ENGENEs Call Out “37th Golden Disc Awards” For Allegedly Mistreating ENHYPEN
The 37th Golden Disc Awards recently took place in Bangkok, Thailand, and fans are celebrating their faves wins. While ENHYPEN won big during the night and put on an amazing performance that fans enjoyed, ENGENEs couldn’t help but notice the mistreatment directed at the group.
ENHYPEN were one of the many groups that attended the GDAs, but also one of two that also participated in the press conference for the event, where they stunned with their IRL visuals.
Fans were initially excited about the ceremony but have issues with several things that happened during the show.
First, ENHYPEN were not interviewed on the red carpet like the other groups. While the MC claimed that it was so they could prepare for their performance, they did not get to introduce themselves either.
Okay so enhypen's red carpet for gda is so weird, they weren't given mics and the mc said they had to prepare for the performance so couldn't do an interview but they didn't even get to introduce themselves. "One, two connect, we are enhypen" won't take an hour for them to say+ pic.twitter.com/snFhkEydA5

Next, the group were not given a chance to do the “Polaroid Love” dance challenge, and two members were just interviewed by the hosts about it instead.

Fans also did not like that ENHYPEN accepted their award while the artists’ area was completely empty. Other artists that won awards were given standing ovations from their peers that were there.
Congratulations boys! Enha really be doing great tho i'm a bit sad that gda let them accept their award w/o even a single artist on the area.. they didn't even dance for polaroid love now this.. anyways they're still one of the main event 🔥pic.twitter.com/4Sr7Vvxi7g

Finally, fans say the camerawork during ENHYPEN’s stage was not well done, despite the group putting on an amazing performance.

I can't be the only one that noticed enhypen's mistreatment… They didn't get a red carpet interview, didn't perform their tiktok challenge and got an award that another group also got…

gda is really fcked up. no interview during red carpet, missed queue for pola love challenge (only them that didn't get to do the tiktok challenge for their own songs), artist area was empty when they received the award
