[@Marcondirondirondello]

They also won Best Choreography, which I'm a dancer my self, and I find that literally insane. Sure Supernova has catchy moves, like the dance break, but we are really judging a choreo just by catchy moves? The structure is good, but it lacks on diversity, there is no complexity, formations are very basics, like to me at least this award should have gone to NewJeans or RIIZE, these are well thought dance choreos. Like we have NJ that brought us back in the 80s/90s with Supernatural, with moves like the Tom & Jerry, Roger Rabbit and the Running Man, they even used locking. About RIIZE - Impossible it was literally incredible how they implemented so much housing in the choreo, the dance break is insane, that choreo is a whole workout.

As a NEVERLAND, even I was shocked, I'm not gonna be ignorant and say they fully deserved that award, but COSMIC literally screams a vocal based song.

The people I know in the K-pop industry, including my members, colleagues, and friends, are genuinely passionate about what they do. Their sincerity can cause them pain, and their immense love sometimes leaves them feeling empty. But day by day, they continue living, giving and receiving love for themselves, their members, their families, and their fans." (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Aespa's styling team is literally so unpredictable. One time they'll give the girls bombass makeup and fits and the next day they'll give half baked styling.... Like i was so frustrated on their red carpet styling... They literally had such great fits on day 1 where they got all dolled up for karina's opening and receiving fan choice award... But literally the next day when they were supposed to be one of the main events of the night, their stylist team flopped... Like aespa was literally the most successful group of sm this year and they can't even put some efforts into the girls.... And don't get me started on the "solo stage " mediaplay. Each of the member performed like 10s of their solos... Up, one of the biggest solo hits this year, could've had an epic stage.... But they decided to show the back dancers more than the actual artist. Like the cameraman made me wanna rip my hair out... Like i watched the fancam and the dance routine was lit... But if u watch the actual performance, You'll think they didn’t even have a dance routine.... Like i only tuned in this year for aespa.... And aespa deserved the AOTY.... Fight me... Cause they were the it group this year.

1: I thought I was the only one who felt this way. For a group that BAGGED 6 AWARDS, 1 of them being a Daesang, I thought we'd get something that would BLOW US AWAY.

AESPA winning Song of the Year at the 2024 MAMA Awards for "Supernova" is a well-deserved recognition of their hard work and artistry. It's a significant achievement that solidifies their position as a top girl group in the K-pop industry. Here's why I think it's a great win for AESPA: - "Supernova" is a truly exceptional song: It's a captivating blend of powerful vocals, innovative production, and captivating lyrics that resonated with audiences worldwide. - Chart Domination: "Supernova" achieved a perfect all-kill in Korea, topping all major charts, and it secured a triple crown on Inkigayo. This shows its widespread appeal and impact on the music industry. - Global Recognition: The song reached number five on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, number 17 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and number six on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, demonstrating its international appeal. - A testament to their growth: This award reflects AESPA's continued growth and evolution as artists. They've consistently produced high-quality music and captivating performances, and this win signifies their hard work and dedication paying off. Overall, AESPA's Song of the Year win is a testament to their talent, creativity, and dedication to their craft. It's a well-deserved recognition that marks another milestone in their impressive journey.

I was so proud of Soyeon. She is INCREDIBLY talented and it gave me a little hope that more groups might do the same. ❤

[@youerasedme]

Whether "Supernova" deserved to win Song of the Year is subjective and depends on individual preferences. However, it's undeniable that the song achieved significant success and recognition, making it a strong contender for the award. Here's a balanced perspective: Arguments for "Supernova" deserving the award: - Chart Domination: The song achieved a perfect all-kill in Korea, a feat that showcases its widespread appeal and popularity. - Global Recognition: "Supernova" reached high positions on international charts, including Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, Billboard Global 200 chart, and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. - Critical Acclaim: Many music critics praised the song's production, vocal delivery, and captivating lyrics. - Impact on the K-pop Industry: "Supernova" broke several streaming records on Melon, a testament to its impact on the Korean music industry. Arguments against "Supernova" deserving the award: - Subjectivity of Music Taste: Ultimately, music preference is subjective, and some might not have enjoyed "Supernova" as much as others. - Competition: There were other strong contenders for Song of the Year, and some might argue those songs were more deserving. Conclusion: While "Supernova" might not have been the only deserving song, its chart dominance, global recognition, and critical acclaim make it a strong contender for Song of the Year. Ultimately, the award reflects the MAMA panel's decision based on their criteria and the overall impact of the song on the music industry.

I think Winter was the most eye catching member with her performance and facial expression, it was fun to watch her but the overall stage was a let down. 2.

Not only because they sang totally LIVE and without backtracks, but let's remember that they have so much beautiful songs, with different styles and important themes. In addition to being almost all songwriters, composers, producers, and now also directors of their own videos. They know how to dance well, if you go and watch their performance videos. And without forgetting that they have the best Rapper, as well as very good vocalists. They are truly complete and in my opinion they received an injustice. They are currently the best girl group. The same goes for Le sserafim, who should have won the best choreography award. They are the best dancers without a doubt!

[@thebestlife1174]

Awww too bad. aespa on top

[@AnthoRock27]

@thebestlife1174 you have to be honest and objective. aespa deserved 4 awards. The other two didn't. But you are like that. And I'm also a fan of aespa.

[@ashfen99]

completely agree with you on that. They had a good year to with a PAK & good album sales & songs charting. They deserve more awards to be serious.

[@thebestlife1174]

@AnthoRock27 They deserved all those and AOTY. 2024 was dominated by aespa. Just because you "feel" like gidle or lsf deserve awards doesn't mean they should

[@AnthoRock27]

@thebestlife1174 Yes, they deserve the AOTY, no doubt that they made very good and worthy songs, but as a group they still don't have the right maturity to be able to define them as the best. At the top there are currently 5 groups, in terms of artistry and awards: BP, (G)I-dle, aespa, Ive, Le sserafim, I am a fan of all these 5 groups, I love all of them and I answer you as an honest fan. Everyone deserved it, but in this Mama edition something was unfairly taken away from someone and if I say this it is because it is also for the good of the group. If they want to grow and be considered at the top, they are very good at singing, but they need to improve in performing and should sing live, this is definitely why G-idle are on the top and in fact they have more awards in their career, as 4th gen. girl group.

[@timeless1882]

I only watched the "YG" artists' stages. I wished that we had performances from groups like XG, Babymonster, and KIOF, but it makes sense that they wouldn't perform since they didn't win anything. Might check out Young Posse stage tho.

[@lauchoy3227]

XG was evidently robbed of at least a win. Definitely the best rap GG and their song Woke Up never even saw the light of day. They'll do anything to protect their Kpop dominance no matter how absurd some awards appear. Same old punchline with MAMA 2R's 'Robbed and Rigged ' and Ateez? Guess what.. XG will be in Coachella 2025. Their 2R's ..Real views and Real deal. Tired of MAMA 's absurdity.

But then they force him to awkwardly sit there and accept that whatever award and it clearly made his anxiety worse by having to make a speech. It was so unnecessary.

[@yoi_ikeu]

Since k-pop is getting....weird lately like all of the songs are goods like in general. But just had this irky feeling that ever since BTS went on a military. Everything just went unbalanced in K-POP. You see, if all the bts members were still making music and was attending on thay show. These awards wouldn't be bad. If you get what I mean, because I think the impact and the influence of BTS did put a number and the pressure in all the other kpop groups and so the awards shows. Not to mention, its so obvious that there are other companies are pushing their artist forwars in the same path as bts (not going to mention but if you know...then you know) Its hilarious to see K-pop slowly falling apart
