They are now top group and 8 year old group. Last year they only atttended MAMA(mnet award show) and MMA (melon awards). Maikes sense both are prestigious with long history and big organizations behind them. They didn't attend SMA (seoul music awards) which is equally prestigious and long running awards show. But they are attending fact music awards which only started in 2021. i remember last year bts were going to attend fma 2020 too but it got cancelled because of covid.
Doesn't makes sense. i wonder if fact music awards is run by Dispatch. Because there were some tea threads on allkpop from 2019 that mentioned that bighit/ hybe is tired of paying dispatch for bts and they got them to run a concert/ show which will make them profit. Which could be possibly why Dispatch is still quiet about bts love life even though dispatch and bts contract has reportedly ended last year.
