Big Bang's wins at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards are not as happy as they should be.
On Dec. 2, Big Bang attended the award show with many other iconic and up-and-coming K-pop acts. Over the course of the night, Big Bang walked away with four of the awards, including the coveted title of Artist of the Year. However, the reception was bittersweet as almost all of the other artists in attendance appeared to have left the ceremony before Big Bang could give their acceptance speech.
Member Taeyang did not let the incident go unnoticed. "It's unfortunate that many singers did not stay to congratulate us on receiving this award," Taeyang mentioned in the acceptance speech according to MyDaily. "It would have been nice to celebrate with everyone. I hope we can bring you a more wonderful stage next year."
In fact, only China's top star, and the award announcer Chow Yun Fat and rookie group Monsta X stuck around not only for Big Bang's "Artist of the Year" acceptance but PSY's first comeback performance for his latest singles "Napal Baji" and "Daddy." Fans were shocked to see that even fellow YG Entertainment artists iKON and girl group 2NE1, who made a surprise appearance, were also not in the audience.
After the show, Big Bang's Taeyang and Seungri took to social media to thank those who did stay for their acceptance, specifically addressing Monsta X.
