1. [+1,305, -30] You really expect teens to only stick to drinking Sprite in there? They'll be sneaking in alcohol and getting wasted and hiding away in the bathroom stalls to smoke ㅋ police better keep an eye on this club

2. [+1,178, -17] Reminds me of the pepsi only clubs back 20 years ago ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+955, -33] Guess we're going to be seeing an increase in teen pregnancy rates

4. [+62, -0] Sure they'll "play safe" in the club and then break up into dates for "bigger fun" somewhere else after ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+52, -1] I'm personally against it... because I know they're going to hang out in the bathroom stalls to smoke and everything. And seriously? 14 years old and you get in?

6. [+49, -1] Why do I get the feeling that all sorts of scandals are going to happen in this club and they're going to end up closing soon...

7. [+44, -0] Any kid that age who has the time to be hanging out at clubs means they're already past the point of help. They'll hang out there until 10 PM doing all sorts of skinship before heading out to do worse things in pairs. It'll basically be a place for foreplay. It's the same as any other club where sex is the end goal, just that alcohol isn't served. At least college students are old enough to stop and go home if they want, you already know that high schoolers are too egotistical to back off in situations like these.

8. [+32, -2] Don't act like this is anything new. We used to have clubs back then that sold only soft drinks. Business got so bad that they started slipping and letting people smoke in the clubs until eventually selling alcohol on the down low as well.

9. [+27, -1] You really expect teens to stay clean just because alcohol isn't served?! ㅋ It's basically going to be a place full of iljins. A room full of egos getting into iljin fights. What a mess for police to have to handle.

10. [+25, -0] I can see it all now: soju inside Sprite bottles, cigarette butts piled in the corners of the room, boys beating each other up over who talked to that pretty girl first... the club's going to shut down in a few months.
