Q. "It seems to be the trend lately for idol groups with the talent to produce themselves being at the top, like B2ST or Block B."

Rhymer. "I predict that idol groups who aren't able to produce for themselves will all be dead by next year. There will be less and less room for idol groups who only receive tracks from their composers and reiterate it like machines. Before, idols were praised for releasing self-compositions, but now, idol groups that can produce for themselves with bigger and better ideas will increase."

Q. "There definitely has been too many idol groups who have everything produced for them."

Rhymer. "There are kids who literally say, 'I don't know anything. Please help me.' When I ask them their opinion on something, they reply back, 'I don't know. Decide for me.' I find that there's a problem with that."

1. [+1,167, -167] He's right... these idols, all they do is receive tracks from famous composers and just dance a bit on stage before heading back in... How does that make them singers?? They're just dancers at that point. I still can't believe Lee Soo Man asked people to take lip syncing as a song genre ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+704, -255] But isn't the point of idols to just sing and dance to whatever songs they're given? Now they're expecting idols to compose for themselves? ㅋㅋㅋ Then I'm sure they would've become composers, not idols ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+163, -14] How about you manage your own artists. One's writing lyrics like 'faggot bitch' and another one's parodying the ISIS tragedy on SNS ㅡㅡ

4. [+143, -24] Then should actors know how to write movie scripts? ㅋㅋ And it's not only idols who receive songs from composers, other artists do too. Sure idols lack singing talent but each group has at least one talented member.

5. [+78, -1] A bit hypocritical of him as a hip hop company to put down idols when so many hip hop and idol collaborations are becoming hits nowadays ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+70, -1] He's right but hip hop has no difference from idols in that they all rely on stimulative lyrics and exemption from the army...

7. [+28, -0] Why do people expect singers to be able to compose and write lyrics? The very definition of someone is someone who just sings. Someone who sings, composes, and writes lyrics is called a singer-songwriter. Singers are supposed to receive tracks from composers and sing it in their own emotional way. But of course, there is a problem like he mentioned with idols saying they don't know anything about anything.

8. [+25, -0] People have been talking about idols who only rely on looks disappearing since the days of FinKL and SES ㅋㅋㅋ
