Would it have been better for SKZ to receive a MAMA Grand Prize instead of a concert at Manila? 11

Yes, it is sad that JYP is more concerned about immediate profits than the artists' prestige (1) 9%

No, money is money. Follow the money. (10) 91%
Now SKZ has a concert at Manila.
Frankly speaking, a MAMA Grand Prize would have been more important than a concert in Philippines.
The Artist of the Year prize went to SVT, which was given two Grand Prizes, unusual for an act not considered to be world shaking. aespa received a similar treatment a certain 1,345 years received from MAMA 10 years ago, being cheated of the crown prize of AotY.
However I personally think if SKZ had bothered to show up at the award it would have received it since I don't think SVT did that well to win 2 Grand Prizes.
JYP decided to make some concert income instead of sending SKZ to win JYPE's first MAMA grand prize since Twice's Signal (song of the year, 2017, because the Senior Singer is ineligible from receiving a Grand Prize from MAMA for the rest of her life) which would have captivated the entire world.
Which seems to be another short sighted decision JYP made, which is not the first time he had done something like this.
Even more unforgiving is JYP himself showed up at the MAMA
and received a Lifetime Achievement Award, while robbing SKZ the chance to win a Grand Prize!
