In an official statement, LG U+ confirmed the use of non-existing phone numbers to create fraudulent user IDs to vote for the awards. They didn’t disclose the exact method in fear of creating more harms but announced those who have committed such act will be held accountable for the action. According to LG U+, group ‘A’ generated 168 illegal votes and group ‘B’ generated 184,332 illegal votes in total.

I honestly don't know what to think of it. It's defently wrong to vote with fake accounts but I would not hate on any fandom that does this since I am sure that most fandoms have individuals that are using methodes to give their fave more votes.

I mean it's good when you faves win, but is winning that important?
anyway I think I heard about this issue before, but I don't really know what to say, sometimes I don't understand fans at all

I think the whole thing is stupid and I was really mad at exolab for doing it but seeing they had 168 illegal votes compared to 180k makes me mad that they were the ones targeted.
