Some viewers have requested that "Music Bank" release the full result calculations as some have suspected that there may have been a mistake in the calculation of the final results, and the No.1 trophy should have actually been awarded to I.O.I instead of BTS.

 

Following this request, "Music Bank" complied and revealed the numbers for the October 28 show, showing that BTS had in fact been the correct winner. To help explain how the final result was calculated a points percentage breakdown was also provided by the show.

why were some fans even suspicious in the first place

interesting

[*Justin Seagull*]

Sad that Billboard and now Music Bank had to step in for so much stupidity.

[nsfwwww]

People are trying so hard to make BTS look bad 

[monolid]

get receipts first before accusations ladies, twice did it right

[diminie]

I'm waiting for an apology from those viewers that complained. 

[captainkim]

well it's the public's right to demand transparency if they sense something is wrong, these are the kind of things that are essential to a democracy, i don't think it's that bad if ioi fans want an explanation. even bts were surprised by their win (their expressions made me tear up tho, they're so adorable). just happy music bank clarified everything before it became a big mess!

[CookieMaster]

the amount of negging in this thread 

[freya]

Lmao at the negs in this thread.

 

The accusations were dumb indeed. BTS had a solid second week and considering Mubank's criteria it really isn't surprising. This was really extra.

[Para-DX]

gonna make this thread get locked next! Moderators~~~

[i_apologize]

IOI digital is very high though....

 

Too bad IOI has zero viewer voting :/ (since it release previous week)

[saffy]

When Mubank need to step in with point breakdown in great detail I don't know what to feel. Do you guys the demand-ers feel better???

 

I dont think we will get any 'apologizing clarification' or whatever you call it (we dont need it, BTS maybe. You hurt them, not us) but I really hope those people go reflect.

[TT MinSoul]

Stupid fanboys/antis disguised as fans cant accept the truth.Meanwhile IOI stayed cute, humble and being good hoobaes..♥♥♥

[Aliens-United]

They had the right to ask for a clarification but I also have the right to think they were being petty. From Korean music charts to Billboard to music shows, how far in denial are antis going to get? Just accept it, the boys are successful and deserved all their achievements.:eyeroll:

They had the right to ask for a clarification but I also have the right to think they were being petty. From Korean music charts to Billboard to music shows, how far in denial are antis going to get? Everytime these boys have been accused of cheating, they've always come out innocent. Just accept it, Bangtan are successful and deserved all their achievements.:eyeroll:

At least IOI and BTS stayed on the sidelines and didn't really comment tbh.

this! both groups would've deserved it but at least there has been no mistake & a full controversy has been avoided.

[Itsyaboii don]

I had absolutely zero doubt that BTS would've lost honestly.
