Article: '2018 Gayo Daejun' despite all idol cast, viewer ratings drops significantly

1. [+204, -21] I was thinking "no way this year again????"... and then EXO really did the ending... hul~
2. [+182, -12] I changed the channel during the first half because they were singing SES songs. What would I expect with that damned SM and their obsession over taking the ending stage. So sick of them abusing their power to get their way.
3. [+133, -12] Felt like watching any other 'Inkigayo' episode. Back when we had Big Bang and 2NE1, these stages felt like actual award ceremonies but now it's all the same idol stage with no difference. Feels like another show meant for teens without anything special like hip hop or band musicians.
4. [+43, -7] EXO taking the ending stage is equivalent to the kid in your class who never studies winning an award for bribing the principal
5. [+42, -7] What did EXO even do to deserve the ending?
6. [+41, -5] I watched other channels and only went back to watch Wanna One and BTS
7. [+27, -2] SM really embarrassed themselves this time by acting so greedy over the ending stage ㅋㅋ Did they think we'd be fooled into thinking EXO is the best just because they performed the ending? ㅋㅋㅋ SM hasn't advanced at all, judging by how they're still keeping Yoo Young Jin as director. Their coordis, concepts, songs all suck. They must think we're still in the early 2000s ㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+27, -5] BTS should've done the ending... there was such a drastic difference in the way they commanded the stage
9. [+26, -2] I don't think I saw even one one ballad singer ㅋ they were all idols! This isn't a 'Gayo Daejun', this is more of an 'Idol Daejun', no?
10. [+18, -1] Well it was basically an 'Idol Daejun' and the time slot that it was in is at a time where parents have more control over the TV remote than the children so of course the viewer ratings are low. After seeing Mamamoo's outfits, even my own parents changed the channel.
