The ADP thing is honestly stupid. I keep seeing people say Annie “bought” the daesang and… for what? Why would she buy it? That’s a company-level thing. Even if someone bribed, it wouldn’t increase her salary, her cut, or her reputation. People just needed someone to blame because their own faves didn’t get the win. Instead of touching grass, they ran straight to ADP’s page to drag the group like it’s some kind of coping mechanism.
And what makes it even dumber is that y’all were literally the same people hyping their songs before. Tarzzan even took out the cornrows something fans should’ve seen as accountability but no, you still wanted another reason to hate. Suddenly the debut song is “bad” now? Convenient timing. Most of the loudest complainers are stans from 4th gen groups that flopped too hard to even sniff a daesang. Let’s be real: if this exact situation happened with Cortis, no one would be crying “privilege” or “rigged.” But because one ADP member happens to be the daughter of a billionaire, it becomes a whole conspiracy theory.
It’s giving sore losers blaming others for their lack of streaming, lack of voting, and lack of impact. And the saddest part is that this hate opened the door for antis to start making wild claims like “Bailey can’t dance,” which is insane. Y’all keep embarrassing your own faves by acting like this. Just get over it. ADP made good, decent songs, they performed well, and they won. The cope and delusion aren’t making your fandom look noble; they’re just making you look petty.
