A new statement has been released regarding the controversy over vote counts for the “Produce X 101” finale.

Following continued backlash after the release of the previous explanation, Mnet released a new statement on July 26.

The statement reads as follows:

First of all, we deeply apologize for causing controversy regarding the vote results and announcement for the “Produce X 101” live show. Mnet carried out an internal investigation following the controversy, but the judgment was made that there may be limitations in verifying the facts. As a result, we have submitted a request for investigation to an investigative agency with public credibility. Mnet will actively cooperate with the investigation to clearly reveal the facts, and we will take responsibility if necessary. We once again express deep apologizes for causing trouble.
