this was so boring i only got as far as the rookie award announcement

hong jinyoung looked soo good on the red carpet omg. why did irene look so pissed lmao and when they were tryna hand her the mic she was like ??

red velvets performance was so good and that dance break, irene killed it i loved the concept too

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

didn't even watch it, the rookie award announcement wasn't a surprise to me but I'm still upset about it.

[omgcats.livejournal.com]

bts killed their performance and they won for best dance (obligatory "fuck you mama2k15"), so i'm happy.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for gayos tbh, this was an amazing snoozefest like barely anyone showed up :\

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

#justiceformissa

it's ridiculous that one of the biggest selling singles of the year (that was the biggest selling single by a female act until a couple months ago until they were surpassed, but they still are holding the 3rd position, and that with no fucking promo at all) didn't win shit.

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

the dumb dumb dance break omfg red velvet delivering yet again for the end of the year awards congrats!!!!!!

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

bangtan killed it! a well deserved win (cough mama). the clothing though... they've been looking so good on stage this year and then award season comes around and we get that. they better not pull the same at the mama's because i'm still not over how they wronged yoongi last year, sigh. their amazing performance luckily made up for it.

big bang was just amazing. they are such a joy to watch on stage. they were practically holding their own little concert and i wasn't bothered by it one bit. during the whole performance i was like 'watch them trow in fantastic baby' and when they did just laughed very hard.

i also enjoyed monsta x (poor things were so confused when they win, bless them), gfriend (my first performance of them) and eunji's solo. she sounded so good!

[natywentz.livejournal.com]

fantastic baby again? lol

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

it's kinda like how Gee will be performed whenever GG are the headliners of anything. It's the song that get's most people hyped bc it's the most successful/well-known even if you and the group are so over performing it.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Just glad Sunggyu won something. I personally loved his album, would have been saddened he doesn't get an award for it.

Big Bang doing a mini concert and I can't even say it bothered me. They were there to set has the stage on fire and did not disappoint.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

It was all really predictable but I think the winners are well selected this year in general. At first I didn't understand why they gave EXO the "album of the year" award if BB as a whole sold way more than EXO as a whole, but it seems that they only counted M as an album and not the full MADE series, so in that sense Exodus sold more than just M.

Also, I love Seventeen but stans should stop saying that iKON robbed their award when the criteria is 70% digital 30% votes. Seventeen barely cracked top 100 on melon so nobody expected them to win a digital award.

What's the difference between "other" and the rest of nominees?

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

I wanted Seventeen to win ngl, thought they deserved it eventhough I really only have a passing interest in them. But watching the show tonight actually made me realise just how many people liked iKon. It never registered before

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

song of the year-bang bang bang



Since it obviously was going to be big bang regardless at least let it be for their good song i.e. loser and yas @ red velvet I loved their performance although I wished they performed ICC too and yoona looked ethereal as always but why did they give her a basket of bread too lol

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

Bang Bang Bang had more impact in general though, it's used/sung everywhere.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

OP is the other based on the voting or did they list that somewhere?

So that Big Bang Melon Concert was pretty fun! Congrats to iKON and Girlfriend for their rookie awards! I enjoyed Winner glomping iKON but particularly Hanbin and Seungyoon

I was cackling when EXID and MonstaX got their awards and they were like WTF? Most stages were disappointing or messy though. Why was EXID featuring for a bboy group?

LOL...also did ya'll see how they shifted the Hot Trend Award to focus on the shows instead of the actual songs that were nominated (you ain't slick Melon LOL)

Did anyone see them give a bread basket to Yoona? What was that about?

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Yes, the breadbasket thing was so random lmao. I don't even think SONE's know. Twitter was just making fun of it.

[natywentz.livejournal.com]

why i like bang bang bang so much?...lol

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

omg its kinda amazing sunggyu won something but not infinite.
i really enjoyed gfriend and red velvet stages tbh.
winner presenting the awards for the rookies was fun too..they were really natural at this.

[maghishaw.livejournal.com]

omg i'm trying to watch the if you performance but bb singing is tragic wtf why is top singing, fucking gd what is wrong with your throat, please stuck with shouting, ugh daesung, even you, this is tragic in so many levels does bb has one decent singer?

[omgcats.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure daesung has something terribly wrong with his throat (nodules on his vocal cords, maybe). he sounded like he was in pain.

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

Congrats to winners...

BigBang <3 iKON <3 and damn did Hyukoh have me watching that performance and not blinking....


I would have enjoyed BTS's performance more if not for those fugly ass clothes....
RedVelvet and GFriend were good.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

i'm ok with those wins. the show was boring but at least bts won best dance and gfriend won best new female artist :) big bang's performances were great too. them winning song of the year is pretty weird to me though. but it might have been more popular in korea than among ifans, I wouldn't know tbh

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

When I was in Korea this summer Bangx3 was everywhere tbh lol.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

congrats to all the winners! (even if everything was very predictable, lmao.)

it's gonna be interesting seeing the contrast between this and the mamas considering, like..., international fans weren't able to vote for this show but they are the mamas and the weight of the final voting decision for this was higher / more important than the final voting results for the mamas will be. (which is why the fandom reaction when artists / groups that won in voting don't end up winning at the mamas is gonna be all the more messy.)

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I think there will be more variety of winners in the MAMAs since the criteria for most of categories is way more equally distributed except album of the year that counts 50% physical sales so it's obviously gonna go to EXO lol.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

GFriend ! Baek Ahyeon ! Red Velvet !
Of course BIG BANG dominated but there are some good points still :) I'll check the performances later

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

bangtan killed it, i didn't even blink during the intro!! i don't really like the remixed version of i need u, but i was still dead.
red velvet killed it too, i loved every second of their stage. that dance break, thank you! can we talk about how good my bb seulgi looked ahem
loved hyukoh and exid looked amazing! looking forward to their comeback more than ever

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

monsta x were so cute when they won, they had no idea what was happening/what they were doing.

bangtan's thing with the lights was so cool!!! those outfits tho... they looked like they couldn't move in them lol. thank god they won, they deserve a dance award sfm. their choreo is some of the best in kpop.

who was it that fell over in my type??? omg. i still hate rhythm ta, the rock ver was meh.

gfriend <3333 + yuju won the ost award too. eunha tearing up :/ bless her.

loved rv's perf, the dance break was awesome and irene killed it. seulgi sounded so good as well. my queen!!!

i love hyukoh and i love his eyebrows. both their stages were really good.

overall it was kind of boring bc no one bothered to come bc they knew they weren't gonna win lol. i'm sort of confused why seo kang joon was chosen as mc, i didn't realise he was that popular?? fantagio must have ties with loen or smth.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

OP there is a more HD version of Monsta X's performance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEcQEFtRKmI&feature=iv&src_vid=1rI_1emjUiQ&annotation_id=annotation_4169710401

goddamn I think I'm a fan now >> I'm actually so upset IM's mic wasn't working I love his raps live he sounds so adorable also Seungri jamming to Hero was everything I need fancams of all the idol interactions because Melon did nothing this year which was disappointing as fuck

Also I would like to ask the rest of omona whether or not they think BI and IM look kinda similar??? Like I would totally believe that IM is BI's older brother their face structure and whatnot look so alike :0

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

holy shit, i just realized that i.m is older than b.i.he just seems so young to me for some reason. i really got into monsta x like two days after seeing the mv for hero. i've watched a few clips of them and they are an adorable bunch. and i can definitely see the resemblance! i.m always looked like someone else to me but i could never place it.

[maebyfunke.livejournal.com]

well.... yay for BTS lol

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Also...BTS needs to fire their stylist like yesterday.

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

they've been looking so good all year and then we get those outfits... then again their stylist looks like this so i'd keep him around for a little bit longer (for professional reasons of course)

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

too much big bang

slay at half of sistar and yoona showing up just to pick up their awards and judge everyone else like the royalty they are

proud of exid for their 1 award even if its meaningless lol

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

@BB - like their perfs was nice in a gave me nice vibes way, but l the only member who was able to combine having his shit together/actuallybe there for it/pull it off vocally was the guy who literally ran away from volcano a moment ago lol (probbly constant touring wore them off) I applaud makane, especially when GD's parts in If you were starting, like nope, please don't sing again, never;P
I'm jusy happy that Exid was there, like who would have thought 1,5 year ago, those girls really came a long way

[kar0n.livejournal.com]

Omg Loco Sunggyu and BTS so happy for them
