Article: EXO has surpassed Seo Taiji... wins daesang for three consecutive years at Seoul Music Awards

Source: Star News via Nate

1. [+649, -68] As if they've surpassed Seo Taiji... EXO couldn't even hold a candle to HOT's old fame either. These are people whose comebacks and concerts were announced on the 9 pm news circuits back when singers were seen as nothing but lowly entertainers.

2. [+617, -77] Honestly, music daesangs mean nothing nowadays ㅋㅋㅋ you win one as long as you have a lot of fans

3. [+601, -81] Surpass what? How dare you bring Seo Taiji into this

4. [+50, -9] If EXO disbands, do they even have one member who has the amount of influence as Seo Taiji does?

5. [+49, -11] Surpass Seo Taiji? ㅋㅋㅋ The man who was able to bring all of the runaway teens back home with one song? Go tell EXO to go back to the zoo and growl away ㅋㅋ

6. [+45, -9] EXO is not like Busker who created a song to be remembered for generations... they won based solely off of their agency's power with a song that can be heard from anyone else ㅋㅋㅋ and you dare compare them to Seo Taiji? ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+41, -11] They call themselves singers but they win based off of fandom power and not their musicality...

8. [+39, -8] What a joke ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't understand.. EXO??? Did they even promote in our country? Do they even have a good song??? What are the standards for picking them???? I don't hate or love them but what else do they have other than 'Growl'????? How are they winning daesang? And for consecutive years at that???????

9. [+36, -3] Shouldn't Big Bang have won this award? I don't remember a single EXO song other than 'Growl'

10. [+33, -0] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Source: Sports Seoul via Naver

1. [+4,426, -1,217] Good job running as far as you have come, congratulations on the daesang EXO!

2. [+2,406, -546] Congratulations to EXO for winning daesang 3 years in a row and to the other singers as well

3. [+4,785, -1,357] Congratulations on your three awards today and for being the first singer to win daesang for 3 years in a row. You've suffered coming this far but as a fan it's been happy all along. Let's be happy with us fans in 2016 too, let's love EXO!!

4. [+3,132, -823] Congratulations

5. [+1,096, -191] The crowd went wild for them, I had to turn down my volume

6. [+1,018, -186] Thank you so much to the Seoul Music Awards for allowing EXO to write history by being the first daesang winners for 3 years ㅠㅠ so proud of EXO

7. [+937, -162] 3 consecutive years... amazing. Congratulations!

8. [+775, -109] Congratulations to EXO for going down in history ㅜㅜㅜ Let's make it 4 consecutive years

10. [+809, -126] EXO congratulations on 3 consecutive years of daesangs~~~♥

Article: EXO wins Hallyu Special Award, "Thank you to the EXO-L all over the world"

Source: TV Daily via Nate

1. [+362, -28] So they let the Hallyu special award winner go up to receive this award and yet the winner of a popularity award that fans had to pay to vote for wasn't even invited to the event. Yup, this awards ceremony has no prestige, just admit it. Congratulations to EXO though~

2. [+298, -36] Lay didn't even attend the awards ceremony, how is this any different from him straight up leaving the group? He's another Chinese, just like the rest of them ㅡㅡ Fans should just admit it already

3. [+155, -39] Look, the kid next to him is so cold he's wearing a cap on his head

4. [+45, -28] SM Music Awards

5. [+29, -4] Isn't it ridiculous that the winner of a paid popularity vote award was given 2 seconds of screentime through a video? It's unsettling to watch this power play at work.

6. [+24, -32] I don't think it's fair to call this an SM Music Awards ceremony just because SM singers are receiving awards. What are SM singers supposed to do then? Not exist?

7. [+20, -13] SM trash

8. [+18, -15] All I remember is them growling..... is the Korean music industry on a decline...

9. [+17, -10] What a joke, what "fans all over the world"? You mean 80% of your international fanbase being Chinese and 20% from SEA?

10. [+15, -9] Am I the only one who has never heard an EXO song yet...

baek was sf pretty tonight, i miss his eyeliner. on the other hand, i hate chen's haircut with a passion and he was doing the most in the performances lol bless him. kai was so cute when they made him do the pirouette. there was so much 2ho tonight and kai touching sehun's butt on stage
lol @ the bottle tower... children

those netizens are salty as fuck jesus chill out
He's another Chinese, just like the rest of them this one especially needs a kick to the face

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

Sekai gives me so much life, this picture will make me immortal!!!1

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

sehun's ass has an orbit of its own

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

2ho was giving me life. They're totally coming for that Taekai bff crown.

[classicfire.livejournal.com]

Oh Vixx was there too. Got to check out some of these performances.

Suho and Kai looking so handsome and cute Chen with that smile of his

[novnariel.livejournal.com]

Yep, Vixx got Bonsang too.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

oh my godd the hell happened to the natizens? :00 sureexo has it easier than a lot of groups in certain ways but they are working just as hard?? they're just as talented? their songs are (usually lmao) really good?? the industry is unfair as hell, what else is new

i'm not exactly sure what a daesang is (i also don't really know what that award bts won is and i'm their fan lol) but congrats to exo. all that hate is unnecessary >.>

[yw7.livejournal.com]

they looked good, sounded good, and had fun. it was nice to see. happy birthday, king kai!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

The EXO reign just won't let up! Keep seething netz :)

They looked so happy today, I feel blessed.
Those videos of them in the audience cheering on Chanyeol were super cute, they seemed to have a lot of fun.

The performace was great, it's amazing how much they change when they're not exhausted. I love it when they wear those tight jeans ngl.

I'm so proud of them, SLAY! <33333

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Lmao PCY is me on birthdays

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

my sis is just like pcy omg

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

kai is me i love him

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Especially when music taste is mostly subjective. I mean, the best selling song this year is Bangx3 and while it's a catchy, party song I personally don't see the "musicality" either.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

hmmmm those comments though....


ANYWAYS CONGRATS BOYS. WELL DESERVED. YOU'VE WORKED HARD.

[misswaldorf.livejournal.com]

lol netizen!
Another day another new record for my babies. Congrats boys!!
Birthday boy always look hot af even when he's probably half dead. I cant. I need 2 cancel myself!

r.i.p chen's hair

[nekosogi.livejournal.com]

Not here for the racist comments at all. Leave Xing alone... -_- This comment though:

But seriously LOL who's the hairdresser at SM who hates him... :c Baek looked so cute though buuu ;w;

[staaan.livejournal.com]

yaaaasss netizens can stay salty as always. no one can deny how hard the boys work and they've released some rly good music so

this makes me kinda emotional bc i remember the days when ppl would call exo flops and a disappointment to sm. that was before growl ofc lol

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I love how according to netizens these awards are only important when their faves are winning, otherwise they're "meaningless". Regardless if they like them or not, it's undeniable that they're really popular and their album sales and fandom power are unbeatable by now so until another group surpass them in that regard, they're gonna keep winning and they can stay salty.

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

Love D.O destroying the bottle tower... and Kai getting startled. XD

My other fave moment was Suho dragging Kaibaek from the cameras' path when they got too hyped

IM SCREAMING EXO GOT TOO EXCITED AND LEADER SUHO HAD TO STEP IN AND PULL THEM BACK AND AWAY FROM THE CAMERA RIP pic.twitter.com/aAUJatdBaS (https://t.co/aAUJatdBaS)

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

loool this is so cute. he uses baekhyun as a human shield to push sehun back too. he's a good dad

[kamoku-ayame.livejournal.com]

LOL he's an embarrassing dad at times but I don't know what exo would do without suho

[klauses.livejournal.com]

lmao they'd be so lost without him

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

haha this was hilarious

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

lmao what performance was this from?

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

Think it was during Chanyeol's performance with MFBTY

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

you're right, ty!

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

These people only want to acknowledge how useless these awards are when someone they don't like wins and even worse is that they claim they're useless...but say someone else should've won. RIP.

All I got from this is Ailee is adorable.

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

kyungsoo knocking down those bottles lmao.
V gropping Baekhyun's butt is my favorite part of the night.



Edit: jfc that's huge.

best comment here

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

perfect gif, they all look so good, and yeri is very pretty
yeah they keep winning only because of their fan base but i'm ok with that. it's amazing enough to keep your fans buying varieties of albums for you in consecutive years. congrats boyyyyysss

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

oh god, xiumin's haircut...

jongin looks gorgeous as usual

I wonder how long they can keep this sort of success up. Growl is still their biggest hit...this next promotional cycle will be crucial in determining if they're going to have some real longevity.

My primary wish is that they could get some proper time off, though.

[cinnabun11.livejournal.com]

those demonic fanchants are terrifying
