    The weekly trophy on music shows is a guarantee of the successful debut or comeback of Korean idols. 

    However, many times the broadcaster that organizes the program presents controversial awards, even being accused of cheating. 

    This makes the victories of the idols gradually lose value, not being fully happy.

    Recently, on the show Music Bank , Kep1er suddenly won against Nayeon (TWICE).

     Worth mentioning, that the song UP! of the rookie group has reached a maximum of 6000.

    This is also the final decisive number. 

    However, the audience is currently suspecting fraud, because Nayeon is a female idol with high coverage, as evidenced by her digital score and album sales are very stable even though solo.

    LE SSERAFIM and Lim Young Woong

    LE SSERAFIM is probably the most scandalous rookie of K-pop Gen 4. In addition to Kim Garam's "university sister" noise, the group is also suspected of cheating on the score on Music Bank program when winning over senior, Lim Young Woong.

    Accordingly, the song " Fearless " has recorded a broadcast score of more than 5000. While the rankings on the digital and album charts are not high, far behind the "trot prince". Worth mentioning, despite the huge coverage in Korea, the male singer's hotspot is a round zero. 

    Before this incident, many kimchi fans and media got involved, demanding clarification of LE SSERAFIM's victory.

    The rookie girl group HYBE Labels was opposed, and even sent a petition to clarify the hotspot. (Photo: KBS)

    BLACKPINK and GFRIEND

    On  Show Champion, GFRIEND won over BLACKPINK, EXO-SC, Zico and Hwasa (MAMAMOO). 

    However, the group received a trophy because at that time, the group's song Apple all lost in terms of digital and album scores compared to rivals How You Like That, 1 Billion Views, Summer Hate and Maria. 

    Fans thought that the trophy belonged to BLACKPINK because How You Like That's achievement was the best at that time.

    Both Hwasa and Zico's songs also create strong effects.

    EXO-SC is also not inferior to GFRIEND's supposed flop song.

    BLACKPINK and EXO-SC

    Music Bank is probably the most controversial music show when it comes to awarding trophies.

     Also in the comeback with How You Like That, BLACKPINK won overwhelmingly against EXO-SC. However, the show crew gave the wrong trophy to EXO-SC.

     This makes fans angry at the sloppy way of working, causing bad noise for the idols.

    TWICE and AOA

    TWICE's hit "Cheer Up" was popular, but KBS decided to give the trophy to AOA's "Good Luck".

    Like the case of BLACKPINK and EXO-SC, KBS also gave the trophy to AOA while TWICE was the winner. 

    After being heavily criticized, this station admitted the error in the scoring process.

    The station later admitted that there was an error in calculating the score.

    The weekly music show trophy, even though it's a small one, is still very important to K-pop idols. 

    However, the station's vague and negligent work makes this "credible" increasingly devalued.

  • Kang Ye Won Breaks Down in Tears, Says She’s ‘Destined to Never Marry’—Joins Dating Show for Her 83-Year-Old Father

    Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

    On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

    During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

    She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

    She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

    When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

    "It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

    However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

    She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

    Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
