KBS, which is suspected of robbing singer Lim Young Woong of his win by manipulating his broadcast score on “Music Bank”, explained their reasons.

According to Sports Trend on October 14th, it was confirmed that the Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station was investigating KBS by converting the broadcasting station KBS into a suspect. It is reported that KBS submitted materials related to the scoring criteria for the broadcast of “Music Bank” to the police.

Earlier, Lim Young Woong scored 0 points in the broadcast score category on a May episode of KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank”, leading to LE SSERAFIM to win first place.
