4minute's Korean title actually translates to something like "how's the water there?" which is a phrase guys normally use to ask whether girls at a club are hot or not. It's a bit derogatory.

1. [+485, -18] If you take a look at all of the songs unfit or problematic, they're usually by Brave Brothers... He's always using autotune and incorporating lewd elements to his songs..

2. [+400, -18] Where do you think the water's better at, 'Soo massage parlor' or '17 massage parlor'?

3. [+329, -15] The water's best at the massage parlors ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+39, -2] Brave Brothers was originally a gang member who managed prostitutes at prostitute towns. He's just an all around dirty guy who uses his dirty experiences in his songs.

5. [+32, -2] Why would a female group use the term "how's the water" themselves? Even though Brave Brothers is the one that composed the song, the phrase itself is used by lowly men who sexualize women and view them as products worth nothing more than for their looks. Why would women ever want to use a phrase like that as their title?

6. [+25, -2] Really? Idol groups are even asking how's the water now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our country's girl groups are daebak...

7. [+23, -0] The fact they know what people think of that phrase and yet they're using it as their title anyway is problematic

8. [+16, -0] Their title really is problematic and this would normally warrant a lot of hate but people are still too caught up in the celebrity soldier business ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+10, -6] Look at that title ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ How's the water? Way to turn yourself into a 3rd rate group

10. [+9, -2] What is wrong with their title?
