Basically, all idols had to wait in their cars/the parking lot for hours. Waiting rooms were only provided to actors and 2 idol groups (not named who).

Catering was set up outside actors' waiting rooms and idols were told to use the shared cafeteria inside the building. Most ended up having to buy burgers and snacks from nearby convenience stores. Portaloos were also used due to unavailability of toilets nearby. Some groups ended up renting rooms nearby for waiting lol.

I know this year the circumstances are different but if you must hold an awards show even then, least you can do is make all the necessary arrangements Mnet :wimwim:

Yeah they do seem like the probable groups lol.
Well all performances were prerecorded I think so most groups were only there to accept awards/give speeches, and not everyone got a chance to do that either so why even invite everyone when it can be all done remotely :nayeonisdone:

I've read somewhere its because of the venue they selected, some of the building nearby aren't completed yet and they can fit in a limited a number of people in the venue due to covid 19 measures.

Yeah I read that it was in a construction area and there were only 2 finished buildings :wimwim:
The choice of venue has been called into question as well lol.

I have 19 cards lol. I guess I'm close-ish to completing DC (I have 5/7 cards) and RV (3/5 cards).

I'm looking to also complete all my GG faves card sets.

From what i read it was kinda a CF.
they claim the presenters had to be inside since they did not get to rehearse.
So there is that since it was all pre recorded no rehearsals ect. The day was not as crazy hard/long for the idols.

The worst part is the time from red carpet to when they could do the thank you speak and bail had to be long.

And i would bet BoA got a room before twice, i kinda hope poor winter did not have to share with her that might have been even more uncomfortable ....
