1. [+574, -25] Ugh, I hated it and thought it was so wrong of them to shout SM town at the end. Keep that stuff at your SM concerts.

2. [+497, -19] It was an SM concert, basically ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+438, -24] Ugh, why are they doing things people will hate. I hate SM town ㅡㅡ

4. [+393, -14] An award ceremony worse than a national talent show

5. [+193, -15] Finally a decent article... I get that SM's a strong company but how can they give the daesang of the year to SHINee... but then again, I lost trust in this trashy ceremony the minute that Bangtan group got a rookie award.

1. [+842, -30] SM household festivals are nothing rare now

2. [+888, -137] I don't like the fact that EXO won since 'Growl' did receive attention but why did SHINee receive one??

3. [+640, -24] I guess Melon and SM made up

4. [+101, -8] SHINee fans can justifying the reward by saying the group worked hard for six years but by that logic, Jo Yong Pil-nim worked hard since the '70s. Try to refute that.

5. [+88, -6] How could they think of shouting "We are SM town"? Such disrespect for the rest of the artists. Not an ounce of consideration.

1. [+423, -29] A ceremony that confirmed the power big agencies have in our country. Nothing more, nothing less. An utter failure of a stage that further proves the failure of our country's music industry.

2. [+403, -25] It wasn't the MMA, it was the SMA

3. [+406, -39] Korean music ceremonies are all about the damn idol kids and the reason they make any money, idiotic stupid fangirls. No actual artists actually showed up and the song of the year was given to a trash song that only brainless stupid fangirls ever listened to.

4. [+30, -5] The trashiest, actually not even worthy enough to be called trash, festival I've ever seen

5. [+24, -5] I'm used to big agencies ruining award ceremonies but SM went too far last night.
