1. [+247, -7] I don't listen to much music but I think it's unrealistic to demand that every single facet of life has to be 'fair' no matter what. So what if these music shows are difficult for other singers to get on? It's not like broadcast shows are obligated to provide stage time to every unpopular singer there is, and they have no reason to either. "Unfair"? Why should any rookie be given the same opportunity as these three just to be fair? Isn't that actually unfair?

2. [+136, -32] I don't get how it's  unfair.. I love SSAK3 ㅎㅎ

3. [+80, -6] The music industry is shrinking, barely worth a fist of anything, and SSAK3 is blowing new life into it. The industry should be grateful insetad of rolling in jealousy and envy while acting like they're taking away what should be theirs, tsk tsk.

4. [+75, -13] If we're going to debate what's fair, then it's unfair that people think SSAK3 shouldn't be given these opportunities just because they're old... Rain's still a great dancer, Lee Hyori can still sing, and Yoo Jae Suk is the visual member.

5. [+73, -11] Lee Hyori is still so, so pretty, and Rain is still as grand as ever. They both are the most successful solo singers of their time and I can tell why judging by their voices, charms, and dancing abilities.

6. [+41, -1] Well how many years have we put up with girl groups who have no music talent at all? I'm more sick of that than this.

7. [+26, -0] I do agree that SSAK3 does seem to be getting a lot of push and support but they're two talented singers with one vibe maker who are deserving of it, no? These three are just doing their jobs with their tools at hand. They're veterans of their field so of course they're going to be further ahead than most people. I feel like the people complaining about them are just whiny babies.

8. [+25, -1] Unfair or whatever nonsense aside... I like SSAK3 for bringing back the 90s vibes!!!

9. [+23, -1] What's so unfair~ they're donating all of their music profits anyway~~

10. [+23, -2] But really, which age group is the one with the issue with this? Teens? Twenties? SSAK3 is a genre for us people who are sick of trot, auto-tuned idol music, and undecipherable rap music. Do you guys honestly think any top singer can pull off this kind of success like SSAK3? Absolutely not.
