BTS fans are angry because idols are discriminated against by a prestigious award ceremony, SM is also punished if they sit idle?

BTS fans were outraged that the global boygroup was not named in an important category of the 19th Korean Music Awards ( KMA 2022).

On February 9, the 19th Korean Music Awards (KMA 2022) officially announced the nominations for the categories within the framework of this year's awards ceremony. Known as Korea's Academy Music Awards, the KMA honors both mainstream and underground artists from a variety of genres. Awards are awarded based on a panel of judges including academics, experts, music critics, radio show producers, and not on public opinion or artist sales. .

After 18 years of hosting, KMA is trusted by the audience for its credibility and transparency. But the upcoming KMA 2022 awards ceremony on March 1 was suddenly ridiculed by netizens for... "studying" American style, deliberately creating a new award to divide without being reasonable. .

Specifically, besides 3 familiar Daesang awards are Song Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Musician Of The Year; Rookie Of The Year award; Best Pop Song and Best Pop Album, KMA 2022 also adds 2 new categories for Kpop, Best Kpop Song and Best Kpop Album. Nominated artists include:

Best Kpop Songs:

aespa - Next Level

STAYC - ASAP

BTS - Butter

WEEEKLY - After School

TXT - 0X1=LOVE SONG (I Know I Love You)

Best Kpop Albums:

aespa - Savage

CL - Alpha

SHINee - Atlantis

BoA - Better

Chungha - Querencia

This new award does not sound strange at first glance. But if you think about it carefully, there is already a Best Pop, why does BTC even give birth to Best Kpop, while the Korean Music Awards know that the award ceremony belongs to Korea. Is it possible that in the home country, there is a distinction between Kpop and... not Kpop? And Korean music in general isn't all Kpop?

Moreover, in the Best Pop category, many idols who are familiar with Kpop fans such as AKMU, IU, Wendy (Red Velvet) are still nominated as usual. While their colleagues aespa, BTS, SHINee,... were pushed to Best Kpop. Netizens argued fiercely all day and still couldn't understand the criteria of BTC.

Nominations for categories belong to Best Pop:

Best Pop Songs:

AKMU ft. IU - NAKKA

IU - LILAC

Wendy - When This Rain Stops

Lee Mujin - Traffic Light

Lee Seung Hwan, Sunwoo Junga - How Could You

Best Pop Albums:

AKMU - Next Episode

Kim Hyun Chul - City Breeze & Love Song

IU - LILAC

eAeon - Fragile

Jung Cha Sik - Night Driving

In addition to the questions surrounding the Best Pop and Best Kpop categories, BTS' fandom also expressed dissatisfaction because the idol's hit "Butter" was only nominated for Best Kpop, not Best Pop. ARMYs cite that BTS' megahit Dynamite won Best Pop Song at last year's KMAs, so there's no reason for Butter to be pushed into the Best K-pop category this year, when both songs won. global boygroup expressed in English exactly the same.

On MXH, most of the comments are mocking the scoring criteria that no one understands of the BTC KMA. Some netizens implied that SM was involved by Wendy's appearance in the nomination for the Best Pop Song category. Besides, someone also mentioned the situation of adding a new award which is extremely suspicious and favors aespa at the awards ceremonies at the end of 2021. However, this is generally still an unfounded suspicion, because it is " SM's pet chicken" aespa was also nominated in the Best Kpop category only.

- Sad, though Butter doesn't slay as much as Dynamite, but it also won a lot of records. The international loves it too much, but when they return home, they are treated differently. Butter must be really hurt because the song is full in English but was nominated for Best Kpop Song...

- New Year's Joke. Why do you think the Korean award is an American award, why was it born Best Kpop? So maybe the other songs are in Vietnamese? What kind of birth is so unruly and disorganized? Catching Best Pop in the West, but returning home, he was kicked by Best Kpop. In addition, even at home, it distinguishes Pop from Kpop. "Canadian fantasy", the lord of humour.

- Dynamite was nominated for Best Pop Song back then. This year, Butter suddenly slipped there and won the nomination for Best Kpop Song. While both songs are full in English, how amusing? But Korea Music Awards already know Korean ceremony, is it the VMAs or AMAs that set up the Best Kpop award? BTS didn't release an album for only 1 year, but a series of awards ceremonies created new awards, is it a coincidence?

- Why do Korean awards separate Best Pop from Best Kpop? How many songs are nominated for Best Pop in Lao and Burmese? As for the full English song, it was put in Best Kpop, "khum" understood.

- SM stan preaches 7749 differences between Best Pop and Best Kpop like a real music expert, but when asked about Wendy's nomination for Best Pop Song, she pretended to be blind and pretending to be deaf...

- Who said that Best Pop is a category not for idol music come out here. So Wendy isn't a Kpop idol?

- I can clearly see the smell of "drop some money". Since "4 motorbike girls" debuted, every award ceremony has grown many new awards. Her company "forever plum".
