We would like to sincerely apologize to fans who were worried as a result. The group, EXO as well as all of its members will be added to the list of Bonsang Award candidates.
Aside from EXO, we’ve also discovered another artist that was omitted from the Bonsang candidate list, and the case is currently under review. Regarding the added candidates to the Bonsang candidate list, we will release a formal notice on June 16.
We would like to once again apologize to fans for causing them confusion.
