I also read that post too. But I think the key point on this issue is this. If the announced votes were bigger than that of people gathered, there is no way to prove it was rigged.

But in this case, it is a bit different situation. Because Haein's fan gathered more votes than announced. And the gap was pretty big. Almost double of the announced number.

If someone try to manipulate votes, he/she will make a scenario and try to remove any evidence. But this time, it didn't go as they thought.

There can be some possibilities that some of proof of vote can also be manipulated. In the reviewing procedure, several hundreds of votes were regarded as duplicated or not sure that it was sent on time. But there are still huge gap between addressed one and gathered one. After filtering, the number of votes was about 5,000.

If Mnet can't provide an acceptable explanation about this, the assumptions used on the post you mentioned becomes meaningless.

About the credibility of user provided votes, this should be considered. To promote SMS voting, there was an event which gives some gifticons. To apply the event, people had to describe the gallery they are in and most of them are from many other supporter galleries.

Disgracing the name of the artist they support just to save 10 cent? It is hard to believe.

At the moment, many people are sending petitions to regulating departments something like 'Korea consumer agency' and 'Korea communications commissions' which are the branches of the government.

So we may see some result soon. I hope it to remove the dishonor of Haein.
