KBS.....

you mocked us...you published the 12 finalists under the list "kbs final rounds" and then published a notice saying that "the finalists will be announced this week" to give us more hope to wait!!!!!

YOU CHOSE THE FINALISTS WHILE YOU DIDN'T PUBLISH ALL THE VIDEOS OF THE PARTICIPANTS...

YOU CHOSE THE FINALISTS WHILE THERE ARE COUNTRIES WHO DIDN'T HAVE THEIR PRILIMINARY ROUND YET LIKE INDONESIA !!!

you chose 12 finalists 8 performances and 4 vocals

you should have chosen 6 vocals not 4 and 6 performances not 8 !!!!!

and if you are choosing on continental base, you should have chosen 1 vocal and 1 performance from each continent....

you ignored 2 regions:

AUSTRALIA and MIDDLE EAST!

YOU SHOULD THEN INCLUDE EGYPT AMONG AFRICA AND JORDAN AND ISRAEL IN ASIA TO BE FAIR....BUT THIS IS UNFAIR! AT ALL

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ARE THINKING!

YOU KEPT US WAITING TILL 17 OF AUGUST WHILE KOREA BOO ANNOUNCED THAT NIGERIA IS GOING TO THE FINALISTS ON 21 OF JULY

how is it possibile that Vietnam is among the finalists, when in rules here on this page you wrote that song must have max. 3,30m and it can be mix of max 2 songs?

another rule is that you can use only K-pop songs and Atlanta finalist used "american song" in their mix and is it more than 4m video..

Malaysia video too - video 5,20m...

Canada-Montreal - video 4,20m...

India-video 3,50m...

Why do you even set the rules, when you don't follow them when you are choosing finalists. This is a mockery from you to all the countries who stuck to the rules

AND AGAIN YOU ARE REPEATING THE WINNERS !!!!!

SIXTH win for USA
SIXTH win for RUSSIA
FOURTH time for VIETNAM
THRID win for NIGERIA
THIRD time for MALAYSIA
SECOND time for INDIA
SECOND time for HUNGARY
THANKFULLY first time for CANADA,PERU,SINGAPORE,MADAGASCAR & TURKEY

BESIDES DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE FINALISTS ARE THE BEST OF THE PARTICIPANTS???!! MAY BE BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME TO PUBLISH THE VIDEOS OF MOST OF THE PARTICIPANTS - AND YOU ONLY DID THAT WHEN MANY PEOPLE PROTESTED AND ASKED YOU TO DO THAT- THERE IS A CHANCE FOR ALL THE K-POP FANS ALL AROUND THE WORLD TO JUDGE YOUR CHOICE !!!!! AND IT IS REALLY NOT THE BEST

I AM REALLY REALLY UPSET...NOT ONLY ME BUT MANY FANS WHO WAIT N PARTICIPATE IN THIS FESTIVAL WITH SINCERITY AND PASSION..WE WILL BOYCOTT YOUR FESTIVAL AND JUST DO IT FOR THE COUNTRIES YOU CHOOSE AND THAT'S IT AND SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARRASSMENT AND SAVE US THE MOCKERY !!!!!

I AM REALLY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED !!!!!

I WILL NOT KEEP SILENT AND I WILL LAUNCH A CAMPAIGN TO UNCOVER YOUR UNFAIR JUDGEMENT AND I WILL EVEN COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS TO THE RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITIES IN KOREA

I WILL DO AS MUCH AS I CAN TO REVEAL YOUR UNFAIR ACTIONS !!!!!

is it true that the winners r gonna be chosen according to youtube views?

I know you will ignore me but I will post this anyways.....

I am so upset indeed! I checked the playlist you created on kbsworldtv youtube channel of kpop world festival 2016...the countries you posted their videos were the finalists who traveled to korea to participate in the final festival...even before the results are out...if that's the case this means that the videos you uploaded on your channel this year too will only be the participants in 2017...if that's the case why don't you just clarify this?! we are all waiting eagerly for the results! why don't you clarify your policy?! instead of making all of us waiting ...we thought that you are judging fair but apparently that's not the case...
I made a small statistics about the countries which were chosen in the previous 6 years of the festival and ironically i found that the countries are somehow constant...or at least a portion is constant every year...

JAPAN participated 6 times (every year)

USA,UK,MEXICO,RUSSIA participated 5 times

CHILLE,FINLAND,ISRAEL participated 4 times

LAOS,AUSTRIA,PORTUGAL,MONGOLIA,GREECE,VIETNAM participated 3 times

GERMANY,PHILIPPINES,CHINA,INDONESIA,MALAYSIA,NIGERIA
participated 2 times

16 other countries participated once during the 6 years

this means that only 36 countries of the world participated in the kpop world festival during the 6 years

which means that there is 160 countries didn't even participate once!!!
do you think that there is no talented people in those 160 countries?????!!!!!
don't you think that this is strange and unfair??? if this festival is based upon politics or anything other than talent then please tell us,since we spend alot of time,effort and passion to participate as we think that this is fair...and when we watch the previous participants videos, we find that there are many similar talents like them in many other countries but you just didn't choose them!!! we don't know why! no body knows why! and no body knows your standards...
please clarify your standards and respect the time,effort and passion we spent...we love your culture because it is fair...if not then you will make many people re-question their love and passion over the Korean culture...

If you ignore this then this will be the biggest evidence that this is not fair.....
