Pann: We demand from 'Get Ready Show Time' (iKON's main fansite)
1. [+275, -2] The victims and offenders are clear in this. I hope people don't blur the point and jump on the bandwagon.
2. [+272, -6] I can't understand what Winner has done to deserve these manipulations. Just like how your bias is important to you, Winner is just as important to us. Please only cheer for your bias.
3. [+257, -4] iKON's main fansite 'GRST' made a group chat of 23 people including the staff. Unlike the original purpose, they bashed and insulted Winner, Winner fans, and manipulated public opinions. Nate Pann was heavily used to generate negative public opinions. The screencaps of the group chat were released on Winner's DC Gallery. But the feedback from GRST was poorly written, so Winner fans decided to write this post. GRST needs to release the full chat with the help of the 4 identified people, hand-written apologies of the other 19 people, to delete the 80 accounts used for manipulations, and to prove the group chat is deleted. This demand is towards the fansite and the group chat but since this happened within the fandom, all other iKON fans also need to help to give feedback as soon as possible.
4. [+141, -1] We demand a responsible solution from Get Ready Show Time
5. [+138, -1] This is daebak. 23 people manipulated the public opinions with 80 accounts? It can be a criminal charge, can't it? They tarnished Winner and Winner fans' image on purpose with malicious intents. Ending this incident with apologies is extremely forgiving already.
6. [+124, -1] I'm getting goosebumps at how they're even manipulating comments on positive posts... Now people can't even praise their bias freely.
7. [+118, -2] Honestly, Incles held back a lot. The group chat was released a long time ago.
8. [+115, -2] Wow daebak ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Winner fans must've struggled hard ㅠㅠ
9. [+108, -1] Hul, this was true? Whenever there was a post bashing Winner, Winner fans posted the group chat and I wondered what kind of a nonsense they were bringing. I'm so shocked, I hope they get the apologies. If I were the victim, I would've fainted in shock.
10. [+104, -3] On Pann, Winner's image is "the most promoted". They're already affected by various rumors. We held back and waited. We want a clear feedback.
