Netizens are claiming that Mnet rigged the final vote count for 'Produce X 101.'

In a post shared on Instiz on the 19th, netizens provided alleged proof of the manipulation, sharing differences between the 1st to 11th rankings.

According to netizens, the fact that the differences all equaled 29,978 was suspicious. Another netizen also found that the number of votes and their differences on some of the rankings were multiples and sums of each other.

The netizen said, "The differences between the rankings are exactly the same that so many people are saying it's either an error or manipulation. Even if they claimed that they increased the vote count because they were popular it wouldn't make sense. If these are truly the correct voting results, this PD needs to buy a lottery ticket."

Other netizens found that several of the rankings between 1st to 19th also equaled the same number.

Netizens left various comments asking for explanations on the similarities uncovered saying:

"Please explain it quickly"
"Wow, is that even possible? Was there an error?..."
"It's really weird"
"They need to explain what happened"
"It'll be daebak if it's real...it really seems like there was an error or manipulation.."

In the meantime, Produce X 101 finalized it's top 11 rankings for debut group 'X1' as follows:
