The popularity survey to select the most competitive program of the week is based on an analysis of program-related information and netizen reactions that occurred in news articles, VON (Voice of Netizen), videos (video clips and shorts), and SNS. Data unrelated to the program and abusive data intended to artificially inflate popularity scores are filtered out during the processing stage. This process allows for a more accurate analysis of program competitiveness, with an accuracy rate of over 97%.
