MMA Final Lineup

Rest In Peace 3rd gen

Is that good?

Ooohhhhh, theres quite a short list of line-up, but disappointed at how aespa ain't going

Quote from NEO

Where's aespa?

SM, YG and JYP have called out Melon on chart manipulations since 2017 regarding Saejagi and other issues. They have stopped sending their artists to that award show since then.

no aespa

I better not see aespa got robbed of their deserving roty and best female group awards

itzy attended MMA 2019

ok, not sure then. I thought BIG 3 except Hybe had a beef with Melon.

Is that why ikon went there 2018 when they got the daesang? More like they stopped sending anyone since they for the most part cant compete for any of the daesangs as long as BTS is active, and them all owning shares in competing music services probably has something to do with it as well.

i don't think that's the exact reason

I think any BIG 3 artist will attend as long as they got the Big-name awards not the makeup awards, so maybe (my theory) aespa got robbed either in roty or best female group award or worst both of them.

Wait that's it? aespa and NCT Dream not attending doesn't make much sense unless they have schedules that day.

I think sm idols dont actuall go to mma since a long time ago

or maybe its the kakao x sm thing

what's weird is omg not going

If this is the final line-up I'm pretty curious with the result of the award.

I just realized there's no 3rd gen group here at all except for maybe BG.

Quote from asongofroses

Nothing is robbed from aespa when IU is going

will IU get ROTY and Best female group instead of them?

.

Well, Its a award show I will skip watching

Quote from NEO

As for NCT Dream, they don't.

well that's bullshit

interesting

Rest in peace ratings.

Another extremely poor line up.

Kakao vs CJ rivalry at play here.

This lineup looks terrible. Only Kakao groups attending (StayC, Boyz) plus Hybe's junior groups. It's missing BTS, Dream, 127, Seventeen, Stray Kids, BP, Twice, RV, Itzy, and Aespa.

Aside from IU and Brave Girls, this lineup is headlined by Lim Yang Wong? Lee Moojin? MSG?

Like wut?

thats worse than mama line up

YIKES.

Quote from bartkun

STAYC Girls it's going down!

Wasn't this on one of the members' wishlist and hopes for this year? 🤔

Seriously... that's all??? What is this? Where are the 3rd gen groups and where's aespa? 😭

Quote from Artemosia

For Best Female they can give it to Brave Girls in all fairness if they include data from songs not released during the eligibility period, unlike most predictions I've seen... But I've just checked RotY numbers and good luck justifying aespa not getting it even if they bomb their judge score lol

I don't think that the rule since tracking period should be from 11 November 2020

anyways, we're being robbed either one of them or worst both of them

I cant believe OhMyGirl isnt going DDDance won enough melon popularity weeks, wtf WM? This is a very short lineup and dissapointing, since JYP and SM have beef and BTS is busy elsewhere at least IU is going to get the ending performance lol and maybe Hybe will try to save the day and have txt/en- do a collab stage or something but yikes

For Korean TRP, why is this line up bad.

IU after 4 years.

LWY and his massive fanbase.

MSG Wannabe for nostalgia

Lee Mujin for new breakout

The viral hit underdog story Brave Girls

AND rest, pretty strong 4th gen acts.

Maybe for i-fans, it might not be attractive, but I think for Korea, it is a good one.

And BIG 3/4 groups or 3rd gen don't need the exposure, good that others are getting an opportunity.

Maybe the dependency between line up and prizes are exaggerated. I don't think being in line up is a guarantee or not being in the line up is an elimination.

if aespa get robbed

I'm not even Aespa fan, but aren't they at least supposed to be get roty? Whenever I see melon, they always chart high for months.

This list feels so short..

Yea, there is no doubt that aespa deserved ROTY, Best Female Group and a bonsang.

Look at this. They toped melon for GG 7 out of 12 months.

Mma give awards even if u don't go. BP got theirs last year without going

Wow I thought aespa would be there :shyy:
