• The Reason Why Music Bank's Explanation Has Raised Controversy Over Lim Young Woong's Alleged Score Manipulation

    Controversy continues over KBS2's "Music Bank" tallying singer Lim Young Woong's broadcast score of zero.

    On May 19th, KBS announced that as controversy continued over the standard of counting the number of broadcasts of KBS2's "Music Bank", the radio sector was counting seven programs of KBS Cool FM.

    In addition, KBS2's "Music Bank", which aired on May 13th, had a ranking period from the 2nd to the 8th, and Lim Young Woong's new song "Can We Meet Again" was not broadcast on KBS TV, radio, and digital content, which were counted during the period.

    But fans are still suspicious.

    They could not give up their doubts about the score manipulation, saying that the KBS radio selection list continues to change.

    In fact, it was confirmed that there was "Can We Meet Again" on the playlist of KBS Cool FM's "Exciting Night" on 4th at around 11 p.m. on May 18th.

    However, at the dawn of May 19th, Lim Young Woong's new song suddenly disappeared from the selection table, and later reappeared.

    In addition, the same phenomenon was found in selections such as KBS 2Radio "With Kim Hye Young" and KBS 2Radio "Lim Baek Cheon's Back Music".

    Lim Young Woong's fans who confirmed this continue to object to KBS, but KBS has yet to clarify its position.

    Meanwhile, while Lim Young Woong and girl group LE SSERAFIM were nominated for the first place on KBS2's "Music Bank", which aired on the 13th, Lim Young Woong's broadcast score was counted as zero, and LE SSERAFIM won the final first place.

    When Lim Young Woong, the "King of Trot", who sold more than 1.1 million albums, failed to win the top spot on KBS2's "Music Bank", many people are expressing doubts, and suspicions are still lingering.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
