1. [+151, -7] BTS and Girlfriend ㅋㅋㅋ the agency of perfect choreography

2. [+115, -3] Bang Shi Hyuk has always been close with Source so this is something that's been in the talks for a while. I wonder who the third agency is ㅋㅋ

3. [+92, -6] What people are misunderstanding is that Source Music is becoming a Big Hit owned label, it's not becoming Big Hit. It's like how companies like CJ or SM have several other labels under them... Don't worry about them using the same floor or anything ㅋㅋ

4. [+19, -0] Their CEOs have always been close. Anyway, the acquisition is done so I wish them the best.

5. [+12, -0] I think they're going to share resources but focus on what each is best at, like Big Hit with male groups and Source with female groups.

6. [+7, -0] Both companies are known for starting from the bottom up with one group... wishing them a win win for all~

7. [+7, -0] Don't BTS and Girlfriend use the same choreographer? ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+7, -0] I hope they stay true to their word and allow Source their independence, a win win for everyone!

9. [+7, -7] Not sure I've felt happy over a piece of Big Hit news in a while...

10. [+6, -21] Don't you dare use the same building

1. [+614, -65] Wow, Big Hit, can't you just stick to what you've been doing

2. [+196, -6] Everyone, we need to wait for the official statement. I refuse to believe anything else. This isn't the first time the media has falsely reported on things.

3. [+117, -5] I'm just going to wait until official news is out

4. [+49, -8] This doesn't feel like something fans get to have an opinion on

5. [+67, -31] Bang Shi Hyuk and Source Music's CEO have always been really close. It's fine that they're joining forces. I'm a Girlfriend fan and don't care for this acquisition, just hope that they don't become an obstacle to each other and synergize well. Both teams are doing great so there's no need to comment on that...

6. [+50, -16] Big Hit has just been doing everything to get on my nerves lately

7. [+45, -12] Bought out of the money that BTS made

8. [+32, -5] Source better focus on Girlfriend and mind their own business. I don't know why Big Hit would do this when they're doing fine as it is, I doubt Source would be of any help to them.

9. [+33, -8] What a joke, Big Hit can't even handle BTS right now

10. [+22, -1] There have been rumors about this for years now, about Big Hit merging with Source and another agency ㅋ
