As fans looked forward to their favorite group’s appearance at the event, Sports Korea reported a list of spoiler stages. The report elevated fans’ excitement and quickly swirled around in their respective fandoms. The 37th Golden Disc Awards spoilers are:
- Jay Park x (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon special stage
- (G)I-DLE's Minnie special stage
- LE SSERAFIM - The Great Mermaid
- NewJeans - OMG
- SEVENTEEN - DON QUIXOTE
- ENHYPEN - SHOUT OUT
- Stray Kids - CASE 143, Super Board and FREEZE
- TREASURE - BOY and DARARI
Among the groups, it was SEVENTEEN and Stray Kids’ fandoms, CARAT and STAY respectively, who were extremely enthusiastic about the stages.
The long list of performers for the awards ceremony also included famous names such as PSY, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, Big Naughty, BE’O, and BTS’ j-hope.
GDA lands in trouble with ARMYs hours before the ceremony
The Golden Disc Awards’ organizers landed in trouble as BTS fans, known as ARMYs, alleged that they were using j-hope’s name for clout. The organizers announced j-hope as part of the performers lineup, but a recent JTBC article mentioned that he would only be appearing as a guest and would not be performing.
It has been close to three weeks since the JTBC report came out. Fans awaited an official update on whether the BTS member would be performing or not, but there is yet to be any official word from the GDA committee, HYBE, or the artist himself.
ARMYs also noticed that j-hope would reshare a post or upload a photo if he was performing at an event, but he hasn’t done so for the Golden Disc ceremony yet. With this in mind, and less than 24 hours to go for the show, ARMYs began trending “Golden Disc Scammer” “Golden Disc Answer Us” and “Report Golden Disc” while demanding a reply from organizers.
Meanwhile, the 37th Golden Disc Awards will be held at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on January 7, 2023.
