On January 18th, SBS MTV's 'The Show' announced on social media that they will be changing the scoring criteria for the music program.
Previously, the program gathered up the points in various parts dividing up the score consideration with 40% Digital, 10% Albums, 20% Video Score, 15% Broadcast Score, 5% Pre-voting, and 10% Live Text.
With the new criteria, they will count up the scores from 40% Digital, 10% Albums, 20% Video score, 15% Broadcast Score, and 15% Live text. They will be getting rid of the pre-voting score, which removed 5% from the final score.

While the scoring system became simpler to calculate, many international fans are disappointed that it would be more difficult to vote for their favorite artists without the pre-votings included in the scoring. Some say the show is making changes for the worse by taking away the chance for international fans to vote since the popularity of K-pop is spreading globally.
I canโt believe it.๐ญif I understand it right theyโll remove pre-vote and live vote. Thatโs one of the things we international fas can contribute a lot especially that most of us canโt stream songs on Korean music sites.๐ญI hope @sbsmtvtheshow will re-consider bringing it back.โค๏ธ

this decision makes no sense, especially because kpop is becoming more globally recognised hence it should've stayed the way it was. by doing so, you're literally shutting our influence which was already small, considering how streams on k-digital platforms >>> views on YouTube

and only sms voting ??? most of the artists have huge international fanbases. we can now do nothing to help our faves ???????????
So what will you do with those of us who have bought prime members and votes? Do you know how much loss you've done to overseas fans by suddenly making this decision?

And also vote via SMS is unfair to the artists who have huge fanbase oversea.
Are you ready to account for these?
please think about us international fans, we also try to contribute but like this is practically impossible. what can we do to support our favorite artists if you give us no way? i hope you can change it back to how it was before. @sbsmtvtheshow

Isnt The Show the easiest one to get a win on? Maybe they got tired of being looked down on.
