Article: Why is EXO at the ending... BTS fandom explodes with criticism against '2018 SBS Gayo Daejun'

1. [+4,678, -580] I'm not a fan of any group and even I think that this is SM abusing their power. What has EXO done this year? All 2018 long, I've heard about BTS from here and there.
2. [+3,700, -424] SM always makes sure that their artist does the ending stage, they're so annoying
3. [+3,009, -309] Please don't blame one entire fandom on this, go do some fact checking before you blame us and cause fandom wars...
4. [+373, -47] ? Did SM reps put out this article? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are they making it sound like BTS fans are up in arms over this... they're playing so dirty till the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+354, -49] No point in retorting what happened. What does the ending matter when everyone knows that this year was the year of BTS. And the viewer ratings for each performance of the show is already telling us the truth.
6. [+288, -42] It's not just the BTS fandom saying this. We all know that SM has been abusing their power like this so we all left a comment saying we don't get why. Even people who aren't familiar with these groups thought it was weird. Does SM really think that giving EXO the ending was a positive for them? I honestly think it was a negative.
7. [+281, -41] I'm not even an Army and I went "huh? EXO?"... I just assumed they were given the ending out of respect
8. [+231, -41] I'm an ajumma and even I knew that the year belonged to BTS. This is obviously a big company abusing their power. Honestly, all of SM's songs suck but they still win #1 ㅋㅋ
9. [+207, -27] If you read the article, you can tell the journalist is from SM ㅋ "BTS did such and such stage" vs "EXO put on a historical performance and earned much praise". And in another paragraph, "BTS was the best. But EXO wrote a new history." This article was obviously written to get BTS hate.
10. [+205, -29] Do you have any proof that it was only the BTS fandom making these criticisms? Because it seems like it's more of a natural reaction from the public in general... everyone around me thought the same too.
11. [+191, -36] EXO did well in Asia but BTS dominated the entire world. And yet EXO got the ending?? Obviously SM had to do something with this.
12. [+162, -20] I actually think this makes BTS look even cooler... like they don't care. They could've threatened to not attend the show if they weren't given the ending but they knew that they could prove they're the best just by putting on their performance. It actually makes SM look pathetic to be so obsessive over the ending without having achieved anything.
13. [+131, -25] BTS fan here, I was actually glad they didn't do the ending. I thought it was great that they got a chance to catch their breaths before they went up to conclude the show instead of sweating and being out of breath right after. I barely saw any Armies who were against the ending so I'm not sure where this 'explosion' is coming from.
