Article: '2018 MAMA' under more controversy for clear bias towards IZ*ONE
Source: TV Daily via Nate
1. [+1,110, -101] Just Mnet being Mnet
2. [+1,040, -271] Then are they supposed to ignore the group they produced? ㅋㅋ Obviously they're supposed to support them. All the other groups got three songs too; I'm not an IZ*ONE fan but this article seems biased;;
3. [+760, -169] Well it's Mnet's own group, what else would you expect?
4. [+55, -14] If Mnet doesn't take care of them, who will?
5. [+48, -13] There's a boy group that performed four songs, are they Mnet's group too? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+39, -7] All broadcast channels pushed their own singers on of their own audition programs at year-end ceremonies. 'Superstar K', 'Birth of a Great Singer', even 'Top Band'.
7. [+35, -12] What bias? They're Mnet's daughters ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+30, -5] There's nothing wrong with Mnet pushing their own group. Plus, this was in Japan and the group has AKB members who are already popular there too. We call them 'rookies' but their members are already known in Japan so it makes sense for Mnet to give them a hefty time slot. They're only rookies in Korea, not in Japan too.
9. [+16, -2] Last year, Wanna One performed three songs for 12 minutes, where was the controversy then? I noticed that the journalist is a woman, and it's always women vs women who write articles like this.
10. [+16, -4] Mnet put their own group on their own stage, what's the issue? I don't get it.
11. [+15, -1] Why wouldn't Mnet promote their own group on their own ceremony?
12. [+13, -6] Funny how no one said a word when Wanna One got all the support last year. People are mad now that IZ*ONE is getting that same support this year?????????
