With less than a month until the 2022 Mnet Asian Music Awards, which will be held on November 29-30 in Japan, everyone is in full voting mode.

Despite the fact that voting for the event only began a week ago, a controversy has already erupted after a netizen noticed a suspicious occurrence in the "World's Fans Choice" category, suspecting an illegal manipulation of the numbers.

Posting on Pann on November 2 with the title "MAMA 2022 Votes Graph With Idols Whose Votes Are Thought to Be Illegal," the netizen writes, "Each team has a different number of votes on the Y-axis. So you have to look at the graph and take the numbers into account."

In addition, the netizen said, "The graphs of teams that are thought to have gotten illegal votes" and listed the graphs of these groups who allegedly had an odd number of votes.

IVE

Loona

Dreamcatcher

Kep1er

Brave Girls

In comparison, the netizen then listed the groups whom he thinks to have a non-suspicious number of votes in a graph.

Aespa

BLACKPINK

BTS

Stray Kids

ITZY

SEVENTEEN

NCT 127

NCT Dream

TXT

Enhypen

TWICE

Treasure

ATEEZ

In short, the netizen took the time to record the online voting in a chart, revealing the suspicious manipulation by doing so.

They add that they have nothing against the artist or their fans.

The netizen then said, "Like the top boy groups, the team suspected of cheating sees its votes go up by more than 10K. Since this is a category where votes decide everything, Mnet needs to say something clear about it."

Other netizens then commented:

Isn't this just a case of fans voting as a group?

>But don't you think the other groups are also voting in large numbers?

>No matter how many mass votes they get, it's crazy that they're getting up to 10,000 votes per day like Bangtan.

Why does this always happen to MAMA?

Even if you said that all of the votes came from the artists tweeting about it from their official accounts, the votes are going up too quickly.

Can they really be getting over 10,000 votes like Bangtan? And so quickly as well

There has never been a time when MAMA's votes weren't talked about.

IT's indeed weird…

Can't we at least name the other groups?

All of these are female idols, and what's worse is that all of these groups are at the bottom of the charts right now. No matter what, everyone knows that it's very hard to beat male idols, so why use illegal votes?

I hope something is done about it.

Isn't this just too clear? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It doesn't look like they even tried to hide it.

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
