There are speculations that this decision was made because of the conflict between Big Hit Ent. and MBC. Big Hit Ent. has officially becomes Pledis Ent.'s largest sharheolder last month.
Pledis Ent.'s reps also revealed that they won't be explaining further more regarding this topic.
-MBC claims that they have invited Seventeen to promote in their show, but Pledis chooses to not explain further more about the topic. It's game overㅋㅋㅋ
-Seems like Pledis is the one who refused the offer, since they said they won't be explaining further more...
-It's a cold war between these two parties, our opinions won't even matter to themㅋㅋㅋ
-Does that mean they won't be participating on ISAC too?
-Well, there are a lot of other music shows anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They're not saying that they 'can't' promote in that music show, they're saying that they 'won't' be promoting in that music show...
-No wonder why that music show is boycotted... They're bossy
-Seventeen's fans must be so raged to hear this... I mean, they're losing a music show to promote on...
-On the other side, I'm happy that they won't have to participate on ISAC anymoreㅋㅋ
-They still can win #1 without performing in the music show...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's just one music show, everyone... There's a lot of other music shows. Besides, they still can win #1 without performing in the music show. It's not a big deal.
-SM Ent.'s artists are doing well without promoting themselves in Mnet. And MBC is so much smaller than Mnet, so I think they're going to be just fine.
-They're not promoting in MBC because MBC has some conflicts with Big Hit...
