‘Music Core’ responds to K.Will-INFINITE mix-up

‘Show! Music Core‘ spoke up about the mix-up betweenK.WillandINFINITEon thefirst episodeof their new ranking system.

On the April 20th episode, K.Will was mistakenly announced as the winner. He looked confused as if he couldn’t believe it, and as he was about to say his thanks, the ‘Show! Music Core’ staff quickly informed everyone on stage that there had been a mistake and that INFINITE were theactual winners. K.Will was quick to laugh it off and say, “It’s okay, I’m okay.” He even shouted, “I love INFINITE!” However, the INFINITE members themselves looked unsure and confused about accepting the trophy.

Afterwards, the staff of the show was highly criticized by viewers. The staff made a statement on their official board andsaid,

This is the ‘Show! Music Core’ staff. There was a mistake in announcing the 1st place winner on the April 20th broadcast. This was a mistake because the text votes were mixed up for the two 1st place nominees. The two team’s scores are 100% fair results. The text votes accumulation company has promised to work harder to keep this from happening again. Please excuse us for not running a smooth live broadcast. Thank you.

K.Will also assured his worried fans onTwitter, “Don’t ask me if I’m okay~ I’m really okay! Isn’t this the fun of live broadcasts~ Hehe. I’ll coolly give it over to Myungsoo and his friends~ ^^. The ranking system that came back after 7 years is a strength to the singers. ‘Show! Music Core’, fighting~! Hyungknight (K.Will’s fanclub), see you soon, and smile ^^ I’m okay! Ke.”
