1. [+1,172] Bang Shi Hyuk needs to cut the crap out

2. [+907] Bang Shi Hyuk is crossing the line

3. [+899] What a load of bull ㅋㅋ Hybe is ruining K-Pop. Please stay in your lane...

4. [+392] Why mess with SM anyway?;;

5. [+347] Ugh this is giving me high blood pressure

6. [+190] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but this isn't really that funny at all

7. [+135] Out of the top 3 agencies, SM has the most unique world building out of all of them. Stay in your lane and stop trying to ruin what doesn't need your input.

8. [+394] Big Hit, please stay in your lane. EXO-L and Armies already have a bad relationship, can you imagine what would've happened if Hybe actually acquired SM? Thankfully SM declined but please stop trying to mess with larger agencies.

9. [+117] What the f*ck is Bang Shi Hyuk doing? Does he think this is some big Sim City game? Is he collecting characters? 

10. [+304] The fandoms would've been an absolute mess if Hybe really acquired SM, what the f*ck

11. [+138] Nope, even if I die, nope

12. [+60] This isn't as simple as you're all thinking and doesn't have anything to do with the idol groups. It's a business. Kakao and Naver are also fighting over SM shares as well, and it's mainly an issue between stocks and business, not idols. It's easier for businesses to acquire or get acquired to shave off subsidiaries that aren't making profits.. 😂

13. [+38] Bang Shi Hyuk, stay in your lane

14. [+113] What the f*ck is he trying to do now?

15. [+31] Wait, did Bang Shi Hyuk really think this was even possible?
