Day6... AND Twice, unless they missed the deadline?

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

idk about day6 but twice missed the deadline

[skidadler.livejournal.com]

Didn't Day6 debut before ikon? I don't know what the criteria for this is unless it's just debuting by a certain date.

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

oh ok then theyre eligible. maybe it's their lack of promotions/media play? i'm not sure

[katzenlibrary.livejournal.com]

I'm most confused about UP10TION being in there instead of Day6. Maybe they're more successful than I thought...

gfriend needs to win this

If we count not only digital sales but also general impact in the public, it'll should totally go to Gfriend.

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

anything but gfriend winning this wouldn't make sense.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Are these the numbers of votes? GFriend is so high, omg. I wish they win.
Are they going to split the rookie award between boys and girls? Given that they have parity.

Everyone from the big industries are there, except Day6...
Twice missed the deadline, I guess they'll get in line for the rookie award next year? Lovelyz and Sonamoo technically debuted in 2014... but it was late december. Idk

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

just like how twice will qualify for next year, sonamoo and lovelyz are nominated this year bc they debuted around the start of the eligibility date for this year

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

dia :( they mightve debuted too late i guess

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I checked, they officially debuted one day before iKon dropped their first song, so they should have been there :(

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I like more Lovelyz, Oh My Girl and CLC than GFriend, but I feel like GF deserves it more.

[kaypukis.livejournal.com]

where is day6??
but yeah, Gfriend & iKoN is the only relevant rookies in term of digital sales & netizen recognition..

bet iKoN would win this, even though i prefer Gfriend to win..

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

gfriend! i watched their random play dance and their synchronization is amazing

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

70% digital sales and 30% votes so probably iKON even though GFriend did really well too. If they split it by gender they are the winners

I like iKON's album so go forth and win kids

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure ikon is gonna win, so hopefully their album is good because tbh i don't think they're that deserving artistically as of now.

[tsubaki874.livejournal.com]

Playback isn't on here so my vote goes to GFriend

[pbutterlion.livejournal.com]

its a shame twice didnt make it bc they're the superior rookie group this year.

[katzenlibrary.livejournal.com]

They'll be in the running next year, though!

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

based on the quality of the releases: Oh My Girl >>>>>>>> the rest
it's hilarious that small agencies delivered so much better debuts than the big ones this year though

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

iKON will hopefully win. They deserve it, not just because of the hard work they put in, but because despite YG's fuck ups their digital and physical sales are the best out of all the rookies. Their album is really good (well half album that is). It's cohesive, it's broad in genre for basically a mini, the production is A+ and most importantly experienced longevity despite all the strong releases. Hoping Korean ikonic can make this happen /fingers crossed/.

iKON >>>>>>>>>>>>>

[bmo.livejournal.com]

ikon's physical sales are not the best out of all the rookies though.

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

I didn't say highest in number I said best as in increasing the fastest and it's only been 3 weeks. Of course other groups have more in numbers but iKON dropped an album on Oct. 1 and already surpasses 30k sales while some of the groups they're grouped with are on the list with comebacks and other released their albums before iKON did.

[pero, like (from livejournal.com)]

MyB, Dia & Playback aren't even on the list, what even is the POINT
Anyways I know iKON & GFriend will win, but I want UP10TION & Sonamoo to the win since they were the only rookies to impress me this year.
Monsta X & CLC have surprisingly good discographies though.

day6 and gsoul D:

CLC and Oh My Girl are my favorites this year.

[ginaaajae.livejournal.com]

I like gfriend too, but Seventeen is just too full of talents and charms

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

gfriend, seventeen, oh my girl, clc, up10tion! i love them all so much, i hope any of them win, lol.

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

I love CLC, Oh My Girl and Gfriend!

Gfriend are the most popular but i think that OMG deserves all the rookie awards after Closer.

Edit: a boyband is going to win anyways (cause crazy fangirls)
