The 35th Golden Melody Awards took place at the Taipei Arena on the evening of June 29th. Chinese singers Qu Jude and Xu Jun, who were nominated for the Song of the Year award, announced last minute that they would be absent, surprising many. Xu Jun won Best Composer and Best Arranger awards earlier but had to be represented by someone else due to not being present. When the stand-in went on stage, they spoke only 8 words, leaving presenter Wei Ru Xuan feeling awkward. Xu Jun had received 7 nominations for his album 'Expectation Collection' and won several awards during the night, despite the unexpected turn of events.
