Is Seoul Music Awards Losing its Appeal? K-Netz Discuss 2024 SMA's Relevance After Event Encounters 'Emptiest' Seat Dilemma

Earlier on January 2, the 33rd Seoul Music Awards (2024 SMA) was held at the Rajamangala National Stadium, in Bangkok, marking the event's first time to take place abroad.

Here's how they reacted:

• "Let's just get rid of this show. Nobody acknowledges this award show, so why even do it overseas?"
• "They had an award ceremony? I just learned about it because it made no impact."
• "What is this? They went overseas? But why?"
• "It's not even a solo concert and my bias would only be performing 1-2 songs so who would go?"
• "What's worse is that the tickets cost the local people almost a month of their salary."
• "Even NCT fans weren't able to fill up the whole venue."
• "I just wish that we get rid of SM-A."
• "After reading the exchange BamBam has on Twitter, maybe idols don't want to deal with these badly run, insignificant, clearly rigged awards."
