Singer Im Young-woong has missed the 'Music Bank' number one spot with a score of 0 in 'Broadcast Number Score', and the voice calling for kbs's explanation is growing.
Im Young-wong confronted the new group LE SSERAFIM in kbs2 music program 'Music Bank' broadcast on the 13th.
Im Young-woong's "Can I Meet Again" was ranked # 1 on the Mnet music program "M Countdown" on the 12th, overwhelmingly outpacing Singer Sai's new song.
However, "Music Bank"'s top spot on the day was "FEARLESS" by LE SSERAFIM, which had a final score of 7881. It was 850 points clear of Im Young-woong, who had 7035 points.
Im Young-woong had a digital soundtrack score of 1148, which was 604 points higher than LE SSERAFIM's 544, and the record score was 3930 points.
Im Young-woong and LE SSERAFIM ranked the number of broadcasts. LE SSERAFIM scored 5348 points in the number of broadcasts, while Im Young-woong scored 0 points.
Im Young-wong, who recorded overwhelming results in the first sales volume of the album and soundtrack site soundtrack ranking, is not convinced that it is pushed out because of the number of broadcasts.
In the first sales volume of the actual album, Im Young-wong exceeded 1 million copies in three days after the sale, followed by a solo Singer record of 1.2 million copies in seven days. LE SSERAFIM recorded 300,000 albums in the same period.
Im Young-wong's fans are asking the kbs City hall rights center to disclose the score calculation criteria that determine the ranking of 'Music Bank'.
One netizen said, "Music Bank is a program that gives a lot of broadcasts. "Please clarify the percentage of the number of broadcasts accurately." He posted a petition, which received 1809 consents at 2 pm on the 14th.
In addition, there are a total of about 30 petitions that question the fairness of the Music Bank ranking.
It is said that 60% of digital soundtrack, 20% of broadcasting frequency score, 10% of City hall preference, and 5% of music sales and Social media are respectively.
The controversial 'score of number of broadcasts' based on the newly changed method is added to the number of TV programs, digital contents, and radio programs produced by kbs. It also includes kbs YouTube web entertainment programs.
LESERAFIM appeared on kbs YouTube contents such as 'Music Bank', 'Idol Human Theater' and 'Limousine Service' in the first week of debut, and got a high score in the number of broadcasts, but Im Young-wong seems to have been processed as 0 points because there was no appearance in the first week of comeback broadcasting program.
The netizens commented, "I do not understand that it is 0 points," "Do not anyone know the criteria for calculating the score," "Do not you have to disclose the number of broadcasts?" And "Is not it their own way?"
Also, LE SSERAFIM, who appeared in kbs YouTube web entertainment program, received a high score, and it is useless to say, "It is a shame to score a YouTube appearance," "soundtrack, music video, Is it necessary to put a face on the contents of my YouTube content? "
In addition, BIGBANG's "Spring Summer Autumn Winter", which released a new soundtrack in four years at the end of last month, raised doubts about the standard, citing the score of 22 broadcasts.
"BIGBANG, which does not shine on the face, had a score of broadcasts," said one nurse. "Is not it ridiculous?
Meanwhile, this is not the first time that the unfair controversy of the 'Music Bank' ranking is over.
In the third week of March, Singer Kim Woo-seok beat Taiyeon to the top spot. At that time, Kim Woo-suk exceeded the total score of 4185, which Taeyeon earned only by the number of broadcasts.
As the number of broadcasts is different from the popularity of the audience, there is a growing voice that the 'Music Bank' score calculation method should be disclosed.
