ONCE is demanding explanation from the 2022 MAMA Awards about TWICE not winning in the Worldwide Fans' Choice Top 10 category despite the group being in the top 10 based on the combined points of the Mnet Plus votes and the number of music video views.
2022 MAMA Awards Asked to Explain Why TWICE Failed to Win in Worldwide Fans' Choice Top 10
On Nov. 29, the first day of the 2022 MAMA Awards took place at Osaka's Kyocera Dome, with female K-pop soloist Jeon Somi serving as the host.
As a result, ONCE is demanding MAMA Awards to explain why the JYP girl group didn't win and also to reveal the total scores of the nominees. The fandom is currently trending the phrase "MAMA RESPECT TWICE" and the hashtag "#MAMArigged" because of the unexpected results.

We demand MAMA Awards to reveal the full breakdown of their result (Spotify, MV Views, Website). This isn’t just any award, but it signifies both effort of the artists and fans! MAMA RESPECT TWICE @MnetMAMA#MAMArigged #RespectTWICE

My girls deserve better. They're top 10 on voting, they got the views on YouTube and streams on Spotify. The award is literally called Worldwide Fans' Choice, but it was given to the one who got the least vote. It doesn't make any sense.
