Twice did that!

 

Who paid these' industry professionals'? :hurr: Cause if they really were professionals they would know GFriend slayed this year and would at least deserve  1 vote in either artist or song category. But since their company doesn't have money..........

Now if they actually choose best song of the year by quality...

 

 

raw

I don't get some of ya'll. Like do you think someone held a gun to korea's head and forced them to download and stream TT and Cheer Up? Twice may have a big fandom when it comes to gg, but it's not big enough to influence the digital domination that they had this year, which means TT and Cheer Up must have been songs the GP enjoyed. The fact that you're sitting here pressed and upset bc a song you don't like is getting accolades , well, that's part of the reason kpop isn't fun anymore. And trust me, even if they did it based on 'quality' your oppas and unnies still probably wouldn't be there, so get off ur high horse
