Lawyer States That The Real Ranking From “PRODUCE X 101” Final Votes Will Be Revealed

The lawyer explained the current situation in detail.

The police recently confirmed that the final votes for PRODUCE X 101 were rigged. The cyber investigation team discovered that about 2 or 3 of the X1 members had received votes that were supposed to belong to other eliminated trainees.

MBK Entertainment, Woollim Entertainment, and Starship Entertainment have also been called in for investigation as their documents and computer files are being searched.

 

Kim Jong Hui, the lawyer who is leading the lawsuit against Mnet and the show, revealed details about their fight for the truth. He claimed that the recent announcement by the police was a win for them but they still have more obstacles to overcome.

We were honestly afraid that the police would only announce, ‘Manipulation took place’, and that would be the end of the investigation. As mentioned in our lawsuit, we’re sure that there is a connection between Mnet and the agencies. We look forward to the truth being revealed through the investigations.

It’ll be hard to move forward with the investigation since they’re denying it…

He also explained that the next step is to find out whether or not there was monetary transactions involved in the manipulation. He firmly stated that no matter what happens, the true rankings from the show will be revealed to the public.

It’s clear that the final ranking was switched around, but we believe that a major issue between Mnet and the agencies will be uncovered. Did they push for the members without a beneficial reason or was there a monetary transaction involved?

…the correct ranking will be clearly revealed.
