An anonymous source said "It is to my knowledge that the police is investigating Show Me The Money after suspicions were raised that the votes were rigged. Some people in the entertainment business are already aware of the fact that the producers were involved in the voting".

Another source told "Superstar K already ended its series, but the police is still conducting an investigation. The police are asking the producers and staff of the show for cooperation".

A few days ago, KBS also reported that suspicion for vote-rigging was also raised regarding the third season of Produce 101, Produce 48. They reported that vote count difference between each contestant is too even and that the odds are lower than to win the lottery 5 times in a row.
