[세계일보 인터넷팀] YG Entertainment (“YG”) carries out viewers’ vote in “MX & MATCH”, a survival audition show to select the members of its new boy group iKON.
In 10am on the 30, an image of six contestants: KOO JUNHOE, SONG YUNHYEONG, KIM DONGHYUK, JUNG JINHYEONG, JUNG CHANWOO, and YANG HONGSEOK with each one’s number was posted on YG’s official blog, with comment ‘’Select the four to be iKON. Your final vote will select iKON members. B.I, BOBBY, and KIM JINHWAN are not included in the image, as their debut has already been confirmed.
The time for the voting is from 11pm on the day until midnight on the 31. Viewers can cast their vote by sending a text message, as well as on-line and through mobile voting on LINE. Each viewer can vote for four out of six members, and cannot cast more than one votes on one member.
Four iKON members out of six candidates will be selected 30% through judges’ vote and 70% through viewers’ vote. There are five ways for viewers’ vote, including global vote in Korea, China, and Japan, final match’s on-site vote by the audience, text-messaging vote that will begin with the start of episode 8, vote on “MIX & MATCH”’s official Facebook, and mobile vote on NAVER’s messenger LINE.
In episode 8 of the show, the final match that was held on the 22 at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Anam-dong, Seoul, will be unveiled.
On the day, B.I, BOBBY, and KIM JIN HWAN whose debut has already been confirmed, as well as the other ones, competed in three matches of freely-selected songs, songs written by the members themselves, and dance.
Notably, in the second round match of songs written by the members themselves, SONG YUNHYEONG, JUNG CHANWOO, and JUNG JINHYEONG will come upon the stage with B.I, BOBBY, and KIM JINHWAN as the first team, to perform a lovely and romantic song.
Then, B.I, BOBBY, and KIM JINHWAN in team with KOO JUNHOE, YANG HONGSEOK, and KIM DONGHYUK will catch the eyes with a solemn and strong song. The team had a strong focus on performance in the past, but they are trying a new concept with a bigger focus on vocal. People are paying keen attention to which one between the romantic song and strong hip-hop song will draw bigger popularity.
Plus, YG Family including head producer YANG HYUN SUK, BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON and TAEYANG, hip-hop group EPIK HIGH, 2NE1’s DARA, CL, and MINZY, singer LEE HI, group AKMU, as well as MC DAESUNG and YOO IN NA will be present at the final battle. Group WINNER will also be there, to give a special performance with B.I, BOBBY, and KIM JINHWAN.
Fans are paying keen attention to who will win the nine candidates’ long and hard journey from April to October for debut, and who will finally become the members of iKON.
