gain those coins. (*You can uninstall the app after opening them anyway, it’s just a must to open the apps, only downloading will not give you the coins!)
After these downloads, you’ll get your coins and you are ready to vote!
To see the coins gained (the one bolded red):

Step 6
Voting! (follow the screencaps below)



Each vote costs 50 coins, but if you have a large amount of coins, you don’t have to click and vote one by one, there is an option to directly select the number of votes! Follow as below:

The section bolded in red is a drop down that allows you to select number of votes you want to give, 1장 means one.
So for example, with the amount of coins I have now, I’m allowed to choose to vote 7 times maximum as allowed.
Once you’ve selected, click “확인" when the pop-up appears (*just like the screencap before above).
EXO are nominated for Bonsang 본상, Popularity Award 인기상 and Hallyu Special Award 한류특별상 so you’ll have to use the coins to vote among these 3 categories.
To change the voting page, it’s just by simply clicking the tags above the voting chart

That’s all for the tutorial~ You could try and error yourself to find which app can be downloaded to gain the coins and or ways to gain more coins to vote. I’ll still keep a look out on any other ways to vote. If any questions, just leave any doubts or recommendations any of you found in my ask! Or I will try to reply through my twitter if possible.

Third Way - Seoul Music Awards Website
(cr, sudaein)
Step 1
Click on the official site of the 2014 Seoul Music Awards, link
Login into your account on the official site. (Click on the bolded red)


Yes you need an account, the account would be the same as the one made through the mobile voting app.
For those that do not know about the mobile voting app and do not have an account yet, please refer to this tutorial: link
Step 2
Voting for EXO! (Follow the ones bolded red)
*Move your cursor (your ‘computer mouse arrow’) towards the words ‘투표현황' and click on '실시간투표현황’

It will direct you to the voting site as shown below

The, scroll to where EXO is and click on ‘응원하기’

You are then directed to a new section where you are asked to leave a message for EXO as a way of voting for them.
So, simply just leave your message (300 words limit) and click on ‘등록’.
So, simply just leave your message (300 words limit) and click on ‘등록’.

You will know that your message (vote) has been successful as it will be shown in the list below. Your icon would be EXO’s logo. *Example below

Besides, there is another section that is exactly the same. The one that I have showed you above is listed under ‘국내' which means domestic (inside Korea), there is another section for '해외' which means overseas (international).

The voting process for overseas (international) is exactly the same as what I showed earlier for domestic (inside Korea) so you just have to repeat the process again. Not sure if the 2 sections will be sum up separately or are they totaled as one but either way it’s still voting for EXO.
As of now I don’t know what’s the limit for you to post the message as a vote so you could try it out yourselves.
However, do remember that EXO are nominated for Bonsang 본상, Popularity Award 인기상 and Hallyu Special Award 한류특별상 so you’ll have to use the coins to vote among these 3 categories.
To change the voting page, it’s just by simply clicking the tags above the voting chart

I’m not sure how this voting is going to be calculated together with the voting through mobile app or is it the same but it’d be great if EXO-Ls vote on both sides as much as possible (although it’s hard to get coins for the mobile app voting). So lets try our best and give the boys another more awards!
If any questions, just leave any doubts or recommendations any of you found in my ask! Or I will try to reply through my twitter if possible.
Go to the voting categories on the website:
