The group BTS won four music broadcast crowns with the title song "GOTOCOM" of the new album , but they did not participate in the music broadcast of the radio station MBC, so their background attracted attention.

BTS started with (mnet) on the 16th, participated in (KBS2) on the 17th, and participated in (SBS) on the 19th, showing their The colorful stage won the first place.

Although (MBC) also won the first place, it can be explained that BTS did not appear in the radio music program. The conflict between the company HYBE and the radio station is deep.

The conflict between the two parties can be traced back to the 2019 Cultural Broadcasting Year-End Music Festival "Gayo Daejeon". At that time, BTS was preparing to perform on the Times Square stage in New York, USA. Although they did not participate in the "Gayo Daejeon" held on December 31 of that year, it was reported that HYBE went abroad after completing the year-end music program on Korean radio and SBS. (Big Hit at the time) proposed to record in advance instead of live broadcast, but the radio production team rejected the proposal.

The radio station's revenge ensued, and TXT and GFRIEND failed to stand at the held that year. Festival> On stage. TXT and BTS are under the same management company, and GFRIEND is the signature girl group of SOURCE MUSIC acquired by HYBE. The following year, TXT was also canceled from participating in the festival's signature variety show "Idol Track and Field Championship"

SEVENTEEN, who returned with their 7th mini-album in June 2020, was unable to appear on "Showi Music Center". This was decisive because HYBE acquired SEVENTEEN's agency pledis until now.

HYBE's ENHYPEN, FROMIS_9, etc. also did not appear in "Show! Music Center"

HYBE did not wait for the next year on December 31, 2020. , HYBE gathered its singers for a joint performance. The performance that day was held on the same date as MBC's "Gaeo Daejeon", and a large number of HYBE's singers were absent from the "Gaeo Daejeon" last year. The singers held a joint performance. Idol groups usually perform on multiple music radio stages after their debut or release of a new album, but HYBE's singers made an exception and did not participate in MBC music radio programs.

Conflicts between the company and major planning companies have made it difficult for fans to enjoy various stages. The same goes for singers. Even if a new song appears, there will be one less terrestrial broadcast stage, which will have a detrimental effect on increasing the popularity of the new song.
