1. [+1,910, -33] I feel bad for her ㅠㅠ CJ ran 'Superstar K' too and I always felt suspicious about that as well. They kept pushing Jung Jun Young and it was obvious they were making him into a star when he couldn't sing worth a damn... MAMA should be boycotted as well. How could you hold it in Japan at a time like today's, tsk tsk. I remember the daesangs always went to the most ridiculous songs too ㅋㅋ

2. [+1,395, -55] CJ has been infamous for rigging results in favor of a certain agency for a long time. The old MAMA (Mnet Awards) basically rigged daesangs from 2009 to 2014 to give it all to YG. They're in a fight with YG now so you don't see their artists with them anymore but they always gave awards to Big Bang, 2NE1, and G-Dragon. Last year it was JYP's Twice, a song that didn't even rank in the top 20-30 on the annual charts. CJ has continued their manipulative streak all the way to launching their own idols, and look how they ended up now.

3. [+1,275, -38] Mnet rigging votes is not news. There were a lot of MAMA daesangs where foul play was suspected, especially with YG benefitting off of it. CJ doesn't need YG anymore since they're able to produce their own idols and cut ties immediately~

4. [+109, -7] I understand the trainees not being able to do anything since they're rookies but obviously other trainers and singers had to have seen the filming environment? So all of them just stayed quiet for the money and didn't speak up?

5. [+70, -0] All that matters, in the end, is what agency you're under. Look at JYP's male group Stray Kids. I've never seen them once on the digital charts, they're total nugus, and yet they won every rookie award last 2018 year-end ㅋㅋ Everyone can act clean and all but they're all the same behind the scenes.

6. [+56, -5] Nowadays it's JYP's singers taking all the awards ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+42, -0] I mean... aside from the rigging, why would they make the kids starve while they order take out? And they didn't even let the kids out to go to the convenience store or anything. Isn't that child abuse?

8. [+40, -4] Can't trust Mnet audition shows anymore. Mnet had a real cash cow with all their audition shows and they blew it all.

9. [+35, -2] I always thought she was pretty and talented and wondered why she wasn't catching more steam... but I guess we know the reason now. I hope she's the final winner in the end.

10. [+24, -2] I always thought there was something fishy about the show. They made them sleep on small beds in a doll house, very strong Japanese vibes...
