These are the only awards they won but they didn't send an acceptance speech video for either of them. Legends, nevertheless. Also, Pdogg won Best Composer.

I'd like to say this was the last awards show for last year but there are still the Korean Music Awards where BTS are nominated in 4 categories.

Congrats to them and all the other winners.
This award show is based purely on sales, right?

i know for sure that the quarter album awards are from physical sales

congrats. 2017 was their year and 2018 will be too.

mess @ gaon though. i'm so glad i didn't stream bc i'd be pissed at the disrespect. i wish pdogg could've accepted their wins at least.

tl;dr - gaon being petty.
displayed a few seconds each for their respective awards
no mc introduction for bts. as if verbally acknowledging bts was just too much for gaon
no acceptance video (or pdogg accepting it for them)

other arists who didn't attend didn't receive this kind of treatment

lmao gaon can stay bitter wtaf

lol if those awards weren't based on sales and nobody else even came close to BTS, Gaon made no secret of the fact that they wouldn't have awarded them at all...they must have been seriously mad that they didn't attend.
