#GlobalOTTAwards <People's Choice Award> Voting Notice]
Greetings from KISF.
In connection with the <People's Choice Award> voting currently underway at Bugs Favorite for the Global OTT Awards, we have identified certain abnormal participation patterns and are conducting continuous monitoring and verification in cooperation with the platform operator.
Upon review, it has been confirmed that across both the male and female categories of the <People's Choice Award>, there have been numerous cases of account registrations using irregular domains and abnormal voting activity. As a result, we are implementing additional registration restrictions on the relevant accounts and conducting a thorough data review.
This issue is not limited to any specific nominee or category, but has been identified as a complex pattern appearing broadly across the top rankings.
Bugs Favorite, the voting platform operator, will conduct a comprehensive and precise audit of all data following the close of voting in order to ensure a fair outcome. During this process, any votes that do not meet the platform's operational policies and standard participation criteria will be deemed invalid and excluded from the final tally.
Accordingly, there may be discrepancies between the real-time vote counts and the final results. To ensure a thorough and impartial data review, the vote results will be set to private after voting closes and until the final results are officially announced.
Furthermore, due to the detailed verification process, the final results announcement — previously scheduled for Monday, June 2nd at noon — will be postponed and released once the review has been fully completed. We sincerely ask for your generous understanding.
We kindly ask all fans to participate in voting through legitimate means, and we will continue to do our utmost to ensure fair and trustworthy operations going forward.
Thank you.
