Will Gidle win a Grand Prize this year?

if BTS and BIGBAND massive HITS HASNT BEAT THAT SONG... They probably taking it

I think they have it in the bag? Other songs aren't close to it in performance.

Doubtful. They will get a prize, but Daesangs are doubtful.

Reasons,

#1. BTS has released and most probably BP - both fandoms massively outnumber IDLE's, so fan vote aspect is not in their favour.

#2. Judges, have repeatedly shown preference towards internationalists groups (primarily BTS) than domestic success (which BTS also has), particularly MAMA. But GDA is more balanced. So that is also doubtful in their favour.

All they got going for them is charts and data, where again BTS/BP even if behind, won't be that far behind.

It is only Gaon which I think is purely data driven, where they have a better chance. But Gaon is not considered a major award.

Like you cribbing about the 2nd Gen IU curbing new acts, it is possible that 3rd Gen BTS would also be curbing the new acts.

Gidle is in a odd position

Like groups from cube have won daesang before so it's not imposible for another to do that but they aren't as big as big4 groups bc that weight too(*money*)

At this rate they might take gaon N1 yearly anywyas

they will go to an award show and win a participation award cz their company is way too small

How are big companies going to rig this? It's right in your face and will be embarrassing. They should win SOTY daesang somewhere at least.

If daesangs are so company dependent, then some fandoms should refrain from using them as a flex for their faves.

even if nothing gets *as* successful as tomboy g idle still won’t get the daesang and someone else *cough cough in the big 4 cough cough* that’s the closest to having something as successful will get it.

I am genuinely shitting myself for them! I sincerely hope they win. A point for non big 4 groups!

Unless Blackpink comeback and completely destroys the charts, then I would say Idle has a good shot. Anything less and Knetz will definitely call out award shows for rigging.

Quote from WhyKnock

However, Cube is a weak company, and traditionally grand prizes were only given to the major companies.

Only Melon Awards gave Beast (now Highlight) a Grand Prize when it was not a major award.

Why are you acting like HYBE was always a big company??? BTS made that company what it is now. It wasn't even as big as Cube is now when BTS won their first daesangs.

They won 2 daesangs in 2016. They became the first ever "non Big 3" artist to win MAMA Artist of the Year then.

I mean it is just June.

We could get bigger hits.

In my perfect imaginary world Idle will win a daesang and Soyeon producer of the year

Quote from WhyKnock

2010

2am, then under Big Hit, won a Grand Prize.

And if considering non-Groups, your Senior Singer won in 2011.

I hope they win given the success the song has
