BIGBANG won many prizes including the grand prize “Artist of the Year” at the 2015 MAMA. Unfortunately, their special moment was bittersweet as most of the celebrities in the audience were not present on the stage to congratulate them. In fact, many celebrities left to go to their dressing rooms before PSY’s closing performance ended.

This fact did not go unnoticed and Taeyang commented on this during BIGBANG’s acceptance speech. He said, “It’s disappointing that many singers did not stay to congratulate us on receiving this award. It’s too bad because it would have been nice to have an exciting celebration. I hope we can bring you a more amazing performance next year.”

However, PSY and MONSTA X stayed behind to congratulate BIGBANG. Despite not being from the same agency, MONSTA X showed their seniors respect by not leaving early and congratulating BIGBANG sincerely.

Seungri posted a photo of the group and thanked MONSTA X personally.
