Article: YG reps, "Why only iKON excluded from the charts this time? Unable to understand"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+249, -45] Imagine from the perspective of the producers for once. Not only iKON but Big Bang too, they're not even promoting but on the charts. That puts the shows in an awkward position. They win but so? They can't even give an award speech and it's just a lackluster ending for each of the shows... what does that make the kids who perform on the show every day even if their song isn't on the charts? There are kids begging for a chance to get their faces on these screens.

2. [+210, -22] Mnet has always had this rule. They don't allow you to be nominated if you don't perform on stage. A Naver best reply mentioned Busker Busker but Busker Busker performed for two weeks ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Besides, isn't it weirder for Mnet to include a group that hasn't even had an official debut stage yet...?

3. [+199, -30] M! Countdown has always excluded you from the charts if you don't promote the song. Don't use this as an excuse for media play~

4. [+49, -19] So much media play; Mnet has always had a rule that they don't give trophies to non-promoted songs

5. [+37, -9] Did YG only learn now that non-promoted songs are excluded from the charts? Pfft, as if iKON is worthy of all this fuss

6. [+34, -6] So they don't want to perform on the show but still want the #1?

7. [+30, -3] Then 'Leon' should've won #1 many times over. iKON hasn't even debuted yet and YG is being so greedy already. Red Velvet has a high digital score and has promoted a lot on broadcast, so don't they deserve it too? Why is YG being like this...

8. [+29, -4] The rules are right there on the homepage that only promoted songs are allowed on the charts. Why are they acting like they're the victims? Then other singers should've won #1 many times as well but they've never complained to the media like this. YG seriously lives in a world of their own.

Pann: Yang Hyun Suk's media play is getting dirty...

"It says on the Mnet homepage right there that non-promoted songs will be excluded from winning #1. Busker Busker was just the exception because they're from Mnet's audition program but even Roy Kim, who's under CJ (and Mnet is under CJ), Naul, and IU have never media played as if Mnet was being unfair to them while YG is going around putting out articles as if they're purposely being wronged just so another group can win #1... what does that make the actual winners..;; why is their media play so pathetic."

1. [+178, -9] YG has been trying so hard to make their image all high class. They don't even have them perform on no name music shows that other rookies go on. And of course they haven't even performed on any shows yet but are demanding that they be given #1.. I can see why broadcast companies hate YG; they're acting so cocky

2. [+154, -20] YG seems to be expecting a lot out of iKON. They've never media played like this for Big Bang or Winner... but funny how iKON's tickets are being given out as gift invites; the stadium is impossible to fill as a rookie group

3. [+142, -57] YG is definitely overstepping boundaries this time... and I honestly think there's some grounds to the sajaegi talk (not led by the company but possibly by fans). YG is really fanning the fire here ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

YG needs to stop. Ikon is going to win 12345 awards later anyway.

you aren't very smart if you think its wise for yg to give any slack, if mnet does this without yg fighting back, what is stopping them from doing it again and turning yg into their bitch.

I could give a hoot about YG or Ikon but his statement is so sad and pathetic. What CEO throws shade at other groups.

how the fuck is that a shade? he is questioning mnets logic by giving a clear example of their inconsistency.

 

it's a straight up FACT, his other group did not promote, yet it goes against mnets reasoning

"We're suspicious that iKON was removed so another group has a better chance for 1st"...he's clearly shading RV and SM. 

 

And MNET wasn't inconsistent:

What? lol 

 

I enjoy YG groups and just because I'm not a "stan" doesn't mean I don't read their articles lmao. Acting as if I wrote down all their finances and whereabouts   :donthinkso:

 

I know what everyone is up to  :hurr:

i do have a question, if the songs that are charting high without promotion could win a show, then what about infinity challenge songs ad smtm songs?

Didnt BB promote all thier songs on music shows except "if you"? or did they not promote on Mnet? didnt they?

 

Edit: yeah they perf. on Mnet -- excluding "if you" which is the only unpromo track on all music shows, they perf. "Bang x3, Loser, Bae bae,  WL2P, and even thier recent duo track "zutter" all on mnet. They didnt perf. "Let's not fall in love" on mnet but inkigayo, I'm guessing they were touring then...so yeah. BB's songs werent unpromoted tho. Those were thier comeback songs every month from May to August so surely they were promoted songs...idk why YG is saying that BB's songs werent promoted and asking why thier songs were on the chart when.....MADE was their comeback album.  :wut:

----------------------------------------------

 

 

This whole situation is such a mess, mnet probably should talked with them first tbh instead of abrutly removing them from the chart. although mnet is shady and they've always changed "winning criteria" rules, that's one of the rules that hasnt changed. I mean if we let unpromoted songs win #1 well then what about other songs by other artists who's songs also charted well don't they deserve a win too? YG s doing his thing, if he feels that something is fishy then go ahead and call it out. Ikon's debut is not that far away, they'll surely start winning when they start to promote.

I agree that this is what YG meant with his statement which is true.

Is ikon even worth making such a fuss about? They are just rookies and their fans and yg are acting like they are on bigbang'd level like wtf

 

Also RV deserved the win 100%

some fans are acting like that. I agree it's obnoxious, but don't lump as all together.

 

congrats on the win~

Lmfao YG is so embarassing.

 

And to think he used to release articles saying he dont care for wins bahahahhaha

 

Btw YG and ikon fans need to decide if that "song" is their debut or not. Because you dont get to change your mind depending on the situation LOL

I don't think they promoted all their singles on Mnet but they did go on a couple of times during MADE. Also with Big Bang they are a group that has been around since '06 while iKON has yet to even debut.
