According to the indictment report, Mnet's chief director Kim and director Ahn actively took part in handpicking the 12 and 11 members that would debut as IZ*ONE and X1.
The director flipped the rankings of contestant 'G' and contestant 'H', eliminating 'G' from Wanna One and putting in 'H' instead to debut as a member of the final project group.
From January 2018 to July 2019, director Ahn received more than 46.83 million won (approximately 39,400 dollars) from five executives from four different entertainment agencies, in exchange for their trainees' appearance on the shows including favorable editing during the program.
