Many fans found fault and criticized the decision. As well as announcing the changes at the end of the “monitoring period”, the new criteria seemed less transparent and more subjective, which meant it would be harder to understand what the judges were looking for.

Some have more mixed feelings and, while they understand the change, are skeptical about how it will be executed, especially considering Mnet’s past reputation.
