SBS 'Inkigayo' gets rid of live voting?

Inkigayo Chart Calculation Method
Digital 55%
SNS 35%
Physical Album 5%
Pre-vote 5%

Daum Cafe: Live voting disappeared from today's Inkigayo

- Did this just happen today????  I guess we now have to focus on digitals and youtube views

- Album % shouldn't be increased because then idols would be at more of an advantage, right?  I think this is a good thing...

- Isn't it because not a lot of people typically buy physical albums

- I think digitals are fair.  No matter how many fans you have, if non-fans don't care for your song, it's going to be hard to get a stable #1 on the charts.  So I think this reflects the public more

- They made a good choice getting rid of the votes.  People normally just watch the MV on Youtube and listen to the digital..

- It's like they're not even caring for the physical albums anymore, what's up with 5%???

- This is nice.  I've always felt bad whenever there was an artist who was #1 on the digitals but got won over by idols

- I still think SNS % is too high..

- Physical album percentage is too lowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'd expect at least 20-30%;

- Just go with 60% digital and 40% physical~~!

- Why are people complaining about the Youtube scores, isn't it good for that to be a high %?
> Because if there is no MV, it's 0 pointsㅠㅠ
> For songs that don't have MVs and for ballad MVs that people don't typically watch...

- To be honest I've always thought Inkigayo was the most fair out of all the music shows~

- People aren't born idol fans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They are part of the "public" too, it's the idols power that turned them from the "public" into a "fan", isn't that right?
> ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ For real, we weren't all fans right when we were born ㅋㅋㅋ The fans are the 'public' too

BTS donates 100 million won to 4/16 Sewol Families for Truth and a Safer Society

Requested!

All 7 members donated 10 million won each and their company donated another 30 million won.  This move means a lot and shows that they're not afraid to stand for their beliefs in a situation where people's names get put on the cultural blacklist if they show support for social issues like the Sewol ferry tragedy.  

Herald Pop via Naver: [Exclusive] BTS donates 100 million won to 4/16 Sewol Families for Truth and a Safer Society

1. [+13,624, -460] They've done a good deed. *Claps*

2. [+10,712, -371] That's awesome, deserving of compliments

3. [+10,237, -424] I'm not their fan but that's cool of them....

4. [+9329, -343] That's a great thing to do. Be successful.

5. [+8273, -338] They've got a kind heart tooㅠ

6. [+2947, -83] Speaking up about current events in songs and acceptance speeches, and especially donating to Sewol families. They're a group that deserves to be respected.

7. [+2868, -80] I'm a middle school teacher.  To me, SHINee still seems like a new group and I don't know much about idols butㅠ BTS is a popular group among my female students right now.  I hope they keep doing great deeds like this as a respectable role model for kids and as a group that gives off positivity ^^

8. [+2636, -70] A group with great character.  No matter how much you've come to earn, it's hard to donate money like this.. hope they receive a daesang this year.  Fighting!

Idol trainees and students reveal the special treatment Chung Yoora got in high school

"Showed off her money, had bad manners, and were arrogant." This is how most of the teachers and students at Chungdam High School remembered Choi's daughter.  There was a time when Choi threatened the gym teacher and said, "I can get a little thing like you fired in an instant, Yoora's father won't stand for this."

However, according to the audit, Chung Yoora's school report was filled only with compliments. "She was naturally bright, lively and she would always listen to her friend's worries.  She was a well-rounded person with great relationships as she was kind and warm-hearted."

There were many instances where Chung was not present in class but the teachers would still give her 100% on tests to which the students complained about. When the students protested this, the teacher came to Yoora's defence and said, "[My actions] are like a mom trying to protect her child.  Can't you see she's going through so much to become a national representative [as a horseback rider]?"

Students and teachers were not allowed to wake Chung Yoora if she was sleeping.  A professor commented that they only saw Chung once or twice for a whole semester.  An alumni revealed, "She had no worries because she already had a university to go to, she went to school to sleep and if you woke her up, she'd get angry at you."  Another student said, "Sometimes she'd just drop by in the mornings and go straight home for lunch."

The high school is filled with students entering the entertainment field so there were also many idol trainees.  The teachers were biased and gave Chung Yoora special treatment.  An idol trainee in the same class as Chung once cried and complained to the teacher because only Chung was allowed to leave class early while the idol trainee was not allowed to miss school at all.

Joongang Ilbo via Naver: [Breaking] "Idol trainee in the same class cried because only Chung Yoora was allowed to leave early"

1. [+19,478, -161] I just can't believe something like this happened in this country.  Hope to see Chung Yoora arrested as soon as possible.

2. [+17,373, -133] Life's an ultimate set of corruption.

3. [+13,932, -243] Can't take away their assets anyway so might as well just put them behind bars for life...

4. [+11,670, -140] Yoora, rights always come with responsibility. It's time for you to pay.

5. [+11,066, -440] The Ewha professors and all the teachers involved, put them all in jail!!!  They don't have the right to be qualified teachers, we mustn't let them teach any more children!!! Disclose who they are!!!

6. [+1300, -13] Only ate lunch, went home early and played with her boyfriend.  No wonder she got pregnant when she was a senior in high school.  What did she learn growing up.  Like mother, like daughter.

7. [+1228, -19] Even chaebol kids won't act that bad.  Rich, classless bastards.

8. [+1049, -10] They're just taking this to the extremes, even the teachers "can't remember" stuff...

9. [+902, -8] The money they used to enjoy themselves are the citizen's tax money.

Sejeong opens up about using gov't issued voucher cards for hungry children to afford food

Requested!

"My family's financial situation was very difficult that we got food voucher cards for hungry children supplied by the government.  During breaks when I wouldn't be able to eat school meals , I would use that card.  In a day, I could only use 3,500 won (~$3.00) so I got jjajangmyeon with it, sometimes if I gathered up coupons, I was able to order it with sweet and sour pork."

Sample voucher cards:

Newsen via Daum: Gugudan Sejeong "My family struggled financially, used a food voucher card for hungry children"

1. [+2067, -39] Sejeong, I'm proud of you!!! How pretty!!!

2. [+1964, -34] You can be successful... you're qualified to... she's always so bright even while living in those circumstances... You can see how her mother raised her... I'll support you~

3. [+1763, -33] This girl's very bright, be successful

4. [+609, -8] I'm so relieved that she has such a positive, bright personality along with her pretty face, hard work, and talent.  That kind of environment can turn people into troublemakers or make people blame their own parents... I hope and support for you to be a celebrity that only gets love.  I envy and I'm proud of Sejeong's mother who raised her well.

5. [+554, -12] This is nothing to be embarrassed about.  This kind of story doesn't need to be said with tears.  I like that she told her story proudly with a smile.  What's important is the present.  The way you're always bright and respectful is so beautiful.

6. [+522, -8] I didn't know their situation was that difficult.  As a mother myself, I'm supporting her.  Go and be successful.

7. [+524, -13] Walk only a flower path.

8. [+432, -8] The world should be more like this. Don't be embarrassed if you're poor, and don't feel hurt if you're offered free food. We need to change this policy. People should apply more for these things such as the voucher card for hungry children and for broken families. You shouldn't be embarrassed that you're poor, you should confidently accept the help you need and pay back society later when you grow up.

9. [+316, -10] Aigo.. makes my heart hurt.. It's so nice to see her grow up so brightly. To her parents who helped her grow up so prettily and to young Sejeong, please be happy.

10. [+182, -35] Sejeong, you are great. This ahjussi is your fan now. The fact that she doesn't think her past is embarrassing at all and thinks of her difficulties as stepping stones needs to be complimented more. Because she's always filled with smiles and is just overall very positive, I first thought she grew up in an affluent household so I'm surprised. Fighting!
