IZ*ONE takes a controversial win at the 2018 MAMA
Article: [2018 MAMA] IZ*ONE 'tearful award speech' after winning female rookie award
Source: Mydaily via Nate
1. [+935, -168] Anyone would agree that the rookie award should've gone to GI-dle, no? I get that Mnet produced IZ*ONE but what did they even accomplish to win this? ㅋㅋ I don't agree at all ㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+776, -96] It's a league of their own..
3. [+656, -117] How are they better than G-Idle? Mnet's being a b*tch
4. [+49, -33] IZ*ONE's 'La Vie en Rose' sold 80,000 their first week whereas GI-dle sold 2,000 copies. IZ*ONE was #15 on Gaon, GI-dle was #26. Therefore, the rookie award is right to go to IZ*ONE.
5. [+47, -15] Well Mnet gave the rookie award last year to Pristin instead of Chungha~ so what do you expect this year ^^
6. [+41, -14] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're just trading trophies off at this point ㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+37, -18] People expected this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ why would they give a trophy to any group but their own ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+27, -10] Just say you're hater if you're not going to face the facts. GI-dle sold 2,000 copies, IZ*ONE sold 80,000 copies. That's 40 times the difference.

Article: '2018 MAMA' Female rookie award under controversy... homepage votes #1 is GI-dle but the winner is IZ*ONE

1. [+614, -55] How is this anything more than Mnet blatantly giving IZ*ONE the ush?
2. [+551, -64] I am an IZ*ONE fan but I think GI-dle was a lot stronger this year. This award feels wrong to take.
3. [+492, -45] What's the point of voting at all then ㅋㅋㅋ So GI-dle won through votes but "after a discussion", another team takes the win. Obviously that's going to cause controversy. Why not just throw the votes out and hand out trophies to their favorites from the start? ㅋㅋ
4. [+36, -5] But IZ*ONE did better on the digital charts and they even sold 5 times more albums than GI-dle. Even they lost with the votes, IZ*ONE deserves this trophy. I'm not a fan of either group by the way.
5. [+28, -8] What's funny is that everyone who's claiming GI-dle should've won are speaking purely out of emotion and not facing the facts. Let me break it down for you:
Album sales 20% - IZ*ONE sold 180,000 copies, GI-dle barely sold 20,000 copies with their two albums combined
Digital 20% - IZ*ONE is #15 on Gaon, GI-dle is #26
Votes 20% - GI-idle 51% IZ*ONE 17.6%
Expert points 30% - IZ*ONE ranked #3 after Twice and Black Pink in girl group brand rating whereas GI-dle never made the top 10
So are you all arguing that GI-dle deserves to win purely for debuting first even though they lost in every category except votes...?
