Congrats to everyone.

As a fan, I’m happy for Rosé and Jennie, of course, but what excites me even more is seeing them take on bigger solo stages outside of BP.

Gaining solo experience is crucial for growth it helps them understand their strengths and improve. Festivals and live bands are perfect for that.

Personally, group stages don’t offer much artistic or musical growth, but their solo performances clearly show total freedom and control over their work.

BP no daesang, but 3 already have daesang as soloists

And yes, noise music groups (BB, BP and SKZ) winning in the big year of 2025/26

And one about to win a grammy

3? I thought only Rose and Jennie won a Daesang.

No offense to the actual Korean Taylor Swift, but Jennie should win that Grammy, but that's just my opinion. 🤣

Lil' Jen's album was more versatile.

Anyway, 2026 will be the new 2016! All the 2nd and 3rd gen groups are coming back to make it interesting after a borefest 2025.

Jisoo won one too

This isn't for music, tho, and I'm pretty sure it's a full-on fan voting poll something like Gallup with awards.

It's kinda like that Asian Artists Award with music, film and shows. There are too many Daesangs these days. For me, it's the same 4 or 5.

MAMA, MMA, GD (not that GD🤣), Circle, and KMA. The Korean Music Awards is still the best imo.

But it's a daesang

True, but it's like Tesco Daesang. But we can give her flowers.

Pun intended.

Quote from monalisalove

It was a big year for her

Yeah, everyone can smell the roses. Okay enough daddy jokes.

I'm okay with anyone to win between the two

I don't really care about awards, tbh. Music or Film, both are meaningless these days. It's either just a political madness or just a popularity award.

Grammys, MTV, Golden Globes (it's basically a laughingstock for years), EMMYS, and Oscars are a joke.

BAFTA and some art movie awards like CANNES are still meaningful, but that's all.

Any awarding events are meaningless until their faves win

Not for me, I never moan about the winner if they actually deserve it. That's why I don't say anything about Jennie winning Awards for her album. It wasn't the best, not even close to that, but it wasn't bad, it was a decent and versatile album.
