well there goes the chances of any nugu/less popular group ever getting a mushow win. I thought kpop was trending away from the Big company dominance with groups like Idle, Kiss of Life and Ateez doing well so this is a bummer. The same handful of groups will be dominating mushows and awards shows, a shame.
also it never made sense to me why korean music shows would have global voting anyways. I cant imagine TRL doing that

This pandering to “global music platforms” really sucks for groups that arent from Big 4. Guess everyone that cant afford Spotify playlisting doesnt deserve a **Korean** music show win.

I’m happy and sad about this at the same time.
Like yeah, it would give a better opportunity to win for groups who usually struggle with the Korean GP but have huge support internationally.
Which is great!
But at the same time will artist like AKMU and Lee Youngji ever win again? Will famous soloist even have a chance?
It seems like the criteria is becoming like Mcountdown now. I kind of liked the diversity of criteria each music show use to have.

Wish they didn’t change it tbh. Usually people consider that The Show is for rookies and nugu groups, and MCountdown is pretty good for idols who are mostly popular internationally, I liked that we had Inkigayo as a music show that was more representative of the Korean music charts

The good change here is reducing SNS points. Cmiiw but they don’t filter out youtube ad views at all.

They really saw that Day6 is slaying the K-charts and decided nah that is not important
No wonder Day6 only promote for 1 week on music shows

As if Korean music show charts aren’t already doing a bad job at reflecting what songs are currently popular in Korea. They are putting all their eggs in the kpop idol basket at this point.

I like this. A lot of groups I like struggle with the Korean gp so it will be great to see them win something.

They didn’t use like YouTube for their counting?? I had no idea… Yeah they needed to change with how much YouTube Music is growing in Korea. It will reflect better in the listening patterns.

Hmm, I really wonder how this is going to affect artists in the long-term…I’ll be curious to see what the percentage breakdowns end up being and what exactly do they mean by “global” (aka if they’ll count YT Music now but only streams from Korea, so it still is Korean focused? That seems like it would be ideal)
