Instiz: Kim Yong Ho's tweets regarding digital chart manipulation

"As if buybacks weren't enough, I recently received a report about an entertainment company spending upwards of $100,000 USD to hire hackers to manipulate the digital music chart. Which company do you think it is? (You bet that I'm going to go strong on this articleㅋ)"

"Of course, the companies are a problem but Mnet and Loen are also just as guilty for not only dominating the distribution market but even producing their own songs and spamming them up the chartsㅋ."

"Jeez, is it really that hard to ask for some fairness?"

"Wow, which company could it be? It's going to be a mess if people ever find out who it is."

"This is going to be fun ㅋㅋㅋ"

"Who is it ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ"

"Then is he hinting that their distributor is Loen??? I have a feeling it's a girl group, a specific one..."

"Wow, I really hope they get to the bottom of this... I just hope it isn't the agency of my favorite artist..."

"Isn't there a famous company known for these things? Especially with buybacks... ㅋㅋㅋ"

"Hurry up and release the article, we're all curious."

"It's always the agencies that end up screwing their artists over in the end."

"I have a feeling I know which company it is but he should hurry up and release his article so that innocent groups aren't put on the chopping block."

"This really is going to cause quite a stir..."

"What a 'brave' crime to be committing when everyone is watching the charts like a hawk these days."

"So I guess the rumors running around Hanteo charts were true... I was just staying quiet because I wasn't sure."

"Okay, I think if it's the group we're all thinking about it, it's not the company that's doing this but their composer."

"This was all over Hanteo but no one ever had any evidence..."

"To give everyone who doesn't know a hint, think of that one composer famous for manipulating the digital charts... His songs are always at the top of the charts when they shouldn't be."

"Why is everyone in the media releasing teasers through SNS now."

"I think that company is very 'brave' to be doing what they're doing."
