Fans of TWICE have been on an uproar after an apparent error during last Friday's episode of Music Bank on May 27.
On that day, AOA and Twice were in the running for the No. 1 spot on the weekly music show where points were based on digital sales, physical sales, Youtube views, and other factors.
However, during the calculation, there was an error that caused AOA's physical sales numbers to be higher, which led to them achieving a higher score. Thus, AOA ended up winning first place on music bank.
Soon after, a staff member of Music Bank apologized for the mix-up knowing their error.
"The data is normally entered into an excel file, but it seems like the physical sales numbers were typed incorrectly," they said. "t was completely our fault. We apologize for worrying viewers and will make sure this does not happen again."
The trophy will not be taken from AOA. Instead, Twice will be given a new trophy, according to the producer of Music Bank, Shin Mi Jin.
