ENHYPEN's fans had a tough time at the 37th Golden Disc Awards
The 37th Golden Disc Awards held on January 7, 2023, gave ENHYPEN’s fans much to look forward to. As they awaited the group's performances and interactions with other groups, ENGENEs couldn’t help but notice a few out-of-the-ordinary moments when the group was treated differently. These moments apparently kept recurring throughout the ceremony.
In the very first instance, ENGENEs noticed that the group didn't have a red carpet interview. All the other artists were given some time to say their greetings and answer some questions. However, during Pass the Mic group’s time, the MC mentioned that the group had to leave soon for some work. Fans were upset that the group wasn’t even able to greet their fans and those in the audience.
Another instance where the group was allegedly slighted was during the host-artist interaction where groups recorded a TikTok of their viral songs. While other artists had the opportunity to record theirs, the Polaroid Love group were directed to their seats after a short interview.
A few fans wondered if Park So-dam missed the cue due to being visibly nervous or if the script had no mention of it.
Additionally, ENGENEs noticed that the artists' seats were empty when the Pass the Mic group won an award. Many said that it was upsetting to see the idols take the award while facing a deserted seating section.
With a hashtag demanding apologies and answers, fans poured in their thoughts on the alleged mistreatment of their favorite group on Twitter. Take a look at their comments below:
Meanwhile, the Pass the Mic group won the Best Album (Bonsang) at the 37th Golden Disc Awards.
