This needs to stop, because it's embarrassing! They won't, of course!

Before you start typing, I'm only blaming the companies and the industry, and I don't really care about Music Shows anymore, but this is just nonsense!

THE SHOW is pretty much made for small(er) agency artists! Yet, this trend keeps happening for a long time now.

If you don't know this: On THE SHOW you can only win if you attend, but it's basically the best way to promote the lesser known artists, but nowadays, BIG4 and other mainstream artists go there as well.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this should be banned, not because I have a problem with BIG4 groups or soloists, I have multiple faves, but this is THE ONLY chance for nugus to shine, basically.

And now, look at this! This is ridiculous! The funny thing is that so many BIG4 stans call THE SHOW the nugu show, wonder what they think when they see their faves winning against actual nugus.😅

Anyway, at least ILLIT can prove if they can only talk, or they actually improved.

It's a tough situation because if only lesser-known groups are there, who's going to pull in the audience? The program includes popular groups to gain more viewership since it matters for their continuity. But I get the frustration; it's one of the few chances smaller groups have to actually win something.

This is a good point, but I'm pretty sure agencies decides if they want to promote their or not. So, I don't think this has anything to do with the ratings.

I don't think BIG4 agencies getting more money if they promote there, because we all know Idols hardly get any money for their performances.

I still think you have a problem with Big 4

If that would be the case, I wouldn't stan any BIG4 group, my friend. But technically, yes, I have a problem with BIG agencies, because all of them are toxic, disgusting companies. No exceptions!

I just think mainstream artists doesn't need to promote their, especially because there are 6 other Music Shows out there or how many. And it's not like they need more hype. For example, ILLIT sold more albums in a week than all of these groups combined in a whole month!

This is just unfair, that's all.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

Well illit is a rookie group too! They flopped this cb and they have 0 chance against seventeen, rosé, jennie and aespa on music shows!

Compared to other BIG4 groups, probably, but 99% of Kpop artists can only dream being a flop like ILLIT.

Quote from xPaulettex

maybe they could do it in a way bigger groups guest star during non comeback periods or something

THIS! I would support this!
