1. [+384, -43] Nobody would care if this was a system they set up from the start but suddenly asking for cash instead of fan gifts... that's a bit suspicious. They should just refuse fan gifts outright and ask the fans to directly donate them to charity themselves. That would've been better for their image. This is a case of a hasty decision gone wrong.

2. [+290, -28] Such an example of a company being the antis to their own artists...

3. [+245, -23] The idea of it... ㅋㅋㅋ Some fandoms donate to charity without being asked to... Why would they specifically ask for money to be sent to their bank account so that they can donate it in turn..?

4. [+26, -7] ㅋㅋㅋ Their fans should be doing this themselves without having to be asked to ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+21, -6] Donate with your own damn money. Stop taking money from your fans.

6. [+14, -5] The problem with the company having a bank account for fan money is that they're taking the money that fans can donate to charities directly themselves. They're also getting marketing out of these donations as well as tax benefits. It's essentially using the fan money to pay their taxes.
