EXO and BTS are literally clapping for one another, when they go up there and claim themselves their respective awards, and you armies and EXOLs are still whining over something so fucking trivial. How about ya'll just shut the fuck up and enjoy the show instead. Congratulations to the winners, meanwhile.

First. GDA sarks. look at the cheap seats and venue. 2nd, GDA is boring especially recent years especially splitted to 2 days. cant c other idols reactions and interactions. 3rd, GDA quality dropped like batshyt. in the past, it's all about music. now it's 100% a popularity award, not quality of music and talent. 4th, look at history winners and it's almost always male group. just shows how fangirls are typically fanatic to their oppas (girls are emotional creature). it's not even fair to female groups. 5th, no serious music fans will giv crap to these award shows tbh. it's really another "kpop festival". These awards seemed to lost their meanings. seemed like they just go up and receive them casually. DB5k was so emotional when they won their award back in 2006-7. lastly, it's humiliating to other groups other than bts and exo. other groups got almost no cheer becuz these immature fans are not mature enough to at least cheer for other groups when they introduce themselves. their mindset, "i must support my oppa, i cant cheer/betray my idols". big disrespect.
