This is why exo doesn’t go on award shows anymore

the best takeaway from this night was that chen literally said "music is not a competition" at the most prestigious awards show during some of the worst fanwars that have ever happened. they see what goes on, they know about all the issues, and they always speak up instead of ignoring it and try and keep exo-ls in line and focusing on whats really important. i love them so much

And just this year, EXO is the first group broke the record in SORIBADA platform votings EXO Broke The Voting Record In Choeaedol App As Group, Overall & The Accumulate Votes 👏🎉 EXO Broke Record After Record With 453M Group Votes & 511M Accumulate Votes (Group + Individual) And yeah ! EXOLs are not DEAD ! some of us are REALLY BACK in VOTING PLATFORMS!

When Chanyeol said that "My popularity is higher than Mnet" I laughed so Hard lol

Chanyeol and G Dragon even dissed MAMA for how they manipulated their ways of giving out the awards. You hardly vote for your idol to win but in the end, some magic tricks happened under the table.

December 1, 2017. It's been almost 3 years since MNET made EXO and EXOLs cry from all the disrespect and mistreated they got. - Staffs confiscated EXO-Ls lightstick where it's obviously they're trying to give EXO a black ocean and turned off EXO's lightstick while EXO performing. - Securities harrassing EXO-Ls and pulled them using a barricades. - Ignored EXO in whole cooking show. - Got robbed to their supposed to be their awards infront of their faces. "EXO-Ls don't cry! We already won daesang, please don't cry." - Baekhyun They are not crying because they won Album of the Year, they cried because it hurts them seeing EXO-Ls crying at the venue. They obviously knew what was happening that day. This is the most traumatic and heartbreaking event. But still EXO did the 90 degrees bow to thank everyone. I can't never forget how MAMA treated EXO. Never. INDEED AWARD CAN BE STOLE, BUT NOBODY CAN STEAL GOOD ATTITUDE 👑

Finally you reacting to the WORST MOMENT EVER in EXO and EXOL world.

I came as soon as I saw "Exo vs Mama" like I've been wanting someone to react on this anddd-- ahhhh Time to cry again (T_T)

I remember that a host or maybe it was someone else before said this after they saw EXOL's and EXO crying that I know your all disappointed I am too and that he saw kyungsoo and the rest of EXO crying backstage and that just made me madder and sadder EXO was crying because of THE UNFAIR TREATMEMT. Even Kyungsoo who barely cries cried that night and Baekhyun gooodddd Mnet is deserves what's coming to them. Baekhyun kept saying dont cry EXOL meanwhile they cried and that just broke me... I also remember EXO saying they will protect EXOL after the awards and that's when they stop going to awards show.

That's the reason why us EXOls are so lazy in voting now's ,we have trust jssue

I became an EXOL this April.. probably after quarantine started.. but I love them so much.. it's so hurting to see all this.. Am really proud of people who are with EXO since the beginning and I made a promise to myself to be with EXO for a lifetime.. They mean so much to me and I really enjoy their songs/shows/concert videos/ments and everything.. An EXO-L forever!!!

Tbh there was 100% other things that went on behind the stage that night with EXO, there were a few instances where the members had come back from backstage and they looked shaken up and very uncomfortable that night and I remember hearing that superjunior members had to comfort them backstage because they were so upset. I don't know if it was to do with other artists, staff or higher ups in the industry and award show but even this video will never show the whole story. I'm glad SM stood by EXO for this and cut Mnet off after this. In my opinion, that day was almost like a turning point in EXOs career and for EXOL too. EXO members have never been particularly concerned with awards but this sort of set in stone that the members would completely stop caring about that stuff. It wasn't worth it for themselves and their fans and they knew that.

When I saw the title I was like “Aw yeah that one” in an bitter tone

Last year, Chen was nominated as Best Vocals of the Year. I was warned by my co-exols not to seriously vote for him because in the end it would be manipulated. Before the end of the voting, Chen was ahead with huge gap of the voting and I was confident that he would win but guess what? Right before my eyes, Chen lost the category. Literally, i cried because i was really heart broken. From that day, i promise to myself not to Vote for any nomination of EXO esp for MAMA.. MNET is a blood sucker.. Thats why big entertainment companies such as YG, SM & JYP doesn't want their artist to be there because that Awards night are full of magic.

One of the best things SM did was to boycott MAMA at that time. MAMA is rigged. Facts only. No lie. SM vs MAMA already happened before actually (because of what happened to Girls' Generation in 2009 If I remember it correctly). SM just started to attend MAMA shows again in year 2011 then decided to boycott the show again after what happened to EXO in 2017. That year was so heartbreaking for us ExoLs. Not only MAMA, other awards shows did them dirty as well 💔

Hope people will know why exo didn't win an award of these days not because they're famous or what but because of this trauma. Exols were a very strong fandom

that day was tense, I witnessed everything, it's still a dark day in the history of exo and exols EXO also never perform his comebacks on mnet, releasing only videos produced by SM itself and by kbs, which makes me very happy At the end of this MAMA 2017, the boys waited for the other groups to leave and then bowed 90 degrees to the exols for a long time, I think as an apology and thanks for supporting them.

Literally THAT YEAR was Exo´s concert. Especeally when they perform Power you can see so how different idols stood up and sang along with them. The other artists knew what was happening and they supported EXO. In the reactions Red velvet, NCT, Super Junior, Taemin (SM) were singing and supporting and even Got 7 (from JYP) stood up.

Mnet's MAMA stands for M-Mnet A-Asian M-Manipulation A-Awards Honestly EXO and EXOL's are better off without this stressful award show, it turned to shiz after 2015.

All of this problem was beginning in 2008 when mnet asked SM to become their distributor to promote SM’s artists. At that time mnet have already held 3 big companies of music in Korea like JYP ENT, YG ENT, and DSP ENT, and if SM also agreed to join, mnet will become the biggest distributor for music programs. BUT as you know SM rejected that request because SM was confident in promoting their artists. And from that day Mnet was boycotting every SM’s artist song, like in other music show SM’s artists like Girls Generation’s Gee was winning in every music chart exception for mnet. Relationships between SM and Mnet get better, I think when 2011-2012 because all of the SM artists were performing in a mnet music show but in 2015 mnet, was being naughty again for like can’t do the voting for EXO. And it's becoming the worst case in 2017. But Mnet got their Karma for the case of Produce idol Show🙂 So it’s all about time😊

I couldnt bear to watch MAMA that day, I turned off the tv. I didnt finish watching it till this very day. What's the use in voting if in the end they ignored the result. EXO didnt attend any award shows was the best for me. It's ok they didnt get any award as long as no one hurt them.

I don't want to spread hate but recently I saw a bunch of new K-pop fans claiming that EXO have stopped going to mama ever since BTS started raking in the awards.... I wish they'd explore the situation a bit more before commenting all that stupid stuff..... Mama 2017 was such a heartbreaking moment.... If it was sad enough to break hearts of international fans just imagine what was the condition of those fans who went there after voting so much and was mistreated so badly and returned home after watching EXO cry and hurt so bad....

Let us not forget that kpop industry is also a platform of political battle and anomalies. Dragging BTS in this topic is irrelevant. Those who are saying that Bts only started soaring high because of exo controversies are obviously blind. Bts debuted in 2013 and struggled to promote their music for years. Yet, they stayed together continued their passion against countless criticisms right up to the point of choosing to disband because their agency was nearing bancruptcy. And during those struggling years, exo and other seniors groups are bagging awards and victories here and there while bts watch in the sidelines with hopeless faces so why and how bts achieve their status right now? It's because bts, bighit and army fandom never gave up. Failures only fueled them to strive harder. If you are a fan, you don't give up voting or leave the fandom just because you think something isn't going right anymore. Reflect and remind yourself about the real purpose of fandom. What made you love your fav group. And what can you contribute to support the idols that inspires you. Overall.. all i want to say is.. Don't feel bitter watching other idols achieve an enormous fame over your chosen idols because it is "collective effort" that amounts to stardom. Learn from this: Bts became legends because of the members' immense talents and fighting spirit , the fandoms collective and consistent effort. Lastly, Bighit cares and loves their artists sincerely. Stop spreading false interpretations about bts achievements. Raise an argument and fight with Mnet, MAMA etc, but leave the idols alone.

Thank you for reacting to this! 🙂 This was the saddest and disappointing night for EXO and EXO-Ls. Years have passed but the memory and the pain is still here. But I'm thankful I stan the right group-being the best boys that they are-keep reminding us that award won't matter to them anymore as long as we are safe (bcoz they don't want anything harmful to happen to the fans like that night). Anyway, EXO doesn't need to prove anything to anyone anymore. They already PROVED that they are the BEST. And that's all that matters now.

Thanks for reminding us with this video how successful EXO is and has always been and will always be worthy of the best.

Now you know why. Honestly speaking, I don't really participate in voting since MAMA 2017 not because I don't trust our fandom, not because I'm lazy, not because we're weak, but because EVERYBODY HATES EXO TO BE ON TOP, THEY HATE THE FACT THAT DESPITE OF THEIR SHITTY ACTS EXO IS SUCCESSFUL AND STAYS ON TOP, before I rent other EXO-L's account to vote on different platforms cause they were not able to vote, but when I saw their (EXO) face during MAMA 2017, it cause trauma to me, so much trauma, EXO really won in ALL CATEGORIES but ONLY took 1 award home and that's ALBUM OF THE YEAR Award. I was watching it LIVE and I was literally crying while watching how EXO cry. Despite of what they've done to them, EXO still gave respect and bowed 90 degrees, indeed AWARD can be STOLE, but NOBODY can steal GOOD ATTITUDE. I just begun to vote again when EXO was nominated on Choeaedol and other voting app this year 2020. It's my first voting ever since that traumatic event happened.

EXO dont need MNet , MNet needs EXO

I was one of those people who diligently voted and excitedly watched the livestream. You could just imagine how shocked and confused I was when EXO were not being pronounced winners for the categories I thought they had in the bag. Even a group that just debuted barely four months before won Best Male Group over well-loved groups (btw, they were formed in an MNet survival show now embroiled in rigging controversies ...no hate, but fishy). My heart aches for EXO and my co-EXO-L’s. That’s why we all have to give them extra love and support all their projects, even in their personal lives. Yes, even if they enter relationships, get married, and have children! 🥰

I can still remember when EXO Overdose mini album won Album of the Year. The year after that, MAMA changed the criteria for AOTY. It needs to be a full album to win the award. We all know, not just EXO but also some other groups deserve to be treated better. Mnet doesn't deserve all the great performances and popularity

Now it's not the time to look back at old sorrowful memories. It's time to show EXO's power. EXO's position is dropping in Choeaedol........If u have free time plz vote for EXO 💑

i became exol february this year, and when i realized all the sht with mnet man i was so pissed and they sick me so much. exo is just too superior for their shtty award show.

As an EXO fan from debut that would spend hours of my day voting and doing so legitimately at a time when we were collectively known as voting monsters this was a heart breaking night. I've never loved any group the way I love EXO. I remember waking up early 2 nights in a row to watch EXO and then on the second night as we learned every single detail that was coming out I vividly remember just waiting for EXO to perform to stop my stream. I remember being on Twitter and Weibo and even seeing Sehun comment on posts. I remember every award being announced and nothing coming to EXO. I remember Asia Style Award being given and the ticker showing EXO as #1, but losing. I remember feeling this horrible anger in the pit of my stomach and when they won their only award I remember sobbing. I cried so much because I was frustrated and angry at everything that had happened throughout the night. Not because they'd only won 1 award, but because it felt like we'd been slapped in the face and then they turned on EXO and slapped them too. It felt like we had done everything right and everything we could for our boys and we had still let them down. That night still vividly lives in my heart and mind because it was the moment I decided I would never vote for any MNET awards knowing what they would do to EXO again. Sometimes fans get upset about some of us not voting, but when living through that moment and seeing everything that happened it's difficult to ever think that they would play fair. SM and YG have the right idea tbh. MNET is problematic and had been before this situation with EXO.

Not only MAMA.. all the awards shows are snake they don't want EXO to win awards even though they meet all the criteria for their nominations... 😡😡😡

Fandoms from other groups should take the time to watch this video and understand why SM no longer send their groups to MAMA. No, it's not because of Flop as many say , it's out of respect for the artists since I'm sure that if your group suffered what EXO suffered, you wouldn't want it to go to those awards again..... EXO and the other SM artists are still great!!!!

BRINGING BACK THOSE MEMORIES..I WAS NOT THERE WATCHING LIVE BUT IM STREAMING IN MY PHONE THAT NIGHT..I WAS CRYING IN MY ROOM WHILE WATCHING IT...EXO DESERVE TO WIN NOT ONLY ONE OR TWO AWARDS...EXO DESERVE A RESPECT.

While seeing all the comments I know that we exol are still here let's wait for them together cause we are one ❤

Thanks for your reaction! This is a reason that makes EXO and EXO-L stronger. No matter what people say, EXO is still a legend.

Mnet is the reason why YG and SM don't go to MAMA anymore. BIGBANG's G Dragon even rapped at MAMA's dissing the award show itself because of how unprofessional MNET was. Ever since then, anything with MNET, fans are just so disgusted with them. Actually recently, Mnet made a reality show for NCT which is NCT 2.0 and honestly a lot of fans including me were like ????? Just because of their history with SM (I know its NCT not EXO but I feel like its SM in general)

MAMA = the Grammys of kpop. I wasn’t an EXO-L at that time but I see the effect of that crazy award night on the fandom until now. :-(

I'm crying remembering that day😭 that's the worst day for us

I remembered that day. I saw this on live video. When my EXO cry, EXOL is not okay anymore. My friends and me called all night to crying for the worst moment. But it's make we love and hug EXO a lot.

It's been a year and I'm still crying whenever I see clips and pics about this. Exo and Exo-ls are strong.

The moment where every EXOL will never forget and forgive :’) they even didn’t allow fanlight where they know that everytime exo in award, it will be a concert for them. Im so mad and crying so hard everytime i watch this. Im glad that they stopped attending award since 2017. Thankyousomuch

This is part of KPOPs History and should be written in Books...dont tell me otherwise

I used to be super excited about award shows but after that year, MAMA pretty much didn't exist anymore.

To be sincere, am so surprised and sad😭😭. I had no idea that this happened to them. I started to stan them at 2018😭😭.No wonder I am only in love EXO

Now when they wants to sell they ticket they would say exo will come😊 they use exo names to sell they ticket .but exo won't go there any more . Because just exols and big bang fans can make ceremonys like concerts

Your last words make me cry. Thank you for reacting to this video, another fandoms have to know what happened that day

Well D, I saw the title and didn't know if I wanted to go through this again....I've been watching the MAMA"S since 2012, and I looked up to Mnet, this is the Asian Grammys for God's sake....I wasn't watching to see only Exo, there were always fantastic performances by other artists that blew me away and I always looked forward to them...even American artists like Stevie Wonder and John Legend and others have been guest performers over the years...when this fiasco happened.. I pretty much washed my hands of award shows period...and the back stories of Billboard and Grammy award shows too...money being exchanged behind closed doors for artists...we all know that's possible, and it does go on, people just don't know, or don't want to know. Poor Chanyeol, he's already an emotional guy.. he was feeling for how the Exols were treated in that crazy clip... no more, awards are useless and mean nothing to me now....your music making me happy is all that matters.😑💙🌺

Not only did they do EXO dirty, but also Super Junior as well. SM has been doing it to Super Junior for years. I remember especially back in 2014 Kyuhyun was nominated for male solo artist of the year and we voted so hard and by the end of the voting we saw the results and kyuhyun had won. When it came to announce the winner live they gave jt to someone else. As an sm stan, it was such a horrible night both in 2014 & 2017. I’m so glad that SM boycotted. They treated SM so dirty. Mama awards is shit, but don’t even get me started on Golden Disk Awards & how they treated Super Junior. That’s on a whole different level. Let me just say that they actually banned them from winning more awards cause apparently they won too many.

This is 2020 but the pain is still there. Thank you for reacting to this. A lot of reactors really dont want to react with this video because it is very controversial. Thank you sir. i salute. Ps. I cant help but to cry everytime i watched this video.

I love exos for being strong and whatever all of this they’re still the best of the best, no one can beat them :”(

This is one of the most heartbreaking moment that happened to EXO & EXO-Ls. ❤ Its okay fam, we have each other anyway.

I remember that day, out of almost 7 votings, Exo won all of them all daesangs but on the award day they gave Exo only one award, they even showed Exo's name as winner on the screen but still announnced the other group. Chanyeol's ost was the winner with a huge gap at voting but they still gave award to second one. They have no shame, they are cheating looking you in the eye. In 2016 mma some fans left the arena after Exo won artist of the year award they let them go but in mama 2017 they harrased Exols for leaving due to mistreatment to Exo. They gave Exo a short time to perform and they should've put exo to the last but even rookies performed after Exo which is soo disrespectful. And yet they still announnced Exo the last cause they know they have ratings thanks to Exols. Mama is on popularity's side not on justice.

Woow really love your feedback 🔥 love how you said that "you past will never define your future it makes you stronger" which is so true #sogood🙌🏽💯 ❤️

Omg. Thank you so much for reacting on this video. This event was really bad. Thank you for opening your mind on this issue

It's sad to say, but MNet is not in the business of making fandoms happy. They are in the business of making money!!! They don't give a damn about how the fans feel, or even how the groups themselves feel. As new and upcoming groups become popular, the current favorites will be pushed aside just like SoJu and EXO were, and other groups before them who were pushed aside to make room for them. BTS will be next to make way for someone else. That's the way it works unfortunately. It's crushing for us who are fans of these groups, but there it is. MNet IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MONEY, PERIOD. The groups need to keep their heads up and keep producing music, forget about these idiots, and just concentrate on their fans. We need to be grownups, support all the groups, applaud their hard work, and thank them for sticking it out. Fan wars are ridiculous. All these artists are friends and are known to each other. There's no sense in blaming other groups when they have no control or say in what the corporations do. Just stick by them and encourage them ,and we should encourage each other to be good fans and support KPop in general. We don't love them because they win awards, we love them for the music they produce and the way they make us feel. Let's concentrate on that, okay? It's just too heartbreaking to keep rehashing this mess.

One fact that anyone can relate would be "Mama is a Certified snake ever". I will never forget what happened during 2017 and how they mocked Chanyeol. They will be forever snake!

Thanks for reacting to this i really cried that day and i still remember it til now

The best for them is to sit back home and enjoy their lunch.. dinner instead of just wasting their time and energy and tears attending that award show Exo♥️♥️

At first, i hesitate to watch this video bcz i know this will tear me up again like hell. But bcz i wanna know your reaction about this, i did and yeah it broke me again. The lighting of their performance wasnt included in the video. But when you watch the performance, you will notice how Mnet really wants to ruin their performance. They really want to give EXO a kinda black out performance thats why the lighting in any angle that day.... really sucks.

Yall should be mad at companies not idols/groups, it is very clear that most of them get along pretty well because they support and respect each other.

It's gonna be 4 years since it happened but everytime I watch that video I can't help but to cry

still watching your video, thank you for loving our EXO.

im not even an exo-l but i will support them in a heartbeat if theyre at risk

When the news about MAMA 2020 was released, a lot of comments(i'm sure from EXOL) saying that Mnet is a snake (which is true) But what hurts me that other fandoms comment "oh there you go again, saying Mnet snake" and many more You simply can say that because it's not your idols get robbed, its not your fandom gets hurt, you are not in our shoes. So stop saying that and create another bad image for EXO and EXOL if you dont know the whole story. JUST SHUT UP

I'm crying 😭😭😭 that moment will never be forgotten. 💔💔

Thanks so much for reacting to such an important video for us exols, I really enjoy and like your reactions since they're honest & genuine. I became myself an exol last year shortly before Obsession era and this video is a must to see. Music awards shows stopped being interesting once Exo decided that enough is enough and please don't take this as an attack to anyone I genuinely respect all groups bc theyre all unique and great in their own way. But facts were there, nobody wants this kind of treatment and I really hope no group and fandom will ever go through the sh!t Exo and exols had to that night. Music should be about celebration, positivity and good vibes but there will always be a group of people who will ruin it. Love & support the group your heart tells you to. In my case is EXO because they're not only the group I love, cherish & support but they're also my family, my strength & light. WE ARE ONE!!

EXO DOES NOT NEED MNET. MNET NEEDS EXO

Im crying again because this precious boys doesn't deserve that disrespect:(( and our coexo-ls are badly hurt goshh i can't

Thank you, thank you so much for this reaction. It means a lot

IT'S BEEN WHAT? 3 YEAR? BUT EVERYTIME I SAW CLIPS OR ANYTHING RELATED TO MAMA2017 I STILL ENDED UP CRYING.

By now, I think everyone knows that all year-end award shows change their criteria the last minute whenever EXO is at the top lmao. Everytime they do it, they just prove more that EXO is still unbeatable

I would suggest you to react to the Melon Music awards 2017 cause it was 1 day after Mnet did this and the fandom went crazy to support exo after seeing what they had been through (you could barely hear them sing cause the crowd went nuts for them and the venue was 90% exols)

I cried so much that day 🥺🥺😭😭thanks for react to this video ❤️

OK, so this was the hardest year for Exo and ExoLs!!!! We'll never ever forget this!!!

I always cry when I see this problem, it hurts to see EXO being betrayed like this

READ THIS Story to clarify more on the video Someone: "I remember smth about big3 idols not attending because of “mistreatment” when the mistreatment in question was them not winning awards💀 Their faves stop attending because they stop winning 💅" No, you don't have the right to talk about 'that' MISTREATMENT bcs you don't know what happened, you don't what we've experienced. YOU DON'T KNOW. To clear things out let me tell you a story or more like a nightmare - DECEMBER 01, 2017 EXO were not fine since they stepped on the red carpet. Exo-Ls were not fine since they entered the venue. The disrespect was on another level. Chinese Exo-Ls were beaten by the staffs that wanted to take their lightsticks away (even though ligjtsticks were allowed) and they were mad and disappointed and fckn angry and everyone in the fc knew what happened. Exo knew too. Sehun went on weibo during the ceremony and read all the things cherries were writting. Their stage was cancelled and then moved earlier and they didn't know until they arrived there. Other stuffs of Mama turned off the Mnet lightsticks during Chanyeol's performance (imagine if exo'ls didn't have the aeribongs that those staff wanted to take away). They were pissed and mad and seeing them on stage like this was not something we'd seen before. Even Baekhyun had a numb face. During speech, he asked us not to cry because they received a big award and laughed. That was sarcasm at its finest, if you know him, you get him. Minseok lowkey told mnet they can't stop them no matter how hard they messed with them AND Chanyeol was crying... like he usually DOESN'T, and not because he was super happy and excited, he really didn't expect anything good. He was grateful and he felt sorry for us. They knew the fans wanted to leave but stayed and cheered for them. Yes, we're stressed over a month for nothing. We worked hard to be beaten, robbed and to see Exo mad on stage. It's okay for us not to win those awards if we had ACTUALLY lost but the proof says 'NO. We WON', we really did, the evidence says it all ... and we're hurt because WE EXPECTED IT. After they received that one award, exo being the old exo, managed to bow 90 degrees and suho still thanked exo-ls proudly. K-Exols, C-Exols , especially International Exols are crying as f - we watched that award show until the end, we couldn't do anything about it, we just cried and ranted on social media. Because it's done, the award was robbed in front of us. YOU KNOW WHAT'S WORST?? LAST MAMA 2019, It's still fresh on our minds how mnet used exo for clout. Exo cried because of the mistreatment mama gave exo-ls but again this fckn mnet, brought it up in mama 2019, saying exo cried tears of joy. TEARS OF JOY? mama pushed exo-ls away, plagiarised exo's content, took exo-ls lightstick away and had audacity to say those were tears of joy. TEARS OF JOY BEING MISTREATED just WOW! It's not only EXO! BIGBANG, SuJu, SNSD and 2NE1 went through the corruption too. G-Dragon even dissed MAMA. Despite the voting manipulation, EXO won one award in 2017 compared to their consecutive awards before that. We're not living and stuck on 2016 as what 'you 🐀' are saying. We just don't want to repeat what happened in 2017. 🙃 SO IF YOU'RE NOT ON OUR SHOE, SHUT UP. IF YOU DIDN'T EXPERIENCE WHAT WE FKCN EXPERIENCED. GET LOST. JUST WATCH AND SUPPORT YOUR FAVES, STOP DRAGGING OUR FAVES JUST TO PUT YOU UP. THE AWARDS ARE ALL YOURS, IF YOU THINK YOUR FAVE DESERVES IT. SO BE IT. LOL. But don't come at our faves.

i love you too man!!! thank you for your support to exo snd exols.

The fact that they've been in k pop for so long and r still loved and respected tells it all

This is is the most heartbreak for us 😭

Sheet i still remember that day!! I cried a looooot bcs of the unfairness ughhh i never watch mama since that year!

I remember getting excited because it was my first time seeing exo at MAMA when I first joined the exol fandom and I didn't know much about MAMA other than its the most awaited award show. I always watched exo' previous performance from years before at MAMA and it AMAZING so I was hyped about 2017 MAMA. What did I get at the end? Never in my life have I cried so much and be so angry over something like this. However, I'm still glad to be an Exol ✊🏻

Thank you for this reaction. Because you love exo as much as we do i think it just right that you should know about this too.

the fact that mnet continues to steal ideas from sm groups like for example nct now.. I'm just wondering why no one ever got them dragged to court.. there was a years long beef between sm and mnet but now suddenly they show a nct show and it kinda rubs me the wrong way when they steal their stuff constantly and with all the past issues with exo... 🐍🐍🐍 the mama logo for this year looks like the nct light stick like wtf?!

People need to understand just because their fav are not winning doesn't mean the one who own isn't deserving everyone works hard you need to respect that

*I COUDN'T EVEN FINISH WATCHING THIS VIDEO. I'M FKING SHAKING AND MY BLOOD BOILS SO MUCH HEARING THE WORD 'MNET/MAMA'. FREAKING SNAKES.* 🐍🐍🐍

I am a new Exo-l although its a bit too late. thank you for uploading this now I understand what really happened. Exo deserves more❤

The fact that Exo made MNET change their criteria proves they are the standard.

And another thing, there are so called "entertainment companies" who want to limit the name Exo in the US, they pay to not have Exo music enter the mainstream, even as another kpop band beside Bts...radio stations have been hushed by them even when American producers discovered Exo's talent and music as some of the catchiest pop music ever and try to push Exo to be recognized....some big wigs somewhere are trying to stop that. It's highly suspicious...a discussion on why is Exo not played in the US in Rolling Stone eluded to manipulation of airplay, and favoritism is encouraged....which only means money talks. I think that's so unfair.

Yes, they became stronger then ever after that year. i think after this, the bond EXO and EXOLs became even stronger too. Thank you, thank you for this. 💙

I can still clearly remember what happened that day when it live broadcast on our tv. Seeing exo didn’t won any category after category. My heart is beating so fast. I’m crying that the AOTY is the only one left they’ve receive when they did deserve it all. From winning in votings to digitals. My heart is about to explode that time when I saw them crying. I’m waiting for EXO 2025 to sweep this award shows again. I know they’ll come back stronger and powerful and exo-ls are all waiting for the kings to return.

This is one of the most painful moment in Exols history. I cry everytime

The best thing happened on MAMA was GDragon dissing MAMA and as fr MNet chanyeol dissing MNet ..... #WeAreOneEXO❤️❤️❤️

I love how SHNee and SuperJunior are right there supporting EXO.

10:40 In case you did’t notice, the purple light at the left top( actually right top irl, the video flipped the mama recording) is meant to represent Lay.

And yeah ever since that day no SM artist has ever been associated with Mnet but recently WayV went to MAMA 2019 and NCT 2020 is having their show on Mnet too so we’ll see...

At least Mnet had to acknowledge that they certainly stole awards from EXO. However, they didn't apologize. Also, that day was terrible. So many EXO-L around the world were watching live streams of K-EXOLs who attend to this event, and we saw this horrible videos of them being chased by the Mnet staff. There were more videos and photos where you could see the wounds that were left, some by the bars with which they were crushed. Hear the crying and fear in their voices while recording live what was happening left me with such a feeling of vulnerability.

I'm crying again. I can't forget this

Watching this again in the morning mad me so maaaad
