1. [+897, -30] Honestly, JYP can get rid of everything else and just focus on launching new girl groups and be able to maintain their 'big agency' title just off of that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+815, -54] JYP is better than YG. They know what the public likes and are thorough with their planning.

3. [+676, -24] JYP knows to hit that calculator after suffering through what happened with the Wonder Girls~~

4. [+62, -2] Looks like they're really planning to focus on Got7, Twice, and ITZY. I think this is the right way to go. Sure, actors are great to have, but it's better to focus on training idols as your main bread and butter. Way better than YG, who is on the decline now after investing in random clubs, restaurants, make up, and drugs.

5. [+40, -6] This is probably best for their actors too. JYP's acting system was a mess. Shin Eun Soo was a decent actress at 13... but at 16 now, she's pretty behind and awkward. What exactly did they teach her in those four years?

6. [+33, -4] All they need is twice for at least the next several generations to live comfortably off of

7. [+32, -8] I wonder how envious Park Jin Young is of Bang Shi Hyuk. I'm so glad Bang Shi Hyuk is the one behind their success. Imagine if it was Park Jin Young... that crazy arrogance... just thinking about it terrifies me ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+26, -0] Good decision. Not good to be doing too much.

9. [+22, -0] I noticed most JYP actors leave the company once they get their training and fame anyway ㅋㅋ Best not to train them at all if they're just going to leave.

10. [+20, -6] JYP doesn't have any good singers either. They have good dancers, though.
