The 'Burning Trotman' side emphasized, "From the preliminaries to the present, we have operated a system in which viewers directly participate and decide the results of the contestants' contests through the votes of the national representatives at the contest site and the scores of the national cheering votes through the official application." .
Regarding the selection of the winner of the two finals, "In the remaining two finals, where the final winner will be born, out of a total score of 4,000, 1,200 points will be given by the celebrity delegation and the national delegation, 800 points by the public support vote, and 2,000 points by the live broadcast real-time text vote. He explained, “The method of reflecting the final score from the online public support vote will be reset and newly reflected after February 1st, the semi-final recording date when the eight finalists were decided.”
He emphasized again, "We have aimed for a fairer audition through direct participation of viewers, and according to the final scoring method, the people's real-time text voting score is the most decisive score, so we tell you that it is a system in which no intervention is possible."
In addition, regarding the suspicion that 'admission tickets to participate in the finals' were provided to the fan club of a specific participant, "In mid-January, we learned of the suspicion and requested confirmation of the facts from the sponsor and the fan club. As a result, it was only a misunderstanding about encouraging participation in the event and the right to attend the event was denied." “We confirmed that there was no distribution and requested caution.”
Meanwhile, 'Burning Trotman' has recently been subject to noise, including suspicions of assault surrounding performer Hwang Young-woong, 'suspicions of pushing', and 'suspicions of internally determining the winner'.
