1. [+4,947, -174] It's not necessarily EXO's fault but SM really should've canceled ticketing at a time like this. SM's hopeless...

2. [+3,876, -335] So, EXO fans, did you all succeed in your ticketing?

3. [+3,645, -201] Can't believe people are actually trying to buy tickets to concerts at a time like this.. hopeless.

4. [+2,921, -16] I can only pray that there are more survivors.

5. [+2,519, -173] I'm so embarrassed as an EXO fan. SM did postpone schedules till the 17th but they can also postpone ticketing, why didn't they? I can't believe people are blaming this on EXO as well..

8. [+468, -25] As a Block B fan, I'm so thankful that they're not releasing their album digitally. I want to hear about news of the survivors first and foremost, good music can wait until after. I'm also glad A Pink canceled their fan meet.. I hope that at least one more survives.

3. [+267, -29] Can't believe someone's actually accusing them of media play. Everyone's worried over this tragic event.

Amidst an interview with a Busan University shipbuilding engineer professor, anchorman Son Suk Hee asked if there was any hope for the survivors in the ship once resuce efforts began pumping oxygen inside. "Conclusively, there's a very low chance." There were 10 seconds of silence as he tried to collect himself upon hearing that.

1. [+383, -8] I've never seen anchorman Son Suk Hee lose his emotional control like that.

2. [+326, -8] His silence... represents the feelings of our nation.. We're all scared of saying that one thing in case it becomes true.. Please just save those young kids ㅠㅠㅠ

3. [+269, -11] He's the top when it comes to anchors, I've never seen him lose control on broadcast like this...

4. [+28, -2] The cold and smart Son Suk Hee-ssi also seems to have blood running through him...

5. [+24, -1] Other experts also said that there's a low chance as well... I'm sure they all mean one thing, just that it's hard to put it in words... They're all talking as if we should be expecting a miracle....... This is driving me crazy.. ㅠ
