1. [+987, -23] Even if he still has earning potential left, how could you still renew his contract?

2. [+876, -14] ㅋㅋ I guess they don't have much other talents to train to his level

3. [+680, -20] Does Japan not care about a star's character? At least they know he doesn't have a chance in Korea so they're sending him to Japan...

4. [+25, -0] Japan has a great concert culture so it's more profitable for the company to put out a few albums and put him on tour ㅋㅋ and the Japanese are super lenient when it comes to their male celebrities

5. [+24, -4] I'm surprised he's still profitable

6. [+20, -3] I remember in the past, Kim Hyun Joong used to be like the #2 or #3 Korean male celebrity in sales in Japan. Japanese fans are super loyal so even the most scandalous of Korean stars would make money there...

7. [+19, -4] They're probably going to promote him overseas than in Korea anyway...

8. [+19, -4] He's that infamous butthole killer?

9. [+17, -1] Think about it, Koreans have no problem liking Hollywood celebrities with problematic scandals too

10. [+15, -4] Either Key East is a saint or they don't care about business anymore

11. [+14, -1] Japanese fans have a tendency to stay loyal to their celebrities... no matter what scandal happens... It's one of the reasons they have such a large fanbase of older fans as well. Just look at Yonsama, they like him until now just off of one drama ike 'Winter Sonata'...

12. [+8, -0] He's still popular overseas so I guess they still have something to milk
