great post OP!
sad that I.O.I. didnt win rookie of the year, hopefully they get that one at the MAMA or gayos

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

also who in the world is bewhy, never heard of him before

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

SEVENTEEN'S PERFORMANCE WAS SO GOOD I'M A PROPER STAN AGAIN
jeonghan dancing in the beginning, oooh boy i could not believe it
very nice is such a great performance song and the remix of it was amazing, i am literally in diss bee leaf at how good their performance was
give their stylist a raise too

i miss yeri :( i hope all of the girls are doing okay, especially seulgi and yeri because of the accident. it's so worrisome that yeri is still taking a break but if it means she's getting the rest (and hopefully help) she needs then i'm all for it

why did i get into ioi literally a month before they disband, i am so sad but i love them

exo's performance was...well. i liked all the short performances of growl/overdose/cmb and the short solos! sehun's dancing here rly bothered me tbh idk why but i couldnt stand watching him in these perfs. but good god the vocals, what the fuck happened? they ALL sounded bad, even jongdae did. like were they not just sitting for like an hr before the performance? did they all do a quick lap around the venue before hopping on stage? even jd sounded bad, what WAS that. the dancing was on point tho and i was so hype for monster so i guess that makes it ok for me LMAO

[shocko-o.livejournal.com]

me too :( ioi variety and bts clips are cute to watch when i need to kill time.

[elisaorange.livejournal.com]

Glad to see that even though Block B wasn't there, Kyung and Zico represented with nominations/wins~

[shocko-o.livejournal.com]

It's too bad I.O.I. doesn't perform Crush more often.

gfriend's lives are on point :o

Ben's OST is one of my favorite songs of the year

that's some nice formatting OP

[pinklunacy.livejournal.com]

Congrats to all the winners. I'm really happy for BTS (!!!), Twice and BLACKPINK. I really didn't expect BTS to get any Daesang with EXO in the competition tbh, and esp not for Young Forever, but I'm so happy they did and this is so truly deserved. The whole HYYH serie was such a masterpiece and I'm so happy it got recognized. Also bless their stage. Fire is such a party banger.

Tbh, I'm nicely surprised to see some thinking and efforts were put in most of these stages! Seventeen's entire intro was amazing (Jun's solo dance omg)

Mamamoo's stage was really good too, these queens. Hwasa is such a boss. Her charisma and stage presence are off the charts.

[haroobommi.livejournal.com]

#justiceforDean #justiceforWhySoLonely
but yas @ my Mamamoo
also truly amazing how far bts has come

[noreal99.livejournal.com]

I love the shocked faces coming from BTS when they announced they won Album of the Year. And J-Hope and Jin crying, was everything. I'm so happy for BTS.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

gfriend winning best dance is well-deserved! they were great! ioi did well too but i feel like they lacked a bit of their usual energy.

in a just world seventeen would win all performance-related awards but alas!!

the three highlights of this show tbh

[lucyownsjoaquin.livejournal.com]

this was boring

[kashchanocchi.livejournal.com]

Best R&B/Soul: Dream??? Really? lol I guess

[bandz.livejournal.com]

GFriend and IOI slayed

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

yay exo <3

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

NOT Red Velvet ignoring 'one of those nights' LMAO

I wish BTS or Wonder Girls had won more but I can't be too too mad IMO. BTS did so well and LMAO at V doing IOI's dance!

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

Kyungsoo dancing to TT was my favorite part of the show lol.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

LMAO! Look at this awkward child. Bless him.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

wasn't actually expecting bts to win anything because of exo's dominance but they completely deserve at least something, so i'm sooooo happy for them :') jin bb crying just tugs at my heart

watching red velvet ot4 like this is surreal. the changed choreo and redistributed lines are just so...natural?? idk i love yeri but ot4 feels like a whole too.

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

surprised ioi didn't win anything, thought they were huge, and sucks since they're breaking apart soon so it would have been nice to have an award.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

thanks for making this post OP!! <3

I love loved the Blackpink performances. They looked stunning!

SEVENTEEN had me freaking out and hyperventilating!! I thought I was ready for #dark_seventeen but i'm NOT!!

[filmgoesround.livejournal.com]

every time exo performs, i get reminded why baekhyun is such a bias wrecker. he's seriously the strongest overall performer in the group.

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

mte, i dont even like baekhyun but i cant stop focusing at him when he perform.

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

first of all YES BOLBBALGAN4 WON SOMETHING (this week i've just been watching fight day performances over and over like im in love). they really slayed the charts (and galaxy is still on melon top 10!!!). i'm so happy as a fan honestly.

i laughed at jeonghan performing a dance solo (he's good at dancing but lol i would have expected another perf team member). YES at a jun solo though! and seventeen showing again why they're one of the best performance groups in the industry - can't wait to see what they bring to mama!!

i actually usually don't care about the awards parts (makes life less stressful lol) - but besides bolbbalgan4's win - seeing bts so shocked at their album win and then nayeon tearing up when they won song of the year was really nice and makes me so proud. cheer up was really song of the year imo (shashasha impact!!) and how much the hyyh era helped bts's popularity was incredible to see. i just hope the witchhunt against bts and to a lesser extent twice stop cause i've seen comments and there are alot of pressed people out there like really you guys give it a month and you won't even remember this tbh... imo this is why i don't care about awards lol

congrats to everyone!!

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

Gfriend always takes me to a magic place of sparkles and fairies and butterflies and fierce dancing \o/ I love them.

MAMAMOO and those fabulous guys, though, they were all amazing...Is it wishful thinking on my part to think that was an implicit message of support to the lgbtq community? Especially with those lyrics, "you're the best," it's too perfect not to be intentional. Not to mention everything about Mamamoo screams gay icon.

[pastelpinklace.livejournal.com]

My BTS Kings rightfully won album of the year that album was perfection

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

yeah. audio is pretty on point the whole show. cant blame it.

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Will never understand Seventeen not winning a dance-related award, like????
That being said, their performance was AMAZING and I thought it was the best of the whole show. The intro was really cool~

[reader17.livejournal.com]

I loved all of the stages! Sechskies being on stage was amazing. I loved how everyone was up and waving their lightsticks. It didn't matter which fandom they were showing respect to an older group that deserved it.

I am so surprised and happy that BTS won album of the year. They deserved it and I loved their reactions you could tell they didn't think they had won when they announced it. I don't know why but I had tears in my eyes when I saw the clip of them up there, and half of them were crying!

Seventeen loved their intro it was good!
