"Why EXO stopped attending award shows a very much needed thread as antis have misconception that they stopped going because their faves started winning"

@weareoneEXO

In MMA 2016 EXO won every voting, this is a ss of the votes for "The Album Of The Year" EXO were 1st with more than 500,000 (500k) votes gap and EX'ACT was the most streamed album on Melon that year

EXO met all the criteria to win Album of the year and Song of the year but Melon didn't gave any of this award to EXO but only Artist of the year and when EXO Ls asked melon why EXO didn't won these awards melon said it's because of their internal data

But after few months they released their internal data and EXO was indeed the most streamed artist on melon in 2016 and melon was even accused of manipulating EXOs data

At Mama 2016 EXO again won every voting categories and EX'ACT was the best selling album and Monster was the most streamed song but MAMA 2016 gave Artist of the year and Song of the year award to other group when EXO was clearly the winner

In MAMA 2017 EXO won every voting categories with millions of gap but non of the award was given to EXO.

Best Music Video category was 100% fan voting but guess what EXO didn't won that award, EXO was the most tweeted for Best Asian style but again guess what EXO didn't won but bts won

The war was the best selling album of 2017 and Ko Ko Bop was the most streamed song of 2017 but EXO didn't won any awards not even the 100% fan voting categories but Album of the year only

Mama stole EXO's Elyxion and exordium vcr without giving credit to sm they even put cross mark on EXO's Mama mv saying their mama is original

EXO was supposed to perform second last but mama made them perform before younger group and didn't even gave them enough time and then they misbehaved with EXO Ls and physically violated them when they were leaving the venue

GDA first suddenly changed their criteria at the last moment that repackage album would not count in album sales if repack album will not have 10+ songs and EXO had like the highest sales including their repackage album but they didn't won that award

Not only that the ceo of GDA in his speech said "this year they will more fair in picking the daesangs winner" as if EXOs and other winners winning daesangs before was not fair

SMA 2018 didn't nominated EXO for the physical album daesang even though they were perfectly qualified with their 2.1M+ overall sales (which was more than the other nominees) and they even added EXO in their lineup when EXO was clearly not attending and scammed EXO Ls

Hanteo admitted and apologized to EXO for manipulating EXO sales and because of that EXO lost daesangs

Soribada 2020 excluded EXO and didn't nominated them for their awards saying EXO have issue of member withdrawal when no body is leaving EXO but when EXO Ls called them out and their stocks started getting down they apologized to EXO and EXO Ls and nominated EXO

The amount of disrespect these award shows did and still do to EXO and rob their well deserves awards are the reason why EXO stopped going to award shows. Plus they have always said that awards are really don't matter to them as long as their fans keep loving them

I forgot to add what Soribada did to EXO in 2018
EXO was the more streamed artist on Soribada in 2018 with their 2017 albums and was supposed to win Daesang but few minutes before the award show they announced they'll disqualifying EXO because they changed their criteria and +

they won't be nominating any albums that released before 2018 and excluded EXO and after that they announced the Bonsang winners and some of the winners didn't even meet the criteria

Special thanks to @oohsehun__s for receipts

One more

Ko Ko Bop was the most streamed song on Melon and Genie in 2017 but of course as always they got robbed and their award was given to other group
