Next Level deserves SOTY

For reallll. The impact it has is INSANE!!!

that's insane

Huge. Congrats.

Amazing. Congrats to aespa.

Definitly the biggest hit by idols this year. (Domestic)

Soty come over

If next level doesn't get soty it'll be rigged, well mama is already a rigged award show anyway but still.

MAMA isn't the only awards show that gives out an SOTY daesang lol

Now ppl will say bugs & genie are irrelevant

does k-award shows only base their data on korean charts/gaon?

They deserve atleast 1 soty this year ( unless some dynamite level hit releases which honestly does not seem possible)

I'm fully on board with this winning SOTY this year.

Congrats!

My god they surpassed queen IU!? Truly amazing. Congrats girlies on your first national hit

Obviously the Korean public favors Aespa more than IU

I hear Aespa played in all malls and shops, I see Aespa faces all over TV and posters on the streets, a lot of dancers are covering Next Level on Hongdae, even Korean grandmas are talking about Aespa, everyone is doing the Next Level dance

At least in the digital world

Do you live in korea if you don't mind me asking

Well done Aespa they're doing so great

It is the biggest idol song this year. Anyone denies it is illusions.

For SOTY, unless it is Celebrity, NL is the righteous winner. I hope the year end award would be fair to them.

Celebrity is snatching SOTY at MMA and GMA. I’m not sure about GDA since they seem to change the criteria to be more fair to songs with less time of tracking.

AAA is whoever attends or the show decides to give the award and MAMA the criteria takes into consideration data such as music video views, album sales, fan voting and judges voting and Aespa is not leading in the first 3 which is a disadvantage already.

I hope NL wins at least one SOTY but if it doesn’t win I’m not going to get mad since the competition is not easy at all.

Good, finally you admitted it

so it's not SM paying ads and bots to stream the song right ? (like you said before ):-D

I can't believe you guys didn't get this post. He is being sarcastic here. He is throwing shade and mocking the notion that aespa is more popular than iu. He has always been anti aespa. What make you think that has change?

Well MAMA considers physical sales, so you can basically say goodbye to MAMA soty.

that is next level

Now im getting the realization of the massive disservice SM did to Next Level by making it a digital release 😭

Those are always screwed over, I think Celebrity will get the bonus of having physicals added on because it's a pre-release to LILAC. Now if Next Level is included on aespa's first album, then they'll have a small shot. But as of right now, I wouldn't be too hopeful.

It is kind of in a curious situation since it is a remake of a Fast and Furious track.

When did that happen? Damn, I never knew that

This is the first Grand Prize SM has a shot over since 2017 so it will probably win at MAMA, if the Senior Singer does not show up (She has not shown up there since her Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014).

Display Spoiler

im joking pls

KPop's Senior Singer's authority is being challenged seriously by aespa, who might become the rival against BTS.
