Korean singer Son Dambi at 2010 [V] Chinese TOP Year Awards [Pledis Enterterainment]

Korean songstress Son Dambi won an award for best stage presence at a top annual TV awards ceremony in Taiwan last week, according to her agency Pledis Entertainment on Monday.

Pledis announced through a press release today that Son Dambi claimed the prize for foreign artist with best stage presence at a fest hosted by cable music channel Channel [V] Taiwan on January 13.

Son took part in a press conference for the event, as well as performing her 2008 hit song “Crazy” at the ceremony.

She is already well known in Taiwan due to the success of her first EP album “The Queen” released earlier in country.

This, combined with the popularity of Korean TV drama “Dream” (SBS, 2009) that stars both her and actor Kim Bum from mega-hit Korean series “Boys Over Flowers,” went on air in Taiwan, also helping to publicize the singer.

Son, 27, began her career in the entertainment industry with appearances in commercials before jumping into the music business. She has trained with famous American choreographers and is called the female version of Korean pop sensation Rain.

She released her debut single "Cry Eye" in 2007 and has released three mini-albums and a full-length album to date.
