Article talks about YG's prostitution scandals, stockholders losing trust in SM due to controversy over their outflow of funds, as well as EXO scheduled to enlist this year, and JYP's recent stroke of bad luck with Mark's dating rumors and Twice's latest injuries.

1. [+942, -28] Can't even stand YG anymore

2. [+729, -34] JYP did an all in on their all Japanese girl group and their stocks have been on the decline for half a year now. They're at their limits with Got7 and Twice as their stocks continue to plummet ㅠㅠ

3. [+47, -3] Honestly, only the stupid fangirls of these agencies are the ones worried for them ㅋ As if anyone cares that a big corporation like any of them are at risk right now

4. [+36, -10] Don't know about SM and JYP but YG is probably hitting their biggest crisis right now. I bet they'll be completely bankrupt in a few months.

5. [+27, -6] The 'top 3' has no meaning anymore

6. [+27, -9] I get that JYP's kind of problematic right now because they have a lot of Japanese members but it's unfair to associate YG in the same title as them

7. [+25, -15] Let's focus the hate on YG, leave SM and JYP alone...

8. [+20, -4] If you looked into any of the three agencies, you wouldn't find anything clean, I bet. JYP is so bad at producing male idol groups.

9. [+19, -4] Kim Yong Ho, an industry department head, talked about this on YouTube. He talked about how Hallyu brought in a wave of Japanese investments that helped solidify our entertainment companies before turning over to Chinese investments, but they're all becoming slaves to Chinese money now, including SM... He predicted that they're going to crumble under the pressure of Chinese investments, the most representative example being Fantagio...

10. [+17, -2] Park Jin Young just wasn't meant for anything international, it seems

11. [+16, -0] These companies can fail all they want, they're probably all rich enough to not worry anyway
