Inkigayo

In 2015, Big Bang was banned from performing on SBS Inkigayo due to G-Dragon and T.O.P missing a first-place award acceptance stage on May 24, 2015, for their song "Loser." The absence was due to music video filming, which Inkigayo staff deemed an insufficient excuse, citing fairness to other groups. This led to a temporary ban, sparking controversy among fans, especially since Big Bang's song "Bang Bang Bang" was also added to voting charts 40 hours late, potentially affecting their chances of winning against SHINee's "View." This incident might be mistaken for a "banner" issue if fans displayed protest signs or if promotional banners were removed as part of the ban. However, no specific mention of a physical or digital banner being removed is documented in the sources.
