I bet it was a typo combining AOA and IOI's sales or smth

Jks, this is sad for AOA and embarrassing for Mubank. I didnt feel bad for them before but this kind of situation is just so awful to be in and isnt even their fault but it just piles on...yikes.

music bank was like 1-800-u-thought

[bobbing-apples.livejournal.com]

lmao

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

Lmao

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

they really cant catch a break, huh? good luck is trash but this mini is definitely their best, the public needs to hear it!

[bobbing-apples.livejournal.com]

I read that this means that twice got exactly 9 wins. That's awesome :)

I feel bad for AOA though. Their agency is probably behind this but the girls themselves are going to be blamed.

omg has a win ever been retracted before?

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

i remember there was a time when a technical error on screen announced k.will as winning on mucore when it was actually infinite but it was cleared up in probably thirty seconds so not really the same deal. i think this might be the first retraction i've seen???

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

also did yall see mcountdown clearly messing with points and not giving t-ara an award (who had 1 million votes) and they gave it to sistar instead who had like 5k fhdjks

[luxelet.livejournal.com]

the show pulled that stunt on t-ara multiple times too. korean shows have made like some kind of vow to never give t-ara an award again even when they win the votes >:/

*insert Miss Colombia gif*

lol, someone posted this on Netizenbuzz:

Congrats to Twice!! But feel bad for AOA :( This is totally KBS's fuck up but people will still act like this is the girls' fault somehow.

[lettace.livejournal.com]

they're making twice perform this week to get the award apparently? seeing how they're likely to be nominated again


is aoa ending promos early? i hope they're not there fffff that would be so awkward


music bank and other music shows have pulled this shit so many times but damn people's hate for aoa and upset fans have music bank backtracking for once

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

apparently they're not performing? they're legit just going there to be presented the trophy which is even more awkward.

[lettace.livejournal.com]

omg wtf that's so unnecessary

the truth is out and twice has been rewarded, why tf do they need to be there in person lol

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

right??? lol. like i'm hoping the information was skewed and they're actually just announcing the awarding live on air without them actually being there b/c... why would it be needed?? for them to go?? they're done with promos, jeongyeon is apparently gonna be out of the country. they could just sent the trophy to jyp, damn.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Wow. I hope AOA gets an apology at least, they went through so much shit because of their "mistake".

[mangomuffins.livejournal.com]

omg this is so embarrassing for their careers, fnc should have manipulated the broadcast points instead of album sales if they wanted to rig the win.

anyway i don't see them recovering from back to back scandals. iu made it thru cause she has actual talent, objectively speaking these girls are disposable, there'll be another group of pretty girls making catchy music after their moment passes

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

Maybe it will be time for AOA Black to rise!

[mangomuffins.livejournal.com]

:o i didn't think about it but i actually see that being a plausible solution

[adenar.livejournal.com]

aoa black has jimin in it though, she's not as famous as seolhyun but she's part of the history scandal that's currently gripping internet commenters

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Also despite IU's scandal she still sold incredibly well.
AOA hasn't been doing that well this time around, right?

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

actually these are their best sales

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

ok this is actually tragic then

[milkfloo.livejournal.com]

i feel bad for aoa. i can't believe mubank took this long to realize their mistake.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

for the girls it must suck, but at least they didn't get away with the crap.
:/

edit: they as in music bank (and/or fnc)

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

poor aoa :/

[goldenrosalie.livejournal.com]

i feel truly terrible for aoa. it's not their fault but instead of blaming kbs knetz are going off at them as a group. not even fnc.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

but how do you explain the numbers Music bank
That's what' we want to knwo? who fucked up the numbers for AOA and I.O.I in the first place

[adenar.livejournal.com]

ia, where's the explanation for this or are they just going to keep quiet and let people keep speculating

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

AOA is going to get more hate now :(
Fuck kbs and fnc

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

I feel bad for AOA because it wasn't their fault but at least this might make people think twice about manipulating scores

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

this really feels like throwing AOA under the bus (esp now that they've stopped promotions), I think the best thing to do would just be saying 'hey we screwed up, there's no winner for that week' instead of giving it to someone else

[staaan.livejournal.com]

wait has aoa stopped promotions too?? or are u just talking about twice

[joba-grota.livejournal.com]

yes.. aoa's good bye stage was yesterday's inkigayo.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

damnn i just saw the article

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

This entire ordeal most be so awkward for the idols.
But I would love to be there when the award is handed over lol

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

yoikes

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

lmaooo

i'm gonna sound like an evil person, but i don't feel bad for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... anyway i'm glad that for once a music show corrects its mistake

[nolza.livejournal.com]

bless this upgrade

[elisaorange.livejournal.com]

.... Lol.

Apparently this has happened a lot on Music Bank, I hope this kind of "error" doesn't occur again.
