[+390] Please don't teach China our trade secrets...

[+214] He hasn't learned anything from EXO..?

[+203] Ah... We've been begging him all his career to just stick to casting idols and now he's out to sell our country to them instead. He's really selling our country for his own greed.

[+120] Why?? Why CCP kids??? He must've gotten a big investment

[+73] I'd prefer an American group than Chinese...

[+61] He's basically voluntarily creating a future group of ambassadors to promote the claim that Korean culture belongs to China ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+48] So is he selling K-Culture to China now?

[+37] He's making C-Pop now?

[+35] So he can get backstabbed again?

[+35] This fool is never going to wake up

[+34] It'd be hilarious if he hired Jessica as his director ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+29] He's basically going to leak all of our trade secrets 😢

[+24] Guys, we need to stop associating him with SM... He got kicked out from an internal fight. I'd want to start over fresh somewhere else as well... What we should be more concerned about is K-Pop trade secrets being leaked out. China is eventually going to catch up.. and Lee Soo Man will be the one to speed that up by 20 years;;

[+21] Let him get backstabbed hard this time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he's always trained Chinese kids only for them to terminate their contracts and run off ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+20] He should stop trying to make more money and just retire comfortably

[+12] I bet you he's going to announce soon that the origin of K-Pop is China too 

[+11] I have never wanted more than for him to be sued by every single Chinese idol he produces ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I remember when I was deep into stanning EXO, Luhan, Kris, and Tao all filed their lawsuits;;; Seems like this gramps has dementia and forgot all about it

[+7] He's still so obsessed with China, meanwhile China's still upholding their Hallyu ban ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+6] He has to be Chinese at this point

[+6] Anyway, seems like the trend in K-Pop lately is all the foreign members gaining more fame and the Korean members actually taking the backseat ㅋㅋ Haven't you all been noticing that? Feels like Korea's on the decline
- [+8] Are you Chinese? All of the top tier K-Pop groups are Korean members only like BTS and Black Pink
- ^ Nearly half of the fourth generation groups are made up of foreign members. Agencies also favor foreign members more, especially Thai members.
- [+1] New Jeans is not half foreign. Aespa is not half foreign. TXT? ENHYPEN? Can you please point me towards a fourth generation group where half of them are made up of foreign members?

[+4] This crazy 🐕xx

[+4] Ajusshi, aren't you Korean....;;;;
