At the end of 2019, many fans and viewers were shocked by the fake votes of the Korean talent show "Produce" series (Korean version of Creation 101). Yesterday, August 11, Han Cho Won, a player who was "mistakenly" eliminated due to vote fraud, publicly discussed this matter in the live broadcast, and shouted to the program group "I am not the 13th place, but the 6th place, please solve this problem, this is very important to me!" ”
Han Xiaoyi won the love of a large number of viewers with her strong voice in the talent show "Produce 48" held in 2018, and was considered one of the members who made her debut ironclad, but she did not expect that she would eventually become one of the eliminated contestants. In the show, she finished 13th overall, missing the opportunity to debut in IZ*ONE with a result that was only one step away from 12 debut positions.
The IZ*ONE, composed of Kwon Eun-fei, Miyawak Misaru, Kang Hye-won, Choi Yong-na, Lee Chae-yeon, Kim Cai-won, Kim Hyun-joo, Yabuki Nako, Hitomi Honda, Joo Joo-ri, Ahn Seo-jin and Jang Yuan-ying, has achieved unprecedented success after its debut! In 2018, its debut mini album "COLOR*IZ" broke many records, and the album won the album chart in the global 8-nation iTunes album real-time chart, sweeping Asia. At that time, it also broke the record of 14 days set by BLACKPINK, becoming the fastest Korean girl group to debut and win the first place! (Compare the domestic Rocket Girl 101 on it)
After nearly a year, IZ*ONE became the undisputed first popular girl group in South Korea at that time with the attitude of "super big dark horse", until the vote fraud was exposed and the group was forced to temporarily suspend its business. However, thanks to the fact that IZ*ONE is really too hot, the organizers and various forces do not want to give up, and after consultation, they will reunite again. The first regular album and mini album released after that broke and set multiple girl group records again!
On the other hand, Han Xiaoyi, who was eliminated due to vote fraud, sank and did not officially debut as a member of the LIGHTSUM women's group until June this year. It's really heaven on one side and hell on the other.
On August 11, Han Xiaoyi watched her highlight video in "Produce 48" during the live broadcast, and looked through the video comments to see that "thanks to Hellbayah, Han Xiaoyi was able to rise from 80th to 13th. Han Xiaoyi immediately responded after seeing it: "I am not the 13th, but the 6th, please solve this problem, this is very important to me!" ”
After seeing Han Xiaoyi's response, netizens left comments one after another: "If it were me, I would be very angry", "We should boycott IZ*ONE, haha", "Of course she would be angry, she would have become a member of that girl group and gained a lot of popularity", "She had the right to be angry because all the popularity is hers", "We should see who replaced her position", "I really want to know who two girls replaced Han Xiaoyi and Li Jia'en into IZ*ONE" and so on.
In 2019, after the final screening of "PRODUCE X 101" on July 19, 2019, a large number of viewers suspected that the vote of the program group was fake due to the suspicious number of votes. Subsequently, the audience formed a truth investigation committee and prosecuted the program production team with the procuratorate on suspicion of obstructing official business and fraud, and eventually the police intervened in the investigation. On November 18, 2020, the Seoul High Court Criminal Division 1 released the final true ranking results of "PRODUCE 48", with Lee Jae-eun as the fifth and Han Xiaoyi as the sixth.
On August 2 this year, the program producer Mnet made a statement on the "Produce" series of counterfeiting, 12 contestants affected by the number of votes, of which 11 have completed compensation after consultation with their brokerage companies, and one remaining one is still under negotiation due to the huge amount of compensation, which is a conclusion to the "Produce" series of counterfeiting. However, judging from Han Xiaoyi's response this time, it is difficult to reconcile after all! Finally, what do you think about the falsification of votes for the talent show?
