Why do people hate/dislike iKON's Chanwoo?

Because they take kpop so seriously and hate on him for getting into IKON when it isn't even his fault. The hate is ridiculous and I just want to tell everyone who hates on him to just GROW UP and stop being so immature. Not like hating him is going to change the line up.

Who knows? I certainly don't dislike him, even after watching Mix and Match. I can't see where the hate is coming from, it was pretty obvious from the beginning that YG officials were angling the show in his favour. But that's not Chanwoo's fault. I really like that kid.

Kpop fans are so OTT, if y'all think calling Chanwoo useless is 'hate' what word would you use for OT6 kfans for spreading sexual molestation rumours for Jinhyeong which essentially ruined ALL his chances?  :wut:

 

If you want some background on why people are frustrated at his addition, laurel's post puts it rather neatly :

 

 

None. But fans have the purchasing power. As consumers of the music industry, companies should flexibility cater to market consumers. Business 101. Except YG wasn't going to let the public decide this time after Team A won last year. He expected and was in favor of Team B winning.

 

The voting results were leaked. Hongseok garnered the second highest votes- not surprising. His popularity began making a turn around around two weeks before we could vote. What gutted him in the belly was not receiving any votes from the judges. The voting system was set up in a way that the judges vote had the final say. 

 

Hongsoek didn't top the global votes + not landing any votes from the judges- that was 44% of the total votes against him. The global votes were prejudiced- it happened at a time most fans were throwing Jinhyeong and Hongseok under the bus because they believed the rumors plus Mnet's editing. At that time, there were Knetz comments about kicking him out with more than 5,000 up votes. The timing placed Hongseok at odds.

 

The on-sight votes happened (after or during) the final match which aired a week later. Hongseok's popularity was still premature. It was until after that it spiked up- when the posts of his real personality emerged and Knetz started the witch hunt against Mnet's evil editing.  I don't think the 70% were truly representative of the public opinion considering how voting happened at different times and influenced by manipulation. I feel offended that YG and Mnet blatantly deceived us by trying to paint a picture far from reality. 

 

Chanwoo never trended until he was added to iKON's line up. He is more popular among international fans than knetz. 

 

I wish I could recognize that Chanwoo fairly won. He didnt. YG handed his spot on a silver platter. He was never criticized, got a bit too much screen time compared to others, never sang an acapella solo, landed in Bi and Bobby's team which automatically granted him a safe spot. To the very last episode, he was placed in the middle of the spotlight. People voted for him the most stupid reasons- for being cute, wanting to keep OT6 bond alive, fans didnt wants their favs to get overshadowed, for being a blender rather than standout, for following orders, etc). Cant sing. Not a visual. Very lackluster stage presence. Okay personality. 

 

He didnt prove he deserved to win besides training hard? But so did Jinhyeong and Hongseok so....  :unsure:

People on this site are hypocrites lol. I don't want Chanwoo in IKON either but I think it's pretty comical that individuals who are mad at Knetz for being trashy to JinSeok are the same ones that are being awful to Chanwoo as well. 

 

Direct your hate to YG, the person who actually deserves it. Not some young kid who's done nothing to you.

 

The fact that he's young and many of them are older yet act more childish than his age... ironic

He seems like a hard-working, sweet kid. I like him enough. 

I suppose it's upsetting that he was chosen over two who would've actually brought something to the group.

but w/e i think we all saw it coming. It's not his fault. 

Pretty much this.

The people leading the Chanwoo hate campaign on OH are mostly 20-something women. It's really embarrassing.

You said it... and what's really sad is that in a years time when they realise how embarrassing their behaviour was, they'll be too proud to take it back or change. Chanwoo is in for a difficult journey on OH, at least this site is irrelevant enough that he'll never find out.

my only issue with him is that this show was about fixing the lineup and he doesn't do that. He can't sing, his dancing is ok, his stage presence is ok. But other than that he's just kinda there. 

I do understand how people find him cute and charming. I'm not that attracted to him but I think he's cute in like a little kid cuteish way. 

 

I have nothing against the boy, I just think the other two were far more deserving than him.
