Mnet has again drawn criticism after using the Monika 'Street Woman Fighter' controversy to promote its new show. Check out the full explanation below.
The controversial channel Mnet is back at it again. This time, Mnet drew criticism for using Monika's controversy "Street Woman Fighter" to promote its new dance program, "Street Man Fighter".
In the teaser of the show "Be Mbitious" aimed at recruiting dancers for "Street Man Fighter", the production team showed the intense dance battle as well as the heated atmosphere among the participants. Especially when the "No Respect" vote is given to idols and dancers who are less experienced.
However, the production team suddenly showed the face of Monika, who was one of the "Street Woman Fighter" dancers. He appeared just as a competitor said, "Because he's not a professional, this result is a complete 'ping'."
Monika is seen making an annoyed expression in the teaser, and the reason is related to her controversy when appearing on the variety show "Ask Us Anything". At that time, Monika explained the difference between the terms "popping" and "poppin" which eventually made professional dancers angry.
There were many people debating the accuracy of Monika's words, and more than 100 dancers started to "cyberbully" the PROWDMON dance crew leader. But Monika's words turned out to be true, and her critics eventually apologized.
Thus, the blatant use of Monika's controversy in the "Street Man Fighter" teaser made both fans and netizens very upset. Check out some of their comments below:
"As expected, that's Mnet," said a netizen. "This irritates me, I will not watch this show," added another netizen. "Well, all of this is just for drama," added another. "This is another trick by Msnake to draw attention to their show," said another.
"What did Monika say? What about the participants? Who exactly is the participant referring to? If Mnet is really doing this for display, I won't be able to hold myself back!" another netizen said.
"Mnet is really trash," said another. "Is it necessary to do this kind of editing? The only ones who will get hurt are the people on the show. All this for ratings?" said another.
"Mnet is really the most evil of all," said another netizen. "Ugh, the show hasn't even started yet and there's already a drama... Goodbye, this event is not for me," concluded another netizen. (wk/eval)
