1. [+615, -3] Why does BTS only get a few seconds of screentime?

2. [+559, -3] "BTS is the awardee for the first quarter", that's it? Only a couple of seconds ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So speechless ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even artists who didn't attend the show still got to say a speech in a video or got the award ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+546, -3] Stupid Gaon but BTS is still the best. I'll cheer for them even harder. I'm just gonna calm down for now. BTS and Armys can win awards in America and be happy ^^

4. [+489, -3] Why was I even watching this?

5. [+457, -2] As expected of Gaon ㅋ Way to make me pissed.

6. [+153, -0] Shouldn't they mention BTS a bit more? Do they know how many albums BTS sold?

7. [+138, -1] Armys watched Gaon awards for 3 hours just to see those two seconds.

8. [+113, -0] BTS won the first and third quarters, is it that hard to mention them for 5 more seconds?
