1. [+105, -7] So were all four shows rigged then? They shouldn't be getting away with just a fine, they should be forced to reveal all the names that were affected by the rigged votes, at least in consideration for the eliminated trainees and their families and fans.

2. [+56, -0] That's probably less than 1% of the money they made off the show

3. [+16, -0] Wow, that's barely anything!! I bet they made more money than that off the show

4. [+11, -3] Barely the cost of gum compared to all the money they've made... This is why the industry will never change. You can fine them all you want but it doesn't affect them at all. And they're not even revealing who the original line-up is supposed to be. We don't know anything about the victims, the victims aren't compensated at all... just a fine and it's over?? They're all in this together.

5. [+3, -0] If the fine is that little, then it's worth it for them to risk the hate and rig the votes anyway. Great if they don't get caught, barely a fine if they do get caught. 1% of their money is nothing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+3, -0] There's another survival show that Mnet is doing called I Land that is getting rage from fans because they're trying to cover up an attitude controversy of another member with false editing. There was even an instance of racism but the producers are dead set on debuting that member, and I feel so bad for the other kind trainees who are being affected by this.

7. [+2, -0] And this is why Mnet is rigging another show, I Land

8. [+2, -0] Only?
