The 2007 Mnet KM Music Festival awards ceremony, which rounds up the most popular music and artists of the year, is once again being criticized for the fairness of their awards system, and the absence of artistes.The 9th MKMF awards was broadcast live from Seoul's Jamshil Indoor Stadium, with the broadcast lasting 4 hours.
However, before the ceremony commenced, singers Shin Hyesung and Lee Minwoo announced that they would not be attending, causing problems to the programme schedule and lineup. Shin Hyesung and Lee Minwoo questioned the fairness of the awards system via their respective management companies, and announced their non-participation approximately 1 hour before the show. Lee Minwoo had even completed all the rehearsals but chose to cancel the performance and leave the venue, as a result this caused some problems to Park Jin Young's comeback stage.
Initially Lee Minwoo planned to join in Park Jin Young's comeback stage "JYP Is Back" to perform "She's Pretty" together, however he cancelled this segment eventually. Thus, Fly To The Sky who planned to perform "Don't Leave Me" couldn't perform as well. The original plan was to have Lee Minwoo and Fly To The Sky perform on each side of Park Jin Young, but to have only one group to perform on one side would make the entire performance look strange.
Due to the sudden cancellations, the awards presenters themselves got confused too.
The Auction Netizen Popularity Award, which is based on 100% of online voting, was awarded to Super Junior instead of Shin Hyesung who ranked #1 in the poll. When the poll closed at 5pm on 16 Nov, Shin Hyesung was leading at #1.
The same thing happened for Lee Minwoo. He had initially ranked #1 for the Auction Style Award but the award wasn't presented at all during the ceremony.
