On Tuesday, the two star producers of a popular K-pop TV show "Produce X 101" were arrested over vote-rigging allegations.
Police have been investigating allegations that production staffs manipulated mobile text message-based voting results to change the final outcome of the top 20 rankings, of which the top 11 then went on to debut as X1.

I hope there will be no more Produce 101 or Produce 48 any season at all. I still cant believe all of the season 1,2,3 and 4 was voting rigg. No wonder non talented get debut. I hope they shut it down completely. Please petition this to be shut down.

*We just need better and honest producers.*

The police investigation shows Produce48 only changed ONE place. For the final episode, one of the 12 winners was “unacceptable” to management, so they replaced her with the 13th place girl. (And demoted that winner to 13.) Personally I’d be suing the company if I was that girl who deserved to win .

So many talented person wasted because of those kind of person.😩😩

PLEASE SAVE X1 MEMBERS, ALL OF THEM SO TALENTED, ONE IT ALL OVER THE WORLD, PLEASE KEEP SUPPORT OUR X1, GODBLESS X1

[@phil700ag5]

Too late 😢

[@s29min]

this is yikEs, i felt bad for the trainees that got eliminated instead of debuting with the actual members. and i felt bad for the other members who debuted but not actually the member of x1. i'm not surprised at all, they've been doing this since pd48. 🥴

[@zandayaytaziz752]

Shame on them Their probably taking money from someone who rich enough to pay them I feel sorry for thise idol who deserved better

[@electrictroy2010]

YES they took money from the top 3 Korean talent agencies (Starship, Willimeter, and ???) all were arrested. Sorry cannot read korean, so probably spelled wrong .

I love the background rock music! Thank you for airing this information and helping to stop this corruption

[@chaoscolby]

why blur their face?

[@pamelaa.1356]

Everyone who got screwed over pls stand up in the back. See, I'm not good at math but I ain't THAT stupid. It was crazy how some contestants went up significantly.... how are you 30th place and debut as 3rd or 4th rank....especially since you've held that rank for almost the entire show.....all trainees work so hard. Hopefully, justice will be given, but that man did an unfathomable thing.

Seungyoun vote and rank seem to be the clearest His presence in each episode make him more popular as more episode go on and Seungwoo too Their ranking are constant

The only Produce 101 that Ive watched is season 2 which are the wanna one .I honestly got disappointed because some of the most talented trainees doesn't win especially Kim Samuel .

[@sunaleexo]

Love Myself Love Yourself_ Peace It’s a shame he didn’t win. Don’t know if it was rigged as well or if Koreans stopped voting for him when he revealed he was half-Mexican (💀)

[@lovemyselfloveyourself_pea8953]

Sunalee why ? there are some half Korean who won too .he always got a high score and then in the final suddenly he just dropped.

[@sweetestbee]

Omg this is so sad

[@sallytuazon1035]

A lot of Knets and international viewers rose awareness of vote manipulations during season 2. Because the 3 top contenders weren’t included at the final lineup. KARMA IS REAL 😆

[@tagehsumpy4473]

I feel so bad for those contestant who got rigged and for X1, because they will be at the receiving end when it's not even their fault..

[@jenishardj4014]

The Dark Side of Produce X 101...

[@hakuei4171]

Mentioning the names of people who won due to manipulation will make it more fun

[@ismaelsanchez478]

at first i wanted to know the names but it's confirmed that the prosecutors would not be releasing the names of any trainee i think it's for the best

[@cherryblossom5538]

Now this will happen in tencent tv the dark side of chuang I hope the creator of chuang goes to jail!!!

점점 더 줄줄이 엮어 들어갈 것 같은 느낌이 드네요. 슈스케부터 재밌게 봐왔지만 누리꾼들이 우스개 소리로 하는 말이 있죠. 진짜 오디션은 mbc '위대한 탄생'이었다고. 외모보다 빽보다 오로지 실력으로만 승부했던 프로그램.

[@heejinsnose2027]

The polices are currently investigating all the produce series. Be sure to put #WizoneloveIzone or #StandUpForX1 they really need us rn

[@yvonnemoris2653]
