1. [+61, -0] Boys' Republic ㅋㅋ What an idiotic team name ㅋㅋ

2. [+44, -2] Boys' Republic ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ their name ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+37, -4] Why is it that people are so forgiving with Lee Hi's media play, is it because she's from YG? Anyway, this group's name makes them seem like ZE:A's rivals ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+31, -1] Media play is really frustrating but... what can you do, they're rookies.. ㅠㅠ I understand.. As long as you have the quality to back it up. Since they're from Universal Music, they can't be that stupid... I hope they survive the idol competition.

5. [+33, -7] ㅋㅋㅋ People are so hateful towards rookies doing media play ㅋㅋ Do you guys think this is the 90s? Where you get popular and hit daebak just for having a good song like Yangpa? ㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, this group's name is ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋ Boys Republic ㅋㅋ
