Twitter reacts to the nominations

Many viewers were disappointed that Netflix shows took the majority of nominations at the Baeksang Arts Awards 2022. They believe that only popular mainstream dramas were nominated, indicating a bias towards Netflix shows over those on TV.

Moreover, they commented on how Taxi Driver, Hospital Playlist, and Hometown Cha Cha Cha, among others, weren’t included.

The Baeksang Arts Awards 2022 will air live on JTBC, JTBC 2, and JTBC 4 channels on May 6 at 7:45 PM KST.
