Singer Im Young-woong missed the foreseen number one spot - it was the number of broadcasts that caught his ankle. In fact, KBS was in a position to make an official answer, pointing out that it is not a 'gap' of the broadcaster.
The beginning of the case began when Singer Im Young-woong and group LE SSERAFIM faced each other as the first candidate in KBS2 music broadcasting program Music Bank, which aired on the 13th.
Im Young-woong was expected to be the number one player in the Music Bank stage on the day because he overtook World Star Psy in the Mnet music broadcasting program M Countdown just the day before.
The result was a reversal: Hive's rookie girl group LE SSERAFIM scored a final score of 7331, beating Im Young-woong with 7035 points to take first place.
Both Im Young-woong and LE SSERAFIM caught on the broadcast camera were surprised.
It was the broadcasting score that divided their happiness. Im Young-wong was significantly different from LE SSERAFIM in digital soundtrack score (604 points) and record score (3930 points), but recorded '0 points' in the number of broadcasts, which was 5348 points different from LE SSERAFIM and eventually affected the ranking.
Not only the heroic era, which is an Im Young-woong fandom, but also the general public are questioning.
Im Young-wong, who had an overwhelming popularity in the first sales volume of the album and soundtrack site soundtrack rankings, is justified to be pushed out of the rankings with simple number of broadcasting scores.
In the first sales volume of the actual album, Im Young-wong surpassed 1 million copies in three days after the sale, and surpassed 1.2 million copies in seven days, setting a new Solo Singer record. LE SSERAFIM recorded 300,000 albums in the same period.
Im Young-woong title song Can I Meet Again was a car that continued to record six gold medals in the categories of Gaon album charts, digital, download, BGM, ringtones, and call connections during the Music Bank tally.
A, who is a member of the hero era, pointed out in this paper, "It is beyond common sense that Im Young-wong, who had six gold medals in various rankings, was pushed out of the rankings with only simple number of broadcasts."
Earlier, Music Bank announced that it would calculate 60% of digital soundtrack, 10% of City hall preference, and 20% of the number of broadcasts, but the actual number of broadcasts was more than 5,000 points, so the fairness was also affected.
The 'Music Bank' City hall bulletin board is filled with a procession of those who demand clarification from the production team. There are more than 30 petitions for the KBSCity hall Self-Corruption Center City hall petition to disclose the exact calculation method of the Music Bank ranking, which featured Im Young-wong.
There were also few opinions that the 'Music Bank' score calculation method itself was old-fashioned. Some point out that the fact that the top position has been reversed only by the number of appearances on the show is actually the 'Gapjil' of the broadcaster.
Another hero era member, B, said in his paper, "If you take the first place with only the number of broadcasts, you can not be the first with your agency's capital and broadcasters."
“The situation has also caused the public opinion to be overshadowed by the LE SSERAFIM, and even in order to explain it, Music Bank should make a clear explanation,” he said.
C, a member of the same group, also sarcastically said, "If you are ranked first in music broadcasting with performances such as entertainment and broadcasting, is not 'Music Bank' but 'Bank'?"
There is also an organized movement to boycott Music Bank if there is no clear explanation in the 'Music Bank' City hall bulletin board and related communities.
The City hall petition, which calls for transparency of Music Bank, exceeded 1,000 people within 30 days, which is the answer requirement in a few hours of petition.
“Im Young-woong contributed to KBS by the end of the year alone show, but I was disappointed by the Music Bank incident,” said a member of the Heroic Age, D., who said in the paper, “and if there is no clear explanation, I will continue to demand it until there is an explanation.”
