On the 11th, Woody's song 'Fire Up' was #1 on Melon, Bugs, Olleh, Genie, and Sori Bada charts. On the 10th, he won #1 on Inkigayo with the score of 5790. His scores for album sales and on-air were 0 but his digital sales were over 5500.

1. [+1028, -20] Where do these nugus like Jang Deok Cheol, Nilo, Shaun and Woody come from and take #1 on online charts? It's not like they have amazing songs, they're famous, nor they have a fandom like BTS/WannaOne/EXO. How does this make sense that an artist who swept the music charts only sold 20 tickets for a concert with 2000 seats and had to cancel the concert?

2. [+578, -9] I know Udyr but who is this Woody nugu?

3. [+565, -8] The machines made him #1, congratulations.

4. [+57, -1] Melon needs to be investigated entirely. They have so many manipulations that people don't trust them at all. Melon Awards? What a joke, I don't trust that award show, either.

5. [+48, -1] I saw a song I've never heard of at #2 so I thought I was looking at Indie Chart. Turns out that it's another manipulation... At this rate, it's a serious problem. It's not just a couple of artists per year, how many are we getting?

6. [+48, -6] I listened to his song and it's not something that'd win #1. Ugh... I guess he wanted to get his name out there like Jang Deok Cheol, Nilo, and Shaun. At first, I thought it was Woodie Gochild. Sorry but this totally seems like a manipulation, doesn't make any sense.

7. [+42, -2] In Loco's recent lyrics, he says, "My friend also got an offer, that's what they call a manipulation".

8. [+33, -1] I know Woody from Toy Story, the cowboy doll.

9. [+31, -5] What idiots say: "The song is good so why is this a problem?" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ How do they live with this stupid logic? So if someone gets hired in a shady way, it's fine as long as they do their work?

10. [+28, -4] People do find it suspicious when manipulated artists win #1. Look at Paul Kim for example. He wasn't famous but when he was #1, people didn't find it suspicious unlike those manipulated artists.
