On the third, a 20 year old woman who previously appeared on Mnet “Idol School” told a dongA reporter that, “the show initially promoted ‘fairness,’ but in actuality, it manipulated many aspects of the competition throughout filming.”
Police has been investigating both “Idol School” and four seasons of “Produce 101,” which have been allegedly manipulating votes.

She claimed that eight out of nine trainees who were selected to be in the final debut group fromis_9 had already signed contracts with CJ ENM before shooting began. “At first, I didn't know that when we began shooting, but after being on the show for more than five months, I found out because the trainees who signed with CJ ENM were telling the other contestants about their contracts.”

The contestant was also one of 4 trainees who participated in the audition and got in. The rest of the 37 trainees did not have to go through auditions in order to be cast on the show. Initially, a producer for the show told her not to participate in the audition but later told her, “you’re well-known, so it may seem questionable for you not to audition, so we would like it if you went through the audition process.” She also noted that, during the shooting of “Idol School,” one of the judges told her that they received a note telling them to not pick her (possibly in the final group).

The police is considering conducting an interview with this contestant as a reference in the developing case

i thought they were only three years?

If it’s true it’s even bigger than I thought. They should have used the money spend on the show to promote their pre-debut instead.

 

[Mayday]

Would have never guessed. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised though.

I honestly don't know what to think about this. It's a permanent group after all and this hits close to home for me ( since fromis is part of my ults).
I think they are perfect together and I would hate it if people would hold anything against them like that

 

[dooh]

omg !! **** mnet.. i guess it was the same with sixteen/Twice and all other "survival" shows (f.e momoland), all riged
