1. [+92, -6] People keep saying 15& is a failure but... their songs have always charted in the top 5 and people consistently listen to them so how is that failure? Just because they don't promote on music shows or win on them doesn't mean they've failed. Then all of the ballad singers should be considered failures too.

2. [+61, -7] I think Jimin should've gone to promote in America when her 'Rolling In the Deep' cover from 'K-Pop Star' got her attention from American stars tweeting about her and CNN and ABC inviting her to their shows... She rejected all of them and stayed on 'K-Pop Star' but she lost attention to Lee Hi towards the end. If only SBS let her go on some American shows while she had the opportunity, she would be popular now and gotten the 'K-Pop Star' show more well known.

3. [+46, -4] Should've been solo from the start... Lee Hi was originally going to be in a group too but went solo and hit daebak. Park Jimin should've gone solo and later joined a group... she lost her color by starting in a group first.

4. [+38, -7] It's because JYP keeps giving her quiet, melancholy songs. Park Jin Young keeps forcing this girly, emotional concept on her when Park Jimin can pull off powerful high notes. She hit daebak on 'K-Pop Star' for her powerful American songs, not mousy little Korean ballads that Park Jin Young keeps driving her towards.

5. [+28, -2] Really looking forward to 15& in the next 10 years... Stop saying they've failed. They're going to hit it big sooner or later.
