[Literal Translation] Broadcaster Mnet announces its first Official position in response to alleged voting on audition program "Produce X 101". .



※ The following is the full text of Literal Translation.



I would like to express the controversy about the differences in the number of final votes for live broadcasting of <Produce X 101> .



First of all, I would like to express my sincere apologies for causing the controversy in relation to the letter vote (※ SMS message vote) of <Produce X 101> as a production team in charge of production.



<Produce X 101> announced the 11 debut members via live broadcast on the 19th, and released the individual final vote number which added the number of character votes of live broadcast to the number of advance online votes.



After the end of the broadcast, <produce X 101> production team became aware that the difference in the number of votes among some trainees was the same in the final number of votes, and as a result of the confirmation, We found that there was no error in the final ranking including X , but there was an error in the process of aggregating and transmitting the number of individual final votes announced on the broadcast.



I will explain the point where the same difference in the number of votes occurred among the trainees.



During the live broadcast of <Produce X 101> The production staff, who was in charge of tallying votes, tallyed the rankings according to the number of votes, calculated the percentage of votes for each trainee, and verified the final rankings using several methods.



However, in the process of reexamination of the rankings by the relevant staff, the voting rate was rounded off to two decimal places, and the number of votes converted at this rounded voting rate was sent to the live broadcast site.



In this process, I would like to reiterate that there was no change in the ranking.



I apologize once again to all the national producers, trainees and people involved in the poll to cheer up <Produce X 101> .



In the future, we will complement the letter voting system and the tabulation process so that the same problem does not recur.



From now on, the production team will do their best for even more fair and transparent program production.
