It has been reported that IZ*ONE has been excluded from the nominee list for the second consecutive year as the list of nominees for each category has been revealed by the 'Golden Disc Awards.'
On the 10th, the 35th Golden Disc Awards unveiled the nominees in major categories, including the Digital Music Award, the Album Award, and the Rookie of the Year Award. Netizens will be able to see the candidates on the official page of the Golden Disc Award through the mobile starting December 10th and will be able to see them on the PC starting December 11th.
Top artists such as BTS, BLACKPINK, EXO, TWICE, ITZY, GOT7, NCT, TREASURE, Stray Kids, Kang Daniel, Red Velvet, MAMAMOO, MONSTA X, SEVENTEEN, Lim Young Woong, Zico, TXT, Oh My Girl, and A Pink placed their names on the list of nominees making the competition high.
Yet, IZ*ONE, which is the girl group that sold more than 450,000 copies of their album 'BLOOM I*Z' in February, was excluded from the nominee's list.
IZ*ONE, which was previously embroiled in controversy over vote manipulation with Mnet's 'Produce 101' series, was excluded from the list last year as well, along with X1.

Straight out bullshit at this point. Irregardless of the controversy, there were ... and I can't emphasize this enough... 450,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! people who bough their physical album. They didn't cheat those numbers; those were people who used their hard earned cash and purchased their albums and supported the group. In essence you are now cheating 450k people of their RIGHT TO VOTE. GDA can suck it... suck it long and hard.
