Mnet’s new show ‘IDOL FESTA ATTACK’ is already stirring up drama.
The controversy started when fans spotted that several major K-pop groups were missing from the lineup. This led to backlash online about favoritism and unfair treatment by Mnet.
Soon after the announcement, netizens flooded social media, demanding explanations on why certain popular idols were excluded while others were featured prominently.
As the situation heated up, Mnet released an official statement addressing the concerns:
“The casting for ‘IDOL FESTA ATTACK’ was based on multiple factors including availability, concept fit, and scheduling conflicts. We respect all artists and hope for fan understanding.” – Mnet Representative
Despite the explanation, fans remain divided. Some accuse Mnet of bias, while others defend the network’s selection process.
The show is set to air on August 15, 2025, and this early dispute could impact its hype.
Mnet is currently monitoring the situation closely but has declined to provide further comments.
Expect more updates as fans continue to react.
