To negate the current gloomy atmosphere of this scene, I`d like to introduce you an interesting Korean SC community culture; SC awards.
Every year around November, most Korean SC communities become busy preparing for election in order to nominate and elect the most outstanding player/team/coach/issue/idiot/etc. of the year.
Though it may seem like a joke, it is regarded quite seriously; it is considered SC communities` year-end event among Korean SC fans since 2006, the year when the first award was held.
The actual process of voting looks quite like a real election; you can see sabotages, instigation, pledges and betting (about 50 cents) during the campaign.
After the two-week election, votes are counted for 3-weeks. Then, the result of the ballot is opened to the community in December. Talking about results, agreeing or disagreeing, people close the year and greets new season.
And.. we got the results now. Let`s see.

Interesting awards. Is there any way for people outside of the Korean community to get involved in these proceedings and hang out on those forums?

Sure, if you do understand Korean and wait till next November.
Actually, TL also can do this kind of year-end awards IMO.

TL does awards too. They like giving Taeja best Terran to watch the masses complain.

Do I get it right that:
Bust of the year - it's something like "disappointment of the year"?
Issues of the year - something like "most discussed problem"?
and Legit of the year - something like "the good fellow?

I'd imagine Legit of the year is more like rookie of the year.

Bust would be disappointment.
Issue would be more along the lines of "Hot topic" instead of problem.
Legit of the year....I guess it would be like "Prudence of the year" (개념인 = Guy with common sense)
Well now I know who Thouhastmail is in SGall xD
P.S. I could translate SGall fanfics to TL if people want it.
P.P.S. When is epilogue of 2015 WCS Grand Finals coming out? I desperately want to read it and translate it.
P.P.P.S. I would consider Meme of the Year to be "Quote of the year", and Photogenic of the Year to be "Meme of the Year". Personal preference, as they are kinda half and half, with benefits to either translation.

He's kinda taboo at this point... As you can see we only use his initials.

That was a picture of Bisu, Terror, and the rest of the gang celebrating a big donation. Regular screaming and whatnot.... Bisu fist pumping was made into a gif file titled "Happier than a MSL Winner!" Full Boing Boing indeed
