Boys Planet under fire for rigged votes from China

 In China, there's an app that allows users to duplicate apps on a single device for just 2,200 KRW (~$2 USD). This means that users can create multiple accounts with just one device. This app allows users to multiply their votes rapidly by turning on airplane mode and deleting the cache. The attached photo is an example of this. 



Then, you can create multiple accounts and use them allㅇㅇ


The app's name is '分身～' which means 'clone' (It literally means that you can create multiple accounts with just one device). If you look at the proof pictures below, you'll see that they all say '分身～'. It proves that the owner uses this app to vote.

'I voted 60 times today. Guys, use 'XXX' to vote!'

This person also used that app to vote 36 times.

Proves of fans voting with this app continuously surface online


Seems like a lot of you still don't know that you can download the Cloning Master app from the app store on Android and simply enter my referral code to receive unlimited clones for one month. You can vote an infinite number of times without spending any money by signing up, it's very simple!

If you leave your own referral code down below or enter someone else's referral code, you can also receive free unlimited clones. 

I think this app is already popular among China fans??! With the benefits of referral codes and VIP memberships, it's hard to imagine how many votes one person could secure. Considering they don't only use their personal cellphones, but also their family and friends' phones, one person could vote hundreds of times per day. I think Mnet needs to do something about this (It's unfair because the app is only available in China).

The problem is that this app is able to recognize different software, so it's impossible to be filtered out. It frustrates me because Mnet wouldn't be able to completely stop this app. 

If they're going to investigate vote riggings, they should take this into consideration. 

theqoo

-Each day, I'm looking forward to what kind of controversy Boys Planet is causing...

-Boys Planet? More like Rigged Planetㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I think the same thing also happened back during Produce 48... I guess it's still a thing thenㅋㅋㅋ

-I don't understand why they accept international votes in the first place. I don't even understand why half of the participants are foreignersㅋㅋㅋ If they really want to debut K-pop idols, they should only let Korean trainees participate and Korean viewers vote.

-They need to exclude all of the votes from China at this point, though...?

-Chinese fans are not the only ones doing this, even though the methods are different... Honestly, I've seen Korean fans doing the same thing, even though it wasn't for Boys Planet's votesㅇㅇ

-Chinese fans are not the only ones. Japanese and other international fans are doing this. It's just that Korean fans don't post the proofs on the Internet...

-This can be solved by excluding all the international votes

-Does that mean they can vote unlimited times?

-Why would you watch Mnet's rigged show in the first place...

-Some fans did this during Girls Planet tooㅋㅋㅋ It was the Japanese fans back then, this time it's the Chinese fans...

-For only 2,200 KRW?? That's crazy...

*The vote counting and result calculation process in this show will undergo verification by an external professional organization, SamilPwC, to ensure transparency and fairness.

theqoo

-The first place should be a Korean trainee

-The rate for Korean votes is only 20%...? Is this really a Korean survival show?

-They're asking the viewers to make Sung Hanbin rank #1 again...

-You're telling me the rate for Korean votes is only 20% when these trainees are going to debut in South Korea...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I feel like the candidates for #1 and #2 are Keita, Seok Matthew, and Zhang Hao... I wonder who it is...

-I seriously don't understand why they accept Global votes in the first placeㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this your first time watching a survival show from Mnet?? This show will always debut the PD's favorite trainee no matter whatㅋㅋㅋ It's freaking annoying...

-Park Geonwook, where are you?

-They're revealing this to ask viewers to vote for that 3 traineesㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can guarantee that 3 trainees are going to debut, congratulations

-Why are they revealing the #11 too?? Are they trying to push Kim Taerae?

-What are you doing, Hanbin's fans... Make him rank #1 againㅠㅠㅠ

-Guys, please vote for Sung Hanbin. At this point, a foreign trainee will become the group's center if you don't. That just doesn't make senseㅠㅠ

-Whatever. I'm not watching this show anymore.

K-Netz are called out for leaving malicious comments on Halle Bailey's Youtube

 

The top comment right now:

Comments in her other videos:


What's up with these strange Korean comments? They're harassing this girl just because she was chosen for the role of the little mermaid, calling her disgusting and rude names. You guys are terrible and awful people! Even Americans and Caucasians don't interfere and embarrass this innocent actress. 

Oh please, Koreans... Stop leaving malicious comments with Korean names. We are the only country that leaves racist remarks here. It's f*cking embarrassing.

I don't want to post the hate comments here, you can see it yourself by scrolling through the comments on her Youtube videos. There are always some Korean hate comments in all of her videos, not just that one. I think Koreans are taking it too far just because of her role.

+) For your information, Koreans are the only ones who leave hate comments. All the English comments are positive. 




Apart from malicious comments, there are hardly any Korean comments (obviously, since only haters would go as far as to leave hate comments on Halle's Youtube videos)

theqoo

-Honestly, the level of malicious comments in Korea is really severe. The racist, lookism, and materialistic comments are extremely severe. To be frank, it's embarrassing. They don't only do this in Korean online communities, but also in foreigners' Instagram and Youtube... If a pot leaks from the inside, it will leak on the outside too (NB: Korean idiom that means an ill-mannered person tends to behave in such a manner wherever they go). They should've at least pretended to be kind when others are watching.

-They should've kept those thoughts to themselves. Why did they have to leave those comments and embarrass our country?

-Only Koreans think that Asian people experience racism worse than Black people. They need to wake up and get back to their right minds...

-I understand if they don't like the fact that Halle Bailey was chosen to play the little mermaid. But they didn't have to leave hate comments on her Youtube. They must be out of their minds, oh gosh.

-I don't understand why did they go that far just because they don't like her...

-This proves that our country is extremely racistㅋㅋ I have no comments. I'm so f*cking embarrassed.

-Who do they think they are to leave such comments?? Regardless the fact whether she suits the role or not, we all should live side by side;;

-I know that our country is extremely racist. But I think that's more of lookism instead of racism.

-If they don't like her, they don't have to watch the movie. Why would they go that far?

-People hate, accept it. But they don't have to go as far to her SNS to leave hate commentsㅋㅋㅋ

IVE's Jang Wonyoung joins the hottest debate... 'I prefer KITSCH'

IVE will return with their new songs, KITSCH and I AM, on the upcoming episode of JTBC 'Knowing Brother' that will air on the 15th. In this episode, IVE will reveal the behind-the-scenes stories from the preparation of their first full-length album. 

Jang Wonyoung said that there were differences of opinion between members and staff regarding the selection of the title track for their first full-length album. 

Jang Wonyoung stated, "I personally liked KITSCH more, but everyone else thought I AM was better. I'm really curious about how fans would react."

theqoo

-I like KITSCH more too❤️

-I got bored of I AM after listening to it for a few times. KITSCH is the best. 

-I AM is indeed more emotional and heart-racing, which makes a great title track. But I think KITSCH will remain on the music charts longer because it's really easy listening...? I like KITSCH's choreography more as well!

-In terms of choreography and concept, I like KITSCH more! But if we're talking about the song, I like I AM moreㅋㅋㅋ I personally think I AM's concept is outdated...

-This is a very difficult question... For choreography, I like KITSCH'ss more. But for the song, I like I AM more.

-I finally found the thing that Wonyoung and I share in commonㅋㅋㅋㅋ I like KITSCH more tooㅠㅠㅠ

-Maybe she only said she liked KITSCH more because people like I AM more?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I love both songs, but I like I AM slightly more...

-I like KITSCH more as well, but I think Wonyoung suits I AM better...

-I AM is more impactful. KITSCH sounds like a side track.

-I somehow feel like Wonyoung suits KITSCH moreㅋㅋ

What if the kid that used to bully you in school debuted as an idol and their company gives you 300M to seal your mouth?

 

The kid who used to bully you in school debuts as an idol... If the company gives you 300M KRW to seal your mouth, would you do it?

You can't ask for more, they're only giving you exactly 300M KRW

-Yes

-Yes

-Oh, I absolutely will seal my mouth

-If they made my life like a living hell, no. 300M KRW is nothing compared to that.

ㄴ I agree. It depends on how severe the bullying was. Money doesn't matter. I'd probably just want them to sincerely apologize to me. 

-I think my answer depends on how severe the bullying was

-Nice catch. I'll keep my mouth shut. 

theqoo

-Nope. I wouldn't even accept it even if they gave me 30 Billion KRW. I can earn money by working my ass off, but I will never get back those school days again. 

-But that bully is going to earn so much more money than that. Absolutely not.

-I won't accept it and will spill the tea. My wounds can't be healed with 300M KRW.

-I think I would hate the idea of someone who used to bully me receiving a lot of love from the public...

-Nope. I will even spill the fact that they offered me 300M KRW to seal my mouth.

-For 300M KRW, absolutely yes.

-I have 300M KRW, f*ckㅋㅋㅋ I'd prefer to see that bully get the karma they deserve

-You're telling me I'm getting 300M KRW to see that bully earning 30 Billion KRW...? Nope. I'd rather see their life turns into a living hell.

-300M KRW? You can't even buy a house with that amount of money. Besides, they ruined my school days, it's not equal. 

-Not everything can be solved with money

-I would accept that money and still spill the truth. I would also mention that they tried to seal my mouth with 300M KRW.
