I hope the whole "crediting issue" with my Yahoo post is over now as I talked personally to the guest who demanded it to be deleted. I hope other JGS fans who made such comments too would have a clear mind as the person I talked to.

A controversy has recently been surrounding the ‘2010 Yahoo Asia Buzz Awards’, as many fans are doubting the legitimacy of its online voting system.
Between November 8th and the 30th, Yahoo has been conducting an online poll for three categories: ‘Korean Male Buzz Star’, ‘Korean Female Buzz Star’ and ‘Asia’s Buzz Star‘.
The problem that had caught the attention of sharp fans is that the poll results for some nominees had either taken a sharp rise or drop in a spontaneous fashion. For instance, in the ‘Male Buzz Star’ category, Jang Geun Suk’s poll results saw sharp rises and falls at a continuous rate, while a considerable number of votes for Kim Hyun Joong dropped unexepectedly.
Consequently, many netizens are suspecting the poll results to have a substantial error in voting calculations.
Fans have become even more angered by Yahoo’s lack of investigation on this matter, who merely called it a simple ’server error’. Netizens commented, “The globally acknowledged Yahoo doesn’t want to be humiliated in public, which is why they are ignoring the hard work of the fans”, “I want to rebuke Yahoo for their lack of action regarding this issue.”
Responding to such criticism, a representative of Yahoo Korea explained on December 2nd, “There was a problem with the server overloading, however, we have not been able to confirm a manipulation of the poll results. We are still inspecting the reasons behind these errors.”
They carefully continued, “We cannot reveal a correct set of poll results without fully completing our investigation. We cannot confirm anything for now.”
Meanwhile, according to the online poll results on the site, Jang Geun Suk ranked 1st place for the ‘Male Buzz Star’ category for this year’s ‘Buzz Awards’.

I agree that Yahoo doesn't want to be publicly humiliated that's why they're trying to ignored our complaints. All I know is the calculation is wrong and us fans is and will be working our ass off and do wat's right to show our support.
ReplyDeleteThis issue is to be settle by YAHOO. They are responsible to investigate the matter FAIRLY. All invalid votes must be void. They should stick to their rules that each voter can only vote once every 10mins (excuse me if I got the number wrong). 'Auto click' system should not be allowed as the system was not provided by YAHOO. The FINAL RESULT must be GENUINE and audited before releasing out to the public.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love our leader so.. I somehow started to feel that I wish he doesn't have to be involved in this mess anymore... I know he wins... cos we did vote fair but I also feel that if he gets the award there will be a lot of people who will start to hate him just because their idol didn't win.. just like I started to dislike the guy that is said to be in the first place... though I did like him quite a lot. I know it's nothing to do with the stars themselves but I do feel that I don't like that guy as much anymore... So I don't wish Hyun Joong to be dislike by people.... though I know the voting result was fair and I was extremely furious at the time.... Just want more and more people to love HKJ rather than more people starting to dislike him...
ReplyDeleteTypo.. I mean the voting result was unfair....
