Well I had a few, but these coming at the fag end of the year, took the prize.

I know it's challenging to express your subjective opinion without being insufferable and insulting people who hold a different opinion, but you should really give it a try sometimes.
I know talent in K-Pop better than anyone here, as a decade long Mamamoo fan.
I've seen nothing to prove aespa is superior in any category but vocals, which they almost never use anyway due to all the lipsync.
I've never thought they were better dancers, and a good SM rapper doesn't exist, ESPECIALLY in their girl groups. And visuals is literally the most subjective category of all and has NOTHING to do with talent.
If anyone here is delusional, it's you.
I recommend people simply give their opinions without insulting NewJeans or the people who voted for them. December is almost done, and I'm not going to be as nice in January.

Shall I just dump my Jennie, Jiu, Yoohyeon and Chaeryeong 2024 folders?

NewJeans gave the best reactions to literally everyone and everything the entire night, other than when they left their seats to prepare for their stage.
I planned on making a thread with all the hilarious clips and gifs at some point, but this will do.

Here are mine
How you like that? citron-icy David33
Nothing makes all the divisive toxicity that often plagues our online spaces for K-Pop discussion seem less trivial and pointless than when you're in a venue with your favorite idol and losing yourself to the moment and energy of their performance. I felt that way any time I see Mamamoo, I felt that way when I saw NewJeans last year and I felt that way after seeing Byul.
Yes, this is my personal image of the year. Well, two of them. First, because I took the pictures myself, but also because it was a nice reminder of what I love most about this hobby and passion of mine--it's fun, and Moonbyul was playful, greasy (MooMoos know) and engaging in ways I'd never seen her as a member of Mamamoo.

You lick the boots of that toxic company run by incels masquerading as creatives who are commoditizing the industry and bastardizing art for the sake of profits, even if it requires soulless dehumanization to do so. You do not feel bad for NewJeans, and you are actually full of shit if you pretend otherwise. I already know you cried to the moderation staff in the last thread I called you out in, but this time you invited trouble to your doorstep by failing to keep my name out your mouth, a big mistake
I'll give you one chance to apologize and keep it moving, and I'll leave it alone. But if you think you can even for a moment post all the hateful bullshit you have on the main site and then pretend to be some innocent bystander here, I will spill all the tea.

Kpop seems to become a more competitive arena with each passing year. Not amongst the artists, but their fans. Kpop artists are treated like competitors in the Thunderdome and you're simply not allowed to root for more than one. Overzealous success stans like Yama-Chan have contributed to this increasingly toxic atmosphere, so we know it isn't just the youngins either.
Hooray! I've never purchased a physical Kpop album in my life, so I don't qualify as a stan, thank goodness. I'm old enough to know where that term came from and that it is NOT something you want to be known as.
What an astoundingly delusional and tone deaf observation. If you think K-Pop fandom being transformed into a battleground for fans to weaponize the achievement of their favorite idols in combat against one another is a NEW phenomenon, then you have not been a fan for very long or have only been a casual.
Don't let the misinformed revisionist historians like Popper-of-Ks lie about the K-Pop fan culture. I was here for the arrival, ascension and decline of the third generation; it was JUST as competitive and heated back then.
If you really know your K-Pop, like I do, then you'd know that way back in the day, I'm talking first generation, fans used to actually meet up like rival gangs and actually throw hands like they were in a turf war.
And the second generation wars between Blackjacks and Sones were the stuff of legends.
Don't presume to lecture people about the culture and its dynamics when you understand so little about it, child. And especially don't summon ME to do it. You're just asking to get schooled.

And then there's NewJeans, who fell drastically from 25 wins in 2023 to only five this year.
This requires context.
They only had one Korean comeback, 2 songs, with one of them dropping on YouTube only a full month before its digital release. And their title track, How Sweet, overlapped with Supernova, the biggest girl group hit of the year.
It's honestly impressive NewJeans took 5 music shows in the midst of that.

This thread will turn into a battlefield if you people keep suggesting MAMAMOO isn't one of the most successful girl groups of all time. They have the most cumulative listeners in the history of MelOn and you think they're flops?
Be for real. I will NOT tolerate this kind of disrespect.

you were wrong even with gd and iu
g dragon flopped with power bc even if bruno blocked him,
no one cares about power as it didn't have an impact like his previous songs and #1 song right now doesn't count as he had to bring big bang back to get to the top
iu would get #1 of course since people were waiting for her comeback but it still didn't make an impact like previous songs did and it did good only bc of her name
and pretty sure her title got blocked by gidle bside which is embarrassing. shows that not even gp was feeling her songs. ik it had iu mad as she admitted she still wants to win
nj did good for a comeback with a bad song. they had 3 songs top 10 in gallup which is crazy and shows the power of their brand. every other group wouldn't get #2 had they releaesed how sweet. it would be top 10 or 30? whatever number off the record and either way got
overall their discography has beein disappointing since hype boy&ditto.
Lukewarm take at best. If you want an objective assessment of song performance to be taken seriously as such, don't dilute it with subjective assessments of the songs themselves.

This thread needs to be closed. It makes me uncomfortable

All this slander
I was going to ignore this thread until DaisyTheGenuine suggested I'm down bad for MHJ like thedownbadguy is.
Oi. I'm always idol first.
Anyway, happy holidays everyone!

lol all awards started out as attendance awards. Eventually they grew to become widely accepted.
AAA used to be one, but look at the big names attending. NJ, Ive, Lesserafim, Jo Yuri, you've pretty much got the biggest non SM groups in Kpop plus the next IU being featured.
It's clear that some awards and festivals have biases or beefs with certain labels. While AAA biases against SM, MBC Gayo biases against Hybe.
