SF9 fans are talking about ‘Music Bank’ episode which was aired on January 19th. They are calling the program, ‘UNFAIR MUSIC BANK.’ SF9 was nominated for the winner of the week with ITZY with their newly released song, ‘Bibora.’ However, while ITZY earned 1697 points from ‘K-POP Fan Vote’ category, SF9 earned zero points. After the program was finished the fandom of SF9 used the hashtag ‘#뮤직뱅크_투표후보누락_설명해’ to let others know the situation.
WHY SF9 fans are mad and sad?
The reason why SF9 fans are mad and SF9 got zero points are because of ‘Music Bank.’ Always ‘Music Bank’ opens the K-POP fan voting opens before the show. However, on episode 1191’s (which was aired on January 19) voting SF9’s ‘Bibora’ was not included. Always all the TOP 2 gets nominated to fan voting on Mubeat. So it could be fair for all the nominees, but not this time. So from January 15, the fans thought it was a mistake and asked ‘Mubeat’ to include SF9 as the nominee. The fandom had the group activity to nominate the group in the preliminary voting.
Sadly it didn’t work until the day of the show. So SF9 did not get a chance to fairly compete with ITZY for the trophy. The fans are not saying ITZY earned the trophy in committing the injustice. The fandom admitted that K-POP fan voting would not change the result, but they just wanted to try their best.
One of the fans’ tweet is “Our fandom didn’t even have the opportunity to vote by KBS omitting internal regulations as an excuse. Is this a fair award? It’s a public broadcaster with a name, so please explain the omission of early voting.”
Sadly, more than a week has passed, but the exact answer from Music Bank has not yet come. If it does, following article would be updated.
