Where is JYJ on the list of nominees for 'Melon Music Awards'?

Earlier, we reported that voting began for the 2011 MMA's (Melon Music Awards). Top 30 finalists were announced by Melon, which included artists like Kim Bum Soo, Park Jung Hyun, Huh Gak, 2NE1, 2PM, 4minute, Girl's Day, TVXQ, B2ST, SECRET, G.NA, f(x), INFINITE, T-ara, GD & TOP, miss A, IU, K.Will, CNBLUE, Leessang, Davichi10cm, Super Junior, Big Bang, and more. However, one artist that was missing from the top 30 list was JYJ. Their absence from the nominees list drew many heated reactions from netizens, and once again, SM Entertainment is being accused in undertones of being the influencing factor. Some have been speculating that music award shows are showing reluctance about JYJ's appearance due to the conflicts with SM Entertainment. If JYJ makes an appearance on the show or receives and award, SM Entertainment could possibly refuse to attend the event. They speculate that the shows don't want to be burdened with the possibility of having SM Entertainment pull artists like f(x), TVXQ, Super Junior, and SNSD from attending. In response to these speculations, the MMA stated, "The Top 30 were determined by the amount of streaming (40%), downloads (50%), mobile (10%) on Melon... They were determined by the precise data collected, and JYJ did not make the top 30 from those data." JYJ released their fist official Korean album 'In Heaven' in September and have been receiving much love - selling over 300,000 copies even without music program appearances. Source + Photo: Naver
