A literal translation of Yahoo's "apology" since so many have asked me about it....
From yahoo's weibo:
#雅虎香港人气大奖2014# 抱歉各位Henecia,小虎之前看错了,贤重偶吧并没有视频播放,弄错了消息向大家道歉。不过我们最终会将奖颁给他的!年度热搜韩国男艺人2014年度大奖--金贤重!
#Yahoo Hong Kong Popularity Grand Prize 2014# Sorry to all Henecia, prior to this, the little tiger (referring to themselves) saw the wrong thing, Hyun Joong Oppa didn't actually have a video to broadcast, we're sorry we got the news wrong. But ultimately we will give him the prize ! Grand prize for hottest searched Korean male artist of the year - Kim Hyun Joong!

The background to this - yahoo responded to enquiries regarding whether HJ would attend the Yahoo Buzz Awards by saying that he would not be coming, but had sent a video over. This was on the 5th of December, and was not corrected in the following days . The "apology" came only after the conclusion of the awards, which lasted 3 hours. Note that they have also changed the name of the award that was given, so many Chinese fans are understandably angry.
