1. [+2,201, -44] I can kind of see why SM wouldn't want to return. They train them all only for them to turn around contract with another company. And SM probably has a slew of trainees at their disposal anyway.

2. [+1,943, -26] SM doesn't cast any of the kids anyway ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+1,688, -32] If SM wasn't able to find a kid they wanted in two seasons, doubt it's worth their time returning for a third.

4. [+608, -22] SM characteristically wouldn't want a face so known by the public since they start their idols off with the mysterious concept. I'm sure they have tons of talented trainees already with them anyway.

5. [+504, -8] Not like SM ever had any interest in public audition programs. If they weren't able to find someone by now, not worth investing any more time.

6. [+483, -62] Well, I'll be missing BoA's judging. She was the cleanest when it came to judging talents and I found myself agreeing with her a lot.

7. [+460, -85] The contestants were probably not visually attractive enough for SM, which is why YG is picking them all up ㅋㅋ and I'm sure SM has trainees that could beat all of the contestants in terms of skill. Better to focus their resources on the trainees they do have.
