It has been revealed by The Korea Communications Standards Commission (known as KCSC) that Mnet will be fined from 10 million won ($8,490.30 USD) to 30 million won ($25,300 USD) for manipulating the votes in Produce X 101.
KCSC even responded by stating:
“We are considering the issue of a show claiming to be a national voting audition program deceiving viewers as a grave one. We may be able to impose a heavy sanction or a penalty based on Clause 1 of Article 1 of the Broadcasting Act. We have decided to hear the opinions [of those involved] regarding the issue, and we will make a decision after taking into account the results of the ongoing police investigation.”
The police are now looking into the possibilities of the producing directors manipulating the show for monetary compensation exchange.
