1. [+22,035, -748] I'm against bringing him back to Korea. He can commit acts of terrorism in our own country, why bring him back? I'm sorry to his family but I think they need to give up on their son at this point.

2. [+17,540, -467] He's no longer a Korean citizen, he's just a terrorist.

3. [+13,189, -1,656] Wow... I feel so bad for his family.

4. [+11,253, -351] Unfortunate that he made such a decision

5. [+2,055, -61] He's obviously a psycho. With that psycho mentality, I hope he succeeds in slitting the throat of whoever's leading him.

6. [+2,118, -276] His parents are partially at blame here. The kid obviously has a lot more problems than this is letting on. They catered to his every whim, no wonder he knew he could get his way. He didn't want to go to school anymore so they pull him out to homeschool him right away ㅋㅋ He obviously grew up with no social skills. Read in another article that he even threatened to commit suicide if they didn't let him go to Turkey. The parents aren't even complying with investigations because they still believe their son is innocent and that he'd never join a terrorist organization. The police need a recording of his phone call with his younger brother but his parents are refusing. Tsk tsk.

7. [+1,495, -74] So he dropped out of junior high... and learned English on his own and somehow managed to join a terrorist organization. If he only used his smarts to do something better with his life, he would've been so successful. tsk tsk.

8. [+987, -25] Shouldn't they release his face at this point. He might sneak back into the country, who knows when he'll commit acts of terrorism.

9. [+677, -24] Let me just bring attention to the fact that he had 47 pictures of Muslim women saved. Well there's our reason for him joining the IS. He wanted to get married over there.

10. [+639, -13] He left his family and country looking to start a new life as a meat shield.

1. [+1,288, -32] Does he have no consideration for his family at all? If it's true that he joined the IS, please don't let him back to Korea.

2. [+1,210, -27] Heard that the IS recently killed 100 foreigners who tried to escape the IS... I wonder if he can even return at this point. How immature of him.

3. [+1,030, -23] He has no chance of coming back anymore. The IS would never let him go easily.

4. [+914, -29] He gives up his life to bring shame to his family and become a terrorist. What did your parents do to deserve this?

5. [+835, -78] If you're going to come back to Korea, come back dead. It will be upsetting for your parents but it's for the safety of the country and the last good thing you can do for your parents.
