lol the fact that people are questioning this and the upvotes.. well..

 

based on the reaction of fans, on how no one deserves this more than them because of the tragedy that they've gone thru this year.. i think that SM has indeed achieved their goal in all of this.. to further strengthen the fanbase esp come comeback period (which of course they really had to promote when they started *slaying* the awards show yesterday).. i just hope that the fans don't keep belittling efforts of other artists such as IU.. everyone deserves to win

Not sure if this is a poke at my post, but I'll assume so based on the underlined use of no one.  If so, this is a slight skewing of my meaning.  I don't think EXO, or anyone, should get an award because of tragedies they've gone through.  That is wrong and, in fact quite horrible. (congratulations on getting cancer?????)  If I misunderstand, apologies in advance.  I do think that those who stay in the boat and bail like crazy after others have jumped out because there are those depending on them, do deserve recognition.  Where I work, during review time, you can get a 3 for "meets expectations", a 4 for "exceeds expectations" and a 5 for going above and beyond.  I think they are a 5.

 

If another group has to face these challenges next year and succeeds, they should get the 2015 award, but this year, EXO kept going when they didn't have to.  They are professionals.  Only a small portion of that award had to do popularity metrics, the rest was subjective by people in the industry.  I don't know about SM's plotting and machinations, whether SM mistreats its people or not or deserves to have another award on their wall, but in my opinion these 10 individual men (and Luhan as well, since he had to bail the boat after Kris left) earned a special credit.

 

Like I noted, the rest all showed up for their recording dates and variety shows appearances, by my company's standards a 3 (meets expectations), but only EXO had to do it up hill both ways in 10 feet of snow, dragging cement blocks.

I was not actually referring specifically to you, or else I would have quoted you, but I've seen those same sentiments thrown around online alot these past few days and I wanted to share my opinion on it. This is a music show and as such it must always be about the music and about how it did (digital, physical etc). Saying that a group/artist deserves an award so much more than others because they've gone through more rough times than others makes it sound like charity. And we never really know the extent of hardships that these idols have gone thru just becuase it's not posted everywhere for the world to see. How about 1 of the SJ members losing his father and grandparents this year? And yet he still stood strong amidst everything, smiling and performing for the fans.. I wouldn't think it right to bring this up just to add leverage to a win.. lol, this has been quite long, sorry. I'm just bothered seeing these kind of sentiments. It kind of throws shade to other artists just because their pain isn't out there for the world to see. May the best album/song/performer win and for MAMA, we already had the winners yesterday so congrats to them. I'm sure all idols have worked so hard and have accomplished so much.
