I'm not even kidding. I never liked MAMA or MMA, both are crap, and it's about popularity anyway, but back in the day, when a popular artist won, you knew they deserve it, because they actually released a good song or album etc!
But now, it's enough to be popular on Tiktok!
Here are the full list of the winners: 2024 MAMA Awards - Wikipedia
I mean, what the hell was this IU and Taeyeon snub? IU only won "The Best Female Artist" and some stupid fan vote that 19 other Idol won as well, but Taeyeon didn't win a single Award!
How can you give IU "The Best Female Artist" Award, and nominate Taeyeon for that, but don't nominate them for AOTY, and don't give IU the SOTY, the Best MV and Best Vocal?
Don't get me wrong, I love Aespa, but there's no way in hell, Supernova is a better song than Love Wins All, and Armageddon is a better MV than LWA! Absolute JOKE!

The Best Vocal should've given to Taeyeon or IU, not only because they did a fantastic performance, but their songs ruled the charts for months! But then again, MAMA is now an ATTENDANCE Award! Also, Teayeon should've won the Best OST as well, but everyone knew Crush will win, because Queen of Tears was a massive success!

And I didn't mention the other winners, like:
I love Gidle, but come on: RV is clear or Davichi!
I don't even understand this list, like at all: No, I wouldn't nominate my fave Hwasa, Sunmi or Yuqi either!
To put simply: PAY TO WIN AWARD!
The actual list should've been like this:
Youngji and DO were robbed, like for real! At least give them one of these!
I will say one thing, before fandoms losing their shit. Mnet and Melon HAVE TO rename these Award categories to:
"Best Charting Dance Performance", "Best Charting Vocal Performance", "Best Charting Album and Song", because if they do that, no one would complain!
