The 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards on November 14 has become a hot topic—not for its performances, but for the heated debate surrounding ALLDAY PROJECT’s shocking Daesang win in the Grand Honor’s Choice category.
The rookie group achieved their first-ever Daesang, becoming the second-fastest group in history to claim one. But instead of universal celebration, the result immediately drew skepticism, with many netizens accusing the win of being “rigged” due to alleged family connections involving member Annie Moon.
Shortly after the ceremony, a fan-taken clip capturing the reactions of several attending idols went viral, gaining hundreds of thousands of views. The video showcased members of ATEEZ, THE BOYZ, MEOVV, and others, with their expressions being interpreted as everything from “confused” to “annoyed” to “holding back shade.”
The video uploader labeled the reactions as humorous and relatable, but online commenters took things further echoing concerns about the legitimacy of the win.
Below the viral TikTok, one user wrote: “Their reactions are so f—ing valid 😭… It was supposed to be a funny video!”
Screenshots of the clip further fueled the discussion, as fans dissected micro-expressions, glances, and body language of other groups during the announcement.
Across platforms, users continued to debate whether the group deserved the award:
- This doesn’t make sense unless someone pulled strings.
- The reactions tell you everything.
- Even idols look confused.
While some defended the group, insisting that backlash was unfair, many insisted that the reactions reflected broader industry skepticism.
The ongoing discussion has made the video one of the most shared KGMA-related clips this year, boosting the controversy rather than settling it.
