A rapper that goes by the name of BFree disrespected BTS, especially Namjoon & Yoongi. He called them girls for wearing makeup. He told them they were on the right path but then they strayed away. BFree told them they can't be considered real hip-hop artists.

BTS were almost always being cut from broadcasts. Their performances would get cut off & some wouldn't even be uploaded on YouTube.
Why?
Because they weren't popular.
People were telling them they can't make it because they come from a small company.

"In the past, my body was quite large. People may not believe it but I had a really big frame so I worked really hard at exercising"
The MC then asked him if he lost weight so which Yoongi responded with
"After I hurt my shoulder, I went to the hospital & they told me to not exercise. I worked hard to stay with out & tired"
This confession led to the lyrics in the song Tomorrow
I wanted to become happy

Fans from another group were extremely upset.
They said that the award was given out of charity & that everything was miscalculated.
They contacted MELON customer service.

The audio of the conversion was revealed.
I will put the transcript of the conversation below
EXO-L: It’s regarding the Melon Music Awards.
Call Center Agent: Yes.
EXO-L: I’ve seen other phone conversations and it seems like you (Melon) have your internal data.
Call Center Agent: Yes, that’s the digital sales score. Internal data is the overall data collected from Nov.
Call Center Agent: Yes.
EXO-L: I’ve seen other phone conversations and it seems like you (Melon) have your internal data.
Call Center Agent: Yes, that’s the digital sales score. Internal data is the overall data collected from Nov.
19th, 2015 till Nov. 18th, 2016. And the charts you’ve seen, those are just one of the many sides of the real-time chart. The internal data referred to by Melon is the total data collected during the one-year period. This includes real-time, weekly, monthly, and the day-to-day
album sales, etc. It’s the total score.
EXO-L: But if the artist didn’t release any albums during that one-year period, it won’t be counted, right?
Call Center Agent: That’s right.
EXO-L: We have calculated our own score for this award, so what you’re saying is that the data
EXO-L: But if the artist didn’t release any albums during that one-year period, it won’t be counted, right?
Call Center Agent: That’s right.
EXO-L: We have calculated our own score for this award, so what you’re saying is that the data
we see is absolutely different compared to the data considered by Melon?
Call Center Agent: No, we’re looking at the same data. But the chart you’ve seen and the real-time … the data you’ve seen is what you see immediately after the artist releases their album, right?
Call Center Agent: No, we’re looking at the same data. But the chart you’ve seen and the real-time … the data you’ve seen is what you see immediately after the artist releases their album, right?
EXO-L: I don’t think that’s right.
Call Center Agent: I think it’s difficult for you to see the total data figure because that data is only available to LOEN. I’m not sure how you’ve calculated the score, but whatever you’ve calculated is the scores from the chart. But what we
Call Center Agent: I think it’s difficult for you to see the total data figure because that data is only available to LOEN. I’m not sure how you’ve calculated the score, but whatever you’ve calculated is the scores from the chart. But what we
use is not the chart, we look at the data of … you know the number of times listened by the general public and not how many times their fans buy or stream the artist’s songs. It’s the overall digital score.
EXO-L: Then you mean you won’t reveal that data?
Call Center Agent: It’s a fair internal data, so it’s not that we won’t reveal the data. We can’t reveal the data.
EXO-L: Is there a reason why you can’t reveal this data?
Call Center Agent: I think you are suspecting internal
Call Center Agent: It’s a fair internal data, so it’s not that we won’t reveal the data. We can’t reveal the data.
EXO-L: Is there a reason why you can’t reveal this data?
Call Center Agent: I think you are suspecting internal
fabrication, but as far as I can tell you, there is no corruption. You can understand that BTS won the award because their songs were streamed more compared to EXO’s during the one-year period.
EXO-L: You should convince us that this is true first. The people who voted for these
EXO-L: You should convince us that this is true first. The people who voted for these
awards didn’t vote for free, did we? They said we could vote three times by purchasing streaming passes and you (Melon) made us pay for them, but if you refuse to reveal the (internal) data
Call Center Agent: It’s not that we refuse to reveal the data, please listen to me.

EXO-L: I’m not considering those immediate moments when they top the chart. I mean, it’s hard for the fans to understand this situation, so as a customer who voted and used your
service, you need to convince us to stop the fans from talking about this situation.
Call Center Agent: No. I tried to explain and convince you about this situation, but you’re the one that’s not understanding. As I’ve told you, during the one-year period BTS scored higher
Call Center Agent: No. I tried to explain and convince you about this situation, but you’re the one that’s not understanding. As I’ve told you, during the one-year period BTS scored higher
but you want to see the data related to this, am I right?
EXO-L: Yes.
Call Center Agent: As for that, this data is the sum of all internal data, so it’s not that we refuse to reveal it, we just can’t reveal this because it’s our internal data.
EXO-L: Yes.
Call Center Agent: As for that, this data is the sum of all internal data, so it’s not that we refuse to reveal it, we just can’t reveal this because it’s our internal data.

Call Center Agent: No, this isn’t about
being organized. It’s enormous. This data includes every artist, not only EXO. Data that was collected during the course of one year, isn’t that right?
EXO-L: Yes. Go on.
Call Center Agent: So it’s quite impossible for us to organize it individually. We award the artist
EXO-L: Yes. Go on.

The situation got worse when BTS won Artist of the Year at the 2016 MAMA.
People were claiming they didn't deserve it. They would post "proofs" & it created a lot of heated arguments between fandoms. Controversy from the other group's speech added to the fuel.
The proverb essentially explains how newcomers will always overtake the old.

The speech could be considered innocent as multiple Ls were stating. It makes sense that an artist who has won an award would not want to be overtaken by new groups.
