1. [+602] Mnet has a history of rigging their shows but so does Starship with 'Produce 101' so it can't be helped that people feel weird about this

2. [+490] It's hard to trust them since they have a history with 'Produce 101'... Feels like it's just unfair to WJSN because of Mnet

3. [+381] Mnet is both the shadow and reality of K-Pop. There are a few very close relationships between companies in K-Pop that basically rig the whole industry, much like K-Sports.. It doesn't help that they're known for a show that exploited the hard work of trainees by rigging the rankings. Mnet is really doing the most at pulling K-Pop down into the pits. WJSN, Loona, Viviz, Kep1er, Hyorin, Brave Girls, the MCs all worked very hard.

4. [+157] Goosebumps ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can't trust Mnet even if I want to because of what they've done in the past... makes me wonder what WJSN did to deserve this

5. [+101] Whatever the case, I just hope this doesn't make things awkward between Viviz and WJSN ㅜㅜ

6. [+190] This season had none of what made the previous season successful, which is showcasing unrivaled talent like Mamamoo or (G)I-DLE or rediscovering hidden gems like Oh My Girl. Hyorin was amazing but she's a solo so her stages started looking similar by the end of the season while the other groups overall weren't lacking in talent but didn't show any particular star quality. If anything, it just reaffirmed why they never got famous in the first place... They hyped Hyorin up in the beginning only for her to end up last in the second half, and the viewers were left wondering what just happened with the fandom fights between WJSN and Loona at the end where the greater number won

7. [+47] Starship never even bought WJSN any balloons for their birthdays! It makes no sense that Starship would shell out any money to get them a win on 'Queendom'. WJSN won fair and square!

8. [+26] Mnet is so annoying... there's never a show they don't have a controversy in

9. [+269] I heard that Starship and Mnet had a poor relationship over something to the point where WJSN couldn't even perform on 'M! Countdown' during their comeback. Things got better over 'Queendom 2'. Considering how much hate Mnet already got over rigging 'Produce 101', I don't think they'd be foolish enough to pull something like that again? And Mnet has already released an official statement so please read that as well.

10. [+109] My personal opinion is that Loona had more media hype but WJSN's stages felt like they worked harder to prepare

11. [+94] In the first season of 'Queendom', Mamamoo may have won but it was really #2 and #3 (G)I-DLE and Oh My Girl who had more to gain. Seeing as how the winners played out the first season, I really see no reason why anyone would try to rig anything to win #1 when the other groups got just as much attention. I'd rather be #2 or #3 without any controversy than be #1 with a chance of controversy.

12. [+36] Loona would've won #1 if they had started with the first episode ㅜ
