1. [+919, -26] Seems like it's over for them when they've already been on the downfall

2. [+845, -7] They should show at least the minimum amount of respect for their fans when their income relies on them.

3. [+634, -159] So stop wasting your time and money chasing after stars like that and invest that money into improving yourself tsk tsk.

4. [+62, -0] But for fans to close down their fansites means a lot has been building up. They should realize that one fan who turns against you is scarier than 10 antis.

5. [+31, -1] Hul... turned all their fans into antis in one moment. Amazing.

Article: After School under controversy, did they look down on their fans or are they too confident of their fame?

1. [+679, -4] There is nothing scarier than a fan who turns on you because they can be the biggest anti... They should've looked after their fans no matter how lazy they were.

2. [+595, -3] What is so hard about acknowledging your fans when without them, you wouldn't even be filming that very show... All fans ever want is a wave hello, simple things like that...

3. [+497, -6] After School itself was never a popular group aside from Orange Caramel, especially considering how long they're into their debut... I bet the members don't care for the group as a whole and are just looking to individually do well so that they can go into acting later. Their real interests lie in acting and other individual activities, they have no investment in the group itself.

Article: After School reps, "Staff will be disciplined and we promise to create an opportunity for them to communicate with their fans"

1. [+3,927, -210] Please discipline the members more than the staff. Especially Nana.

2. [+3,167, -50] Why do the staff matter when they should be managing their artists since they're the ones treating their fans like fools ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+2,486, -27] Fixing up the agency only after they've lost their fans

4. [+2,423, -47] Disciplining their staff won't solve the problem, the problem is their artists not thinking of their fans

5. [+513, -10] T-ara: 'Welcome! It's your first time facing utter failure, right?'

6. [+501, -6] Way to put all of the blame on the staff;;; Fans said the members didn't greet them too..

7. [+417, -5] It's not because of the staff that fans are upset, it's because of the members

8. [+278, -5] Disciplining the staff won't do anything. Teach After School how to do fan service and be grateful to their fans. Honestly, After School is not in a good place and are at risk of losing their income if they lose their fans. Yell at the members to do better to their fans and help them self reflect.
