I remember Hobi getting flack in 2014 or 2015 for saying he wanted to win a trophy at a music show one day. A measly music show! And then in 2016 they won their first daesang, which had ALWAYS gone to groups from the big 3. No wonder they were shocked. But it was so deserved
2013 - 2015 were hard years for Hobi, he got attacked constantly for everything. All these years later and I still am salty about how he was treated back then.
I've always understood why SM and YG scooped up awards, but never understood JYP. The difference in quality between them is vast.
Like, JYP artists aren't bad, but especially way back when (early 2010's), their music videos looked cheaply made. Low effort promo for some groups. missA are one of my faves but, compare them to a group like 2NE1 and again that difference is clear.
Thanks for that piece of history, I was drafting a reply with a question what was happening in details, like why always others etc but couldn't word it properly
Yeah, the show's official cameras were all trained on other groups and they had to pan over really quickly because no one expected them to win. And Joonie gave his most unprepared speech to date because their win came as such a shock
Why did they allow talent shine that day? /gen. If the industry never on the side of underdogs? Genuine question, I wonder what happened? What are the theories/knowledge?
The daesang they won was based on actual sales numbers. I don't remember if it was that year but fans from other groups filed a petition and BigHit was actually investigated for sajaegi (company buying their own albums/songs to inflate their numbers). They were found not guilty and it was actually +
+discovered that BigHit weren't even able to do sajeagi because they simply didn't have the funds even if they had wanted to. The big 3 had a monopoly until then. All the money, all the connections, even k-media in their pockets (this is not a theory, this is factual). Until a small group broke thru
Oh I love this video so much. There's another angle where you can see Joon's face while they're waiting and he's having an entire badass looking mix of emotions. I haven't seen that man look like that since.
