They got zero??!The After LIKE girl group is the toughest cookie to crack in the fourth-generation K-pop industry, courtesy of them still trending at No. 1 on multiple South Korean music charts. Their song winning even after an entire month of release against a big group such as NCT 127's much-awaited comeback rightfully bewildered fans.Netizens believe only three days of tracking led NCT 127 lose their music show win to IVEKPOP Music Show Analysis@KshowAnalysis 220923 <MUSIC BANK> WINNERThat's TRIPLE CROWN for @IVE_twt & MC #Wonyoung did a special encore on behalf of her group to celebrate #AfterLIKE10thWinThey're also the only artist to own 2 SONGS with THE MOST WINS in 2022.

Congrats 🎉🎉#IVE33rdWin 🎇 #AfterLIKE1stTripleCrown https://t.co/ZhkxbtqzX1NCT 127, a big K-pop boy group with two million-selling albums on their roster, lost to rookie girl group IVE, who joined the 'million sellers' club a few weeks ago on the latest Music Bank broadcast. While the songs charting might not have much to do with the seniority of the groups, many believed that the KBS show was rigged, much like during Lim Young-woong vs LE SSERAFIM (where the channel was found guilty).2 Baddies scored 4928 points against After LIKE’s 7502. A big gap in the points led to a discourse on clarity for the music show criteria. As some put up nasty comments, others rose to defend and clarify the technicalities of what led to the rookie girl group's win.A major point that both IVE and NCT 127’s fandom agreed on was that the latter’s release on Friday, September 16, only made them eligible for three days of tracking. The period considered for September 23’s music show broadcast points was from September 12 to 18.Yenation | After LIKE@yenagotchiWonyoung 2 baddies one porsche#IVE1Wonyoung 2 baddies one porsche#IVE https://t.co/3cCBNNx0LVThe points are calculated by combining several categories: Digital Music Charts (60%), Album Sales (5%), Number of times broadcast on KBS (20%), Viewers Choice Charts (10%), and social media charts (5%). Meanwhile, fans also talked about the girl group still dominating the South Korean music charts, which shot up their digital music charts scores too.alex • D-4 TO PARTY ROCK 🌊@gogumapatatas@sulio22 @KshowAnalysis @IVE_twt disadvantage of friday comebacks, only 3 days of tracking so every point is lower. the girls are within top 3 of all charts so that creates a huge gap in digitals.591@sulio22 @KshowAnalysis @IVE_twt disadvantage of friday comebacks, only 3 days of tracking so every point is lower. the girls are within top 3 of all charts so that creates a huge gap in digitals.saw NCT 127 again 💚@exolodi@sulio22 @KshowAnalysis @IVE_twt I think because we only have 3 days of tracking ,album was released in Sept 16 (while tracking started in Sept 12 and ended in Sept 18).6@sulio22 @KshowAnalysis @IVE_twt I think because we only have 3 days of tracking ,album was released in Sept 16 (while tracking started in Sept 12 and ended in Sept 18).Another point of discussion was NCT 127’s zero score from the viewers’ committee. As per several K-pop fans on Twitter, no song is given any points by the viewership committee in their first week of tracking.𝓃𝑜𝓃𝓃𝒾𝑒 #AfterLIKE@nnnnonniex@KshowAnalysis @IVE_twt Before people start throwing shit around, IVE has high digital (top 3 in all charts) and they attended mubank last week + has a show going on with KBS = broadcast score.
