SBS has released an official explanation about malicious rumors that staff criticized TWICE's stage.

SBS' YouTube channel 'SBS Kpop' clarified the rumors in a statement shared at the end of TWICE's encore video that aired on the 14th. 

SBS Kpop stated, "There are rumors that SBS staff criticized TWICE's 1st place encore performance today. To get to the point, this was a simple happening [coincidence] but we want to apologize first for posting the video without organizing the audio."

According to SBS, the controversial audio mixed in the "fancam" video was a copy of CM's advertisement that aired after the main broadcast of 'Inkigayo'. When the voice in the ad "complete my intellectual image" was mixed in with TWICE's encore stage fancam, some netizens speculated it was the staff's backbiting, causing rumors to spread. 

SBS stated, "If someone criticized your favorite singer without any grounds you'd be angry. We apologize for not paying enough attention causing such a misunderstanding to happen to someone you love. SBS Kpop team feels the same way as the fans do. We apologize to TWICE, JYP and the fans."

1. [+1,443, -92] So the CF copy hit them with the facts?
2. [+1,303, -112] I think they're going to be scared of winning first place in the future..
3. [+520, -24] Shouldn't TWICE be reflecting on themselves rather than criticizing the staff? How many years has it been and they have yet to improve their skillsㅜ? If you're a singer you should sing well. They're basically a dance group. Not one singer in the group. I hope they can show a better performance next time.
4. [+429, -232] If you look at TWICE's ballad stage when they're not dancing you can clearly see their singing ability https://youtu.be/Qxx8B9Hh4Cs. I see people say that some of the members are really good singers and they don't do lip sync or AR on live broadcasts but you know that's not true right? TWICE is the first Korean idol to lip-sync on Yoo Hee Yeol's sketchbook https://youtu.be/v-irYiuDdE4. Even foreign fans openly criticize them in YouTube comments. They proudly call them Queens of Lipsync.
5. [+138, -2] I really hate the song
6. [+134, -25] They should've come out on QueenDom and been put in place by OhMyGirl or (G)-IDLE
7. [+125, -28] "Wow, they really can't sing. So is "They" the phrase from the CF? What kind of CF?
8. [+113, -5] Does that fix TWICE's terrible pitch?
9. [+104, -13] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ this excuse is so ridiculous on par with IU's excuse of visiting the sick
