BIGBANG banned from SBS “Inkigayo” after G-Dragon and T.O.P fail to appear

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

Fans and netizens alike are shocked after the media revealed that music show Inkigayo has banned BIGBANG from the show.

Gaining the nickname of YG-Gayo due to SBS and YG Entertainment’s good relationship over the years with SBS showing high favoritism towards YG artists, the recent announcement has stunned many.

The reason for the banning seems to be the following: On May 24, 2015, while all five members of BIGBANG made an appearance to perform the track “LOSER,” which later won #1 at the end of the show, G-Dragon and T.O.P were nowhere to be found during the award segment and winning speech.

According to YG Entertainment, at the time, the two BIGBANG members were not present as they had music video recording schedules to attend.

During the winning speech of the aforementioned episode airing, the three members had even apologized to viewers and fans for G-Dragon and T.O.P’s absence, explaining that because they are shooting for the new music video, they were not present.

Due to this, the staff of Inkigayo has penalized the two members by banning the group from the show.

Fans are unaccepting and furious at the news as they point out the unfairness concerning votes during the past week as well. BIGBANG appeared on the voting charts for Inkigayo over 40 hours too late and due to the one vote per fan rule, VIPs were unable to catch up to other fan groups’ votings. To this, Inkigayo replied that all their charts are updated every Wednesday and nothing was abnormal. Thus, last week’s Inkigayo win went to SHINee’s “View.”

BIGBANG just released their second single [A] in their MADE series project with two more [D] and [E] set to be released in July and August. Many are looking to see how this Inkigayo situation with BIGBANG will be resolved.


Ilgan Sports

1. [+9,124, -1,210] They don't want to give Big Bang the award because their pride's hurt~ but if they don't, their fans will yell at them.. so just drag it out

2. [+6,108, -410] So voting makes you get Mers now?

3. [+5,640, -301] Farewell, Inkigayo...

4. [+1,612, -328] They really don't want to give Big Bang the award, huh

5. [+1,206, -35] Are they in a meeting deciding who to give the award to? ㅋㅋ Why don't they just release the winner if the results are out already?

6. [+1,273, -184] Just admit you don't want to give the award to Big Bang~~ What's the point of revealing the winner on the homepage and not on broadcast? ㅋㅋ

7. [+1,095, -112] Big Bang was given a penalty by the producers to keep them off the show because they did not come up as a group for the award speech... even though the other two members had music video filmings.. Big Bang has been banned from Inkigayo ㅋㅋㅋ this is nuts


TV Report

1. [+2,513, -122] ?????? There have been plenty of instances where other groups all couldn't make it for the award speech but they were never banned off of the show like this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ what is going on?

2. [+2,246, -156] Is Inkigayo insane?

3. [+484, -23] I remember even Seungri said in his award speech thanking the staff for being understanding ㅋㅋㅋ Inkigayo is being so stingy... Big Bang missed like one award speech.. and SBS has always been so nice to YG stars since 2NE1's debut stage so what's going on..

4. [+465, -23] The two members had to leave because of a MV filming, why is Inkigayo being like this ㅋㅋㅋ Are they mad that YG made up with KBS ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+463, -25] Where's all the people still calling it YG-Gayo ㅋㅋㅋ

idgi bc plenty of other groups have won and had not all members present for the presentation of the award. what's the deal with big bang??
tv report netizens #1 and #2 i totally agree with you guys

[springsky.livejournal.com]

I don't understand this. If they had a schedule to follow, what's the issue? It's not like they didn't show up for the actual performance.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

i don't really follow big bang but just from watching music core/inkigayo/music bank for a while, i feel like big bang never actually shows up anyways?

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

YG artists usually only go on inkigayo and M-Countdown. It was a huge deal last month when Bigbang went on Music Bank, it was the first time in years.

Idk enough about how Inkigayo's charts work to tell if VIPs are making much ado about nothing or if they have a point and SBS are really such vindictive bitches

The fact that they're announcing the winner on the homepage and that now BB apparently won't be appearing on Inkigayo has me leaning towards the latter.

F A I L

The best comment I've seen so far was a link to the EXO win when only 1/10 were there for a LMR win LOL

SBS and Inkigayo...can you be more obvious?

[donutism.livejournal.com]

lol what. ok then

[areebyee.livejournal.com]

Either inkigayo's run by idiots or there's something more behind the scenes. Does this mean yg's gonna boycott sbs as well then?

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

most be.

It's so weird to see YG-gayo turn against YGE. Some real ish most be going down bts.

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

sbs on a power trip. they're so ridiculous. gdtop had a legitimate reason to be absent, taeyang even apologized when the 3 received the award. sbs is bitter they weren't getting all of bigbang and had to share with other stations.

[kayliez.livejournal.com]

Hahahah

[psharp10.livejournal.com]
