- What is the criteria for this year's Artist of the Year Award? To be honest, even in terms of grades, I think the female idols were the best singers this year. I was disappointed with the results.

- I really thought J-Hope would win best male artist, but of course, Lim Young Woong had to be there

- Congrats Bangtan!!!

- Stray Kings!

- It would have been better if Stray Kids or Lim Young Woong won the artist of the year award.

- I'm so upset for NewJeans and (G)I-DLE

- I think it was funny how Kep1er won't best new artist but NewJeans didn't

- IVE jjang! (Jjang means great or amazing in Korean)

- Singer Award is given based on overall grades, so all of the albums must do well together. 30 albums for singer award. Of course Bangtan will win.

- Dream, congratulations!!

- It's sad that Nayeon didn't have a performance stage ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

- The special award is so funny hahahaha

- I feel so sorry for (G)I-DLE ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

- Congratulations IVE!!

- Congratulations Jay Park, let's make a big hit again next year!

- Congratulations on SKZ winning 3 awards

- Is there a reason why NewJeans didn't get an award?

- WOW! Blackpink won 3 crowns!

- I thought New Jeans would get something

- Nayeon, congratulations!

- Who is the male rookie award? Are you a Korean singer?

- Supervteen!!!

- Our Taeyeon's Vocal Award ㅋㅋㅋ

- IVE deserved that rookie of the year award

- Lim Young Woong!!!

- GOT7 still has a lot of overseas fans.

- Kingtan!

- But why didn't NewJeans get the new artist award?

- Is NewJeans irrelevant???

- I don't eve know who the male rookies are lol

- NewJeans deserves better
