Bugs Music is planning to change their operations policy, admitting that some subscribers abused the previous membership policy.

BUGS officially admitted that there actually were "some people" who abused the consent of legal representative process through under 14 y/o register and that they will be reviewing and changing their registeration policy.

"Bugs," a music streaming site, is considering changing its operating policy to prevent subscribers from abusing the membership process under the age of 14. (Download the sound source after creating an infinite account - affects the Gaon chart).

 

So basically, fans have abusing & use loop holes to make their faves chart on Bugs Music. More details:

"It's not an issue with music shows, it's an issue with Bugs. Flover are using the same loophole Danitys did to get Upside Down a win on Music Core last month. Bugs is supposed to limit you to one account per ID a week but there's a way around that. If you enter your age as under 14 it will ask for an adult to authenticate the account. If you don't authenticate the account you can still buy the song if it is appropriate for minors (which STW is) and then unsubscribe. Because the account was never authenticated, the account is not linked to the ID and the ID can be used again to make another account. So one dedicated fan can subscribe with a new account as a minor, buy the song, unsubscribe and repeat ad infinitum with one ID. Koreans call this talda (tal from taltwi/withdraw, da from daunrodeu/download). All these downloads count on Gaon/Circle and because downloads are more expensive they are weighted more than streams - a stream is worth about 3 KRW, one song purchase is 770 KRW (including 10% tax) or about 59 cents. I saw one K-Flover spent 1.3 million KRW (about $1000). A a song that's mass downloaded by a coupled hundred people can easily get a higher score than one streamed by 400,000 people. Et voila, a Gaon no. 1, maximum digital score and music show wins."
