Apparently JTBC news' report on iKON and sajaegi is misleading

[yournoona]

 

 

This is the person who confirmed it.

 

@kdramanut

This "investigative report" points out a problem with multiple agencies & artists...so their use of iKON is misleading & f'd up!!

 

 

cr: @KIN6S

 

but this is probably what made ikon korean fans mad without JTBC directly accusing ikon.

@B_I_min

민윤기는 사랑입니다 retweeted JTBC 뉴스

they literally said they looked into it based on a rumor and are basing their "evidence" mainly on an assumption wow

 

 

â€@9junhwe 55m55 minutes ago

not to mention they presented "evidence" that does not connect to ikon or yg but from other companies that have been caught its irrelevant??

 

@9junhwe 54m54 minutes ago

and at the end they said the people who listen to the top songs are the victims trying to turn their audience against ikon to buy their side

@9junhwe 52m52 minutes ago

they interviewed fans and its so obvious they questioned until they got a statment to use and edited out parts they didnt wan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[noon]

the only truth i hold is that yg did not SHAFT winner/leehi/akmu like this just to commit sajaegi

 

 

make me right yg you fucking turtle

[allsmiles]

since Yg has been in a suing mood lately i have only one sentence.......SUE THEIR ASS FOR SLANDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

lol 

[ethereal]

seems like jtbc was just trying to drag ikon into the mess for no good reason. not cool. yg probably won't do anything tho. 

[No More Hiding]

finally the light

[Mees Madds]

Okay, now I need JTBC blood!

 

But who am I kidding, korean journalism always shows this level of professionalism...

[shugwi]

[ariel28]

so they kinda used ikon to garner attention for their 'explosive' news or...?

[allsmiles]

seems like jtbc was just trying to drag ikon into the mess for no good reason. not cool. yg probably won't do anything tho. 

^^^ yea or more like they needed their story to get more hype and if they used any random nugu group it wont really get attention so ikon became a scapegoat...not cool at all..

 

if it is the creating a lot of account to stream...heck i think a whole lot of groups do that...isnt it what the fans do..its not even the companies that do that..its fans who are competitive and make a whole lot of accounts to stream and stream just to get oppa or noona/unnie to chart higher.if that is what is called sagegi then almost every kpop idol is guilty of it then cause their fans have mass streamed for all of them at least once

[Onetooth]

so....ikon, among other artists, are doing sajaegi. smh

[pmonnie]

i cant with journalist publish their news based on rumors..not only jtbc but other broadcast too

[allsmiles]

so....ikon, among other artists, are doing sajaegi. smh

yep including your fav

[DoppelBanger]

making multiple accounts for mass stream is pretty normal

[PanShip]

ok good that would have been very bad for yg and all artists under them

[歩�����]

ok good that would have been very bad for yg and all artists under them

[ñyan]

the song is shit so how is so high in the charts if it is not for sajaegi 

[shugwi]

so....ikon, among other artists, are doing sajaegi. smh

did you read the OP? ikon is not doing sajaegi but not surprised by your comment 

[shugwi]

yeah it seems like it 

 

but haters are probably disappointed 

[Fantastic_Loser]

Just because you dont like it doesn;t mean the majority of the public shares the same views...

[ñyan]

korean people listen whatever shit YG release 

[HerShe]

because IKON fans are too EXTRA. IKON was not used for shit. They actually used a bunch of artists as illustration in the report. All of them with faded images. Watch the video first before saying shit.

[Onetooth]

did you read the OP? ikon is not doing sajaegi but not surprised by your comment 

 

Does my reputation precede me?

[Am@r@]

I hope this indeed isn't true. Cuz u know it won't only effect them but all artists under YG who will release their songs later. For sure pressed people, haters & antis will bring 'sajaegi' tags everywhere in every articles just like 'drug' & 'pharmacy' tags. Not sure for iKON since they newly debut but all YG artists songs from their albums like BIGBANG, AKMU, WINNER being played all around SK & we have lot of receipts from people who live in SK & visit SK. Really hope this isn't true.

since Yg has been in a suing mood lately i have only one sentence.......SUE THEIR ASS FOR SLANDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

lol 

 

doubt they can lol it'll be difficult to claim jtbc's report as a tort

How are we being extra when the thread's title literally had "hinted at Ikon" in it? The video might have used other artists as well but some people on OH were very eager to act like this is all about Ikon and I doubt they were Ikon fans.
