1. [+207, -55] None of the singers just left because they got their awards and they were done. The ceremony was supposed to end at midnight but MAMA kept getting delayed and singers had to leave to get to their plane schedules. Taetiseo has a comeback showcase the next day while Red Velvet and SHINee have Czech concerts. EXO was backstage for their interview, and other teams had minor members so they couldn't even stay past 12 legally.
2. [+177, -51] SHINee and Red Velvet left and still missed their plane but they're getting all this hate because of Taeyang now. They're the ones who are late to their schedules ㅋㅋ
3. [+190, -73] It was wrong of him to say that about them without knowing what was actually going on
4. [+164, -61] This article speaks the truth~ it's not like Taeyang showed a great attitude when the other singers were receiving their awards
5. [+129, -27] Taeyang has no right to say that considering he comes from an agency that boycotts music shows and broadcast companies with their power play

1. [+1,152, -292] Of course Big Bang forgets everything they've done ㅋㅋㅋ what Taeyang said is basically spitting at his own face
2. [+835, -166] It's not like they could just skip on their schedules... he should be more understanding
3. [+826, -181] A rookie group like iKON who just barely debuted got 3 songs, 2NE1 who never promoted sang old songs, the so called seniors were fiddling on their phones while others were performing. The singers who actually promoted this year didn't even get to perform one stage and sat there for four hours clapping for everyone else. Then they were late to their own plane schedules and had to rush to leave while others were interviewing backstage... and what does Taeyang say about all of this? He's putting them down acting like he's some big adult.
4. [+374, -53] Legally, their commitment to their schedules are more important than this event. Secondly, his own juniors left the ceremony as well. Furthermore, he has no right to criticize any of this considering he left too when Seo Taiji was performing last year.
5. [+390, -70] Should've gave Seo Taiji the respect he deserved during his comeback yesterday. Give the same respect you want back!
'MAMA' Big Bang Taeyang's awards speech basically fanned the fire

1. [+191, -54] I guess he really is a fool, and not just because he didn't know what the leaning tower of Pisa was on 'Infinity Challenge'. He really has no right to be saying that...
2. [+176, -31] I was also surprised seeing iKON sing 3 songs with their rookie award!! Makes no sense!! Thumbs down YG
3. [+165, -38] Taeyang has no right to be saying this. Where was he when Twice was receiving their rookie award? From my memory, it was only a few members of EXO, Park Jin Young, and Taeyeon in the crowd. Big Bang only came out for hte awards they were nominated for ㅡㅡ But oh yeah~ Twice was just a rookie award and you guys were the daesangs so you think you deserve special treatment? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you have any shame, you should know that you should respect others if you expect the same respect back ㅡㅡ
4. [+30, -5] He has no consideration for the juniors who were forced to leave to make it to their plane schedules and he's basically whining that they weren't there to congratulate him. As if the ceremony wasn't controversial already for being a YG con and now he's being this shameless..
5. [+30, -5] So shameless ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I cancel what I said before about Taeyang being the only normal member in Big Bang
