2017 MAMA ILLEGAL VOTING

Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) is one of the major Korean award ceremonies and an annual event. Last November 2, 2017, a news was released that 2017 MAMA Voting will be down from 4-8am KST on November 3 to check and delete any illegal votes that happened from the start of voting, October 26, 2017 to November 1, 2017.

As what Mnet had said, the system was down for 4 hours. After the resumption of votings, EXO leads once again all the categories they are nominated beating the BTS who were leading before the removing of illegal votes which made fans happy and at the same time enraged and confused. 

Not only the group EXO and BTS that the votes were removed, but also other artists.
