Police have launched investigations into Lim Young-woong's suspicious '0 point' broadcast score.
On the 28th, Yeongdeung-po Police Station received a report to investigate whether Lim Young-woong's 'Music Bank' rankings were properly calculated and assigned the case to the department in-charge.
A police official stated, "We need to check whether the rankings were really manipulated according to the contents. We have already started reviewing the relevant legal principles during pre-investigation."
Lim Young-woong's '0 point' broadcast score resulted in HYBE rookie group Le Sserafim getting #1 on Music Bank's broadcast despite Lim Young-woong overwhelming 'digital' and 'album' score.
Dispatch's investigation also showed Lim Young-woong's song was selected and aired on a number of radio programs and other KBS programs on the 7th raising further suspicions.
- [+776, -151] They're using investigative personnel for everything... is there really nothing much for them to do?
- [+418, -87] Lim Young-woong's digital score was much higher and they gave him '0 points' for broadcast?? It's indeed quite suspicious so of course they have to investigate this. I've heard his song many times on the radio.
- [+326, -45] It's honestly very questionable that Lim Young-woong's song kept disappearing
- [+192, -17] 0 points after he appeared on a number of shows.. isn't their rigging a bit much?
- [+134, -17] Lets investigate the bribes these broadcast companies are taking in from the back.
- [+95, -5] No matter how you look at it, the whole thing was really strange. This only blew up because it was Lim Young-woong. A lot of singers have suffered a lot of damage at the hands of KBS' production team. Be sure to investigate their connections to the 'Big 3.' This isn't just for Lim Young-woong but all other singers.. make sure to clarify it thoroughly!
- [+72, -6] He won by a landslide in the 'album' score but lost because of '0 point' broadcast score while a rookie won over him with 5,000 points? This is just.. this is why broadcast points shouldn't be a category used to determine 1st place on a music program.
- [+47, -0] But is this really the first time this happened? It's clear a thorough investigation has been needed so that talented singers don't suffer from broadcast manipulations anymore.
- [+42, -0] This isn't unique to just Le Sserafim but it has to be investigated thoroughly to avoid this from happening in the future.
- [+47, -16] Stock price manipulations, thesis plagiarism, career forgery.. all this in one year ㅋㅋ
- [+34, -6] This is clearly broadcasting company's "gapjil." Are they taking the viewers for fools?
- [+31, -5] Police really have nothing to doㅋㅋㅋ
