This is not any type of drag the opposite actually because their dominance is really strong and they excel every criteria such as physical sales, digitals, views and fandom votes that makes award winners predictable since 2018.
Them not dropping an album in 2021 have open discussions about that category, something that I barely see because every year is always Song of the year discussions all over and all over again.
If they were out award shows would be so unpredictable, we would have no idea who can win because overall numbers are super close once you take them out.
For artist of the year who will win? If we take BTS out the overall numbers are super close.
Only Melon Music Awards full data are digitals that’s why there IU is leader but rest of the award use Gaon/Hanteo physical sales which benefits those with big fanbases such as NCT DREAM, SEVENTEEN, EXO.
