EXO, SM and award shows constantly robbing them, why Korean EXOLs stopped voting and streaming [a THREAD.]
2016, MMAs (Melon Music Awards)

They used to give 3 daesangs including "song of the year and album of the year".

They are based on:
- votes
- digitals/streams
- how long it charts
This is a ss of the votes for "The Album Of The Year" when the voting ended (specifically 1 minute before the voting closed), @weareoneEXO were 1st with more than 500,000 (500k) votes gap
@weareoneEXO's album was the most streamed album in 2016 with a gap of ≈50M streams.
Naver| most streamed SONGs on Melon in 2016:

#1 Monster with 190,898,389 streams

Most streamed songs on Genie:
#1 Monster
#3 Lotto
List of the groups that charted the longest in 2016:

#1 @weareoneEXO
@weareoneEXO have met all the criteria for the album and song of the year daesangs yet they didn't win neither.
Multiple articles and news websites called Melon out for manipulating the awards, it even hit 1st pages.

Melon said that it was based on "internal data".
11 months later, they published the "internal data" which proved that Monster was indeed the most streamed song with over 101M streams on Melon and 73M on Genie.
"internal data" "내부 데이터" trended in Korea right after they published them.
2017 | MAMA "Mnet Asian Music Awards" (the biggest snake of them all)

@weareoneEXO were nominated for 7 awards, they were leading in all 7 categories.
They were leading with the digital points with their song Kokobop with 213,719,703 streams.
@weareoneEXO were also leading with the most physical -sales- points with 6,909,069 physical points.
@weareoneEXO won the voting of all 7 categories they were nominated for, right when the voting closed, EXOLs celebrated this amazing result of their hard work by trending "EXO EXO" with over 7 million tweets.
"EXO 1st in all categories" also trended worldwide.
"Best Asian Style" award is 100% based on LIVE voting

@weareoneEXO won the voting with +11M votes, despite Mnet showing LIVE that EXO were leading with the most tweets, yet someone else won the award.
@weareoneEXO met all the criteria for all the awards they were nominated for yet they lost 7 of the 8 awards they deserved to win.

1. Best Asian Style | robbed
2. Artist of the Year | robbed
3. Best Music Video | robbed
4. Best Male Group | robbed
5. Song of The Year | robbed
6. Best Dance Performance Male Group | robbed
7. Best OST, Chanyeol's Stay with me | robbed
@weareoneEXO only won 1 of 8 awards they met every criteria for winning and leaded their voting polls.

8. Mwave Global Fans' Choice | won

* they look angry because Mnet disrespected them and plagiarized their concept for their VCR without crediting them.
The only daesang they won was for the "Album of The Year" award which criteria involved 0% voting.
Baekhyun asked EXOLs to stop crying because EXO just won an "amazing" award too so there's nothing for his beloved fans to cry for.. "you are wonderful fans"

No one can forget how excited and happy we were when we did our best to make EXO win EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY and were too excited to watch them announce the winners, yet they humiliated us and EXO:

- MNET copied EXO's Elyxion concept for their VCR, for the 2nd year
- they put an X over EXO’s MAMA mv to promote their award show.
- they turned off/confiscated EXO-Ls lightsticks during EXO performance.
- disrespected the seniors and made younger groups perform after them.
- EXOLs were injured and chased away by the Mnet staff when they tried to leave the venue after EXO's presentation and witnessing the way MAMA treated them:
-
"Soft hearted Chanyeol. I'm always worried someone might hurt your heart"- Byun Baekhyun
That explains why YG have
been boycotting MAMA
since 2015 after getting
called out -dissed- by the
legend GD himself in 2014.
SM joined the boycotting too, thankfully.

I will never forgive them for making our beautiful humble men cry.

Stan @weareoneEXO y'all.
And just to make it more clear how biased award shows and the whole industry are: https://twitter.com/oohsehun__s/status/1137519171015729152?s=19
