It was reported that the recording file mentioning text voting was directly found on the mobile phone of Mnet Produce X 101.

JoongAng Ilbo reported today that the Seoul National Police Agency's Cybercrime Investigator confirmed that there was a recording file that mentioned the operation directly on the mobile phone produced by Produce X 101. In addition to the controversial Season 4, manipulation of other seasons is also reported.

The producers of 'Produce X 101' are suspected of manipulating live paid text voting in their last live contest in July. The votes of the trainees from 1st to 20th are all analyzed in multiples of '7494.442'.

As controversy escalated, Mnet sent the police directly to the police to investigate the Produce X 101 program last month.

On March 31st, the Seoul Police Agency seized and searched the producer X producer CJ E & M office and text voting data archiver. In addition, after acquiring recorded files directly mentioning the operation, on the 12th, a second seizure search was conducted on CJ E & M's office and crew's residence.

It is reported that the police are now considering applying the allegations (obstructions) to the production teams that interfered with the work of CJ E & M by presenting the rankings of the participants differently based on the results of the fabricated voting. However, a police official said, "Speaking about the progress of the investigation may correspond to a fact-finding announcement, and it is not something that can be confirmed in detail."
