Mnet’s “ROAD TO MAX” Announces The First Eight Nominees For “ROAD TO M COUNTDOWN” Voting
본문
On April 21st, Mnet announced a new reality competition series, ROAD TO MAX.
The concept for the show is that nominated artists will be given a special stage for ROAD TO M COUNTDOWN. The winning artists will then move on to have a special stage for ROAD TO KCON. And the winning artists of ROAD TO KCON will go on to a ROAD TO MAMA special stage.
The winning artist will get a chance to appear on a special stage for MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards).
While initially there was some worry that this competition would give an unfair advantage to well-known groups from larger companies, Mnet clarified that to qualify for the show, the artists can only be nominated if they’ve already debuted and have “no experience of winning 1st place in M COUNTDOWN.”
big label big fandoms will get everything as usual meanwhile smaller fandoms will be forced to fight a losing battle & small label groups will get robbed of opportunities they could previously get on their own merits pic.twitter.com/XdX5VaLBN6

Although there are concerns about fan wars since the basis of the show revolves around fans voting for their favorite groups…
In general, fans are excited to get the chance to promote some of their favorite artists.
After two weeks of voting, Mnet has finally announced the “1st GEN” nominees for ROAD TO M COUNTDOWN and opened voting for fans. The top three voted groups will be given a chance to appear on a special stage.
