Source: Investigations reveal the depth of corruption in 'Produce X' and 'Idol School'

Knew the mission song ahead of time, picked even without attendance"... a mess of 'Produce X' and 'Idol School'

Comments:
1. [+1,059, -11] So everyone was in on it. I'm sure there were so many kids who desperately wanted this but they were basically extras for the real show. This isn't a case of evil editing, they're just straight up devils.

2. [+771, -10] Turn everything back to the way it should've been, you trash

3. [+726, -6] Take the show off air

4. [+68, -4] Reminds me of Sohye who wanted to be a singer

5. [+65, -12] So a portion of the trainees were basically sacrifices

6. [+53, -1] Investigate Wanna One too. I remember that one #1 kid randomly got dropped and then some random kid shot up along with a Chinese kid. I bet you that was rigged too.

7. [+52, -6] I could already tell with C-list kids being all "Trust me and send me to A" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+49, -0] The money they earned from votes should be refunded as well, this is a national scam

9. [+33, -7] How are people going to trust audition shows at all anymore?

10. [+24, -0] Kim Sohye ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


So Mnet's has quite many shows they were rigging and not only votes, also how the shows themselves worked. If these are rigged, just imagine how rigged the MAMA's are.. I really hope Mnet gets heavy punishment for this all.

This really upsets me. Who knows how many other shows they’ve rigged?

"How are people going to trust audition shows at all anymore?"

Did they ever?

They shouldn’t start dropping names like this without the conclusion of the investigation.

It’s dissapointing but expected.

Well it implies that the trainees aren’t as innocent as fans claim (which will stir up even more controversy). This is much worse than simply rigging the votes as it would mean that for all the nondebuting trainees, they never really had a chance.

What you mean? Show names? Cause i think they all ready have concluded search with some shows?

They necessary aren't innocent, though I'm sure they were made to sign NDA's about inner workings of the show. But they might have been aware that Mnet was pushing them as member, or that even their companies were paying Mnet to push them or make them as member if that happened.

I rly feel bad for those trainees that weren't really given even screentime, they got next to nothing appearing on these rigged shows.

We knew since long ago about Mnet's trickery, the MAMA's being the most obvious of them all (esp. from 2013 and onwards). This should serve as lesson for the fans, to stop being so naive when it comes to this kind of shows.

If you ask me, I'd say all their Produce shows are rigged.

I think it's sth that fans know in extent, but kinda try to ignore. I just hope Mnet being caught this badly would bring some changes to industry that they would realize that public won't be ok with this. Though i think it might be lost cause, Mnet probably won't be hurt too bad by this nor will Produce groups.

I needed no investigation to know Lee Gaeun was robbed.

Poor girl, i thought Produce would rly be the show that got her somewhere and she would have deserved it too, i rly liked her attitude in show.

She literally took on the role of mother after Matsui Jurina left. She deserved much much better.

You can already tell that Mnet does favours shall we say for MAMA as there are some awards where 1 group will win that award on every other show but MAMA will give it to another group

I honestly don't find this shocking....it'd be like being shocked by reality shows being scripted

It's angering and unfair to the trainees that wanted a chance but is really no different from how shows are run
