just the fact that wonyoung teared up because she genuinely felt so supported… and came out of that ceremony knowing that her nyeongrangdans truly do have her back and will be there for her in every new challenge she takes on 🥹 pic.twitter.com/Ev1VgmR9ki

Sadly, Wonyoung’s win seemed to become the center of hate, with many saying she didn’t deserve it or that the company had bought it. Yet netizens defended Wonyoung from the hate, emphasizing just how popular she is.
It’s not Wonyoung’s fault she has a loyal fanbase. She’s held her spot with little to no promo and without a solo cover. It’s not her fault you didn’t vote harder. And if she’s really a ‘nugu,’ why are you pressed that your fave didn’t win? The results are 100% fan-voted pic.twitter.com/HmztiyZsbN

i went on tiktok and saw videos of wonyoung receiving the award,went to the comments section and a certain fandom….not kkura’s but this other fandom is saying that this award that wonyoung received is irrelevant,and saying a bunch of other stuff dying she doesn’t deserve it. bfr
