People sob when they win a Daesang at MAMA, and I guess it's the artists themselves who show an award show's prestige and legitimacy... Look at how not a single member cried after winning this Daesang lol. But then again, not every idol can attend MAMA or the Melon Music Awards, and there are teams that treasure every single stage they get, so it's hard to just say all award shows should be abolished.

They don't give it based on results, and even after charging people to vote, they don't follow the vote results either. KGMA just hands awards out however they want, so does winning one even mean anything? If they're going to do whatever they want, they shouldn't charge for voting.

These reactions are hilarious. Since when did award shows have any legitimacy? Lmaoooo there aren't exactly just one or two award shows, so just enjoy it, ffs.
