1. [+516, -22] What in the absolute f*ck is this
2. [+364, -23] What a great idea. Let's throw all the stupid fangirls on those islands and put them in a battle royale. Whoever is the last survivor in the end gets to live with their favorite celebrity for a month. I bet you there will be volunteers.
3. [+348, -17] Why do we pay these people our taxes to spout this bs
4. [+16, -3] Are all of the higher officials in our country suffering from something...
5. [+13, -2] This sounds stupid...
6. [+12, -1] Then what happens when the groups retire or disband? You change the name of the island? You think creating something like 'EXO Island' will bring in tourism income? More like it's going to break the backs of stupid fangirl parents paying for their trips there.
7. [+11, -4] Doesn't sound like a bad idea considering the majority of Korean tourists are related to Hallyu stars. The problem is that stars are only popular for a life span of 5 years... Instead of naming an entire island after the star, just create a small Hallyu park inside of it. Anyway, where are they going to get the investment funding for this?? And it's not like Hallyu is guaranteed to be financially viable forever...
8. [+10, -3] Sounds so dumb
9. [+10, -4] This is hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I actually laughed in real life. So in about 100 years, our grandchildren are going to be reading about EXO islands in their history books. How exciting.
10. [+6, -0] Are these people battling each other to see who can spout the most nonsense bs
