Kep1er's recent victory over TWICE's Nayeon on Music Bank has raised suspicions about the credibility of the music show.

TWICE, Kep1er, Sunmi, LOONA, fromis 9, and numerous others appeared on the weekly music show Music Bank on July 1st.

Meanwhile, Nayeon's solo debut song "POP!" and Kep1er's latest song "UP!" were nominated for the award, with the cup ultimately going to the rookie girl group, marking their first win for the new album.

However, Kep1er had little time to celebrate their victory because it was quickly deemed controversial.

Particularly, Korean netizens find it hard to believe that Kep1er won, despite Nayeon outperforming the group in terms of digitals, her album selling just as well as the girl group's, and her fanbase being enormous after seven years in the industry.

In addition, Korean netizens observed that while Nayeon won in all score categories, Kep1er's broadcast score of 6000 points was extremely high.

This raised serious suspicions, as LE SSERAFIM had previously been involved in controversy when he defeated the famous trot singer Lim Young Woong with a high broadcast score.

Below are some comments from netizens:

• There is clearly an error with the Music Bank scores. Even Lim Young Woong's score was lowered by them.
• That broadcast score… Really, Nayeon lost because of this?
• In essence, Music Bank selects the winners by boosting their broadcast scores.
• 6000 for broadcast? I'm speechless. Digital and physical releases by Nayeon can leave the girl group in the dust.
• Considering that the cup does not belong to them, Kep1er must be experiencing some strange emotions right now.
• Music Bank really harmed Nayeon
• Music Bank… are they dishonest? How can Nayeon be defeated by Kep1er?
• Nowadays, broadcast score is everything, so neither streaming nor purchasing the album is necessary.
• Seriously, Music Bank? Again? The fact that you robbed Lim Young Woong of LE SSERAFIM wasn't enough for you?

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
