The AAA 2020 awards ceremony is making BLACKPINK fans extremely angry for calling the wrong owner of the record for first-week album sales in girl groups.
- YG Entertainment Briefly Responds To Reports On BLACKPINK’s Contract Term And Individual Contracts
- All 4 BLACKPINK Members Renew Contracts For Group Activities With YG Entertainment
- BLACKPINK Becomes 1st K-Pop Artist In History To Hit 1.9 Billion Views With 2 MVs
As usual, the Asia Artist Awards (AAA 2020) ended in a fierce controversy that caused fandoms to "fight" each other fiercely. Thinking that BLACKPINK was out of the war because they did not attend, no one expected that AAA once again caused drama that made BLINK fandom was "boiling-blood" because the group's achievements were completely ignored.

At AAA 2020, when the host announced CRAVITY and IZ*ONE as the two winners of the "Potential Singer Award", the situation happened in the introduction about the girl group that came out of Produce 48. The quote reads: "IZ*ONE sets a record as the girl group with the highest first-week album sales".

After listening to this sentence, BLACKPINK fans suddenly felt… wrong! IZ*ONE used to be the girl group that sold the most albums in the first week, but the 4 YG girls already broke this record when making a comeback with "THE ALBUM" in October.
After 1 week on the shelves, BLACKPINK's debut album sold 689,066 copies, while IZ*ONE only sold 389,334 copies of Oneiric Diary. Therefore, BLACKPINK is the owner of the first week's record sales in girl groups.

4 girls even took photos with the girl group's first-week best-selling album certificate that the Hanteo chart gave them. However, what confuses most is that fans do not understand that AAA 2020 accidentally or intentionally ignores the group's achievements and calls IZ*ONE the owner of this record.

The confusion at AAA 2020 makes BLACKPINK fans extremely angry. The 4 YG girls are the girl group with the greatest achievement in 2020 but received no nominations in the Daesang category, their proud record is tied to another group that is considered "a drop of water."
To regain justice for BLACKPINK, BLINK has put the hashtag #AAA_ApologizetoBLACKPINK (AAA please apologize to BLACKPINK) to No.2 on Twitter's global trend. On the social network filled with comments criticizing AAA BTC, fans said that this award ceremony did not respect BLACKPINK, brushing off the group's efforts just because they did not attend.

Fans commented:
- Thought being invisible at awards is enough, even the sale album records were washed out, ridiculous!
- I feel like award ceremonies do not affirm the existence of BLACKPINK at all.
- Feeling that they don't take BLACKPINK seriously and brushing their best efforts away. Achievements are obvious like sunlight. It is true that do not go to this award, cheap!
- I don't know how to say it, although AAA is not an extremely important prize, it is also not a small prize but organizers didn't do well enough in collecting the achievements. Knowing that everyone has made, is, or will make a mistake, but a mistake like this is not allowed, because the achievement of one person assigned to another is like denying their effort. And especially in awards like this that the mistake in truly DISAPPOINTED!
Currently, AAA 2020 host has not made any action to correct BLACKPINK, which is the female group that set a record for the first week of album sales. This is not the first time that the 4 YG girls have been "invisible" in the eyes of awards ceremonies. Not long ago, fans were extremely disappointed when BLACKPINK did not enter the top 10 excellent artists, receiving Bonsang at the 2020 APAN Music Awards despite the number of votes and achievements on many other groups.
