it's obvious why MMA brought Record of the Year back

    MMA is very highly skewed towards digitals, so I think they knew objectively that IU should win Artist of the Year and Album of the Year and SOTY was between Next Level and Celebrity. But they still needed to pander to BTS and I think they realized they would rather not face the wrath of knetz and armys when the only major award BTS walked away with was a formerly eliminated daesang only awarded for three years (once bizarrely to Wanna One in 2018 ) with no set criteria. Therefore, SOTY was given to Butter and in trying to appear even some semblance of objective they brought back ROTY as a random daesang for Aespa

    me when i overthink a show based on awards and judgement which will obviously be somewhat biased^^^^^^^

    Or MMA are pandering to SM and bring Record of the year back to appease them

    Next Level, Celebrity, and Butter are all very strong and they all deserve the daesang that they get.

    it is a paid daesang

    After voting SOTY was between butter and celebrity. Next level wasn't even close. So aespa are the ones who got free daesang.

    Wanna One deserved their daesang in 2018 more than aespa in 2021. Aespa fans are dumb. But they are just another breed of sm company stans so it is reasonable.

    Me when I ignore criteria and numbers:

    to all the people who said aespa didn't deserve their daesang. Kindly come out to the main and said it there. After all some posts shading are there already so you wouldn't be special anyway.

    ROFL, people so salty coz Aespa wins again.


    BAHAHAHAHAHHA suck it haters!

    aespa was never in competition. They got consolation daesang. Be happy about that. They wouldn't have gotten anything if mma hadn't brought back record of the year.

    Butter deserved soty and roty both. Variety gave it Record of the year and its grammy nominated too broke every other record

    It had much bigger impact than NL.
