1. [+144, -13] Big Hit is preparing to screw us over all over again this year. I can already see them overworking the boys again.
2. [+135, -10] Didn't Big Hit say they were going to let BTS rest? But what? They're discussing solos, units, varieties, and acting gigs?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And discussions for American Hustle Life 2 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So they can be overworked overseas again learning hip hop and doing dangerous missions? Please just let them rest
3. [+124, -11] Woollim needs to debut their new boy group this year no matter what... think of how old Lee Daeyeol is!!!!!!!! They took forever releasing Lovelyz too with all the member changes until it was postponed to 2014. Woollim, please release the rookie boy group within the year.
4. [+76, -0] YG and Big Hit have one thing in common and it's that they're professionals at pissing off their fans. YG doesn't have enough comebacks and Big Hit has too many comebacks.
5. [+69, -1] BTS needs to rest and YG needs to schedule more comebacks
6. [+39, -0] I love how all of YG's plans are still in discussion ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+30, -0] Cube's an idiot
8. [+30, -0] So where is Winner you disgusting Hyun suk
9. [+29, -0] I doubt YG is going to keep any of their plans, even Winner's comeback teaser is nowhere to be found...
10. [+28, -0] Woollim-ah ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ please debut the rookie boy group ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Daeyeol's already 25 years old now ㅠㅠ it's going to be so late if he doesn't debut within the year ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
11. [+26, -0] AkMu under discussion, Katie Kim under discussion, new girl group under discussion, 2NE1 under discussion, Big Bang and iKON only have concerts mentioned (all in Japan)... so what new year plan did YG actually release? Everything's still in discussion ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
12. [+26, -0] YG, please get to work;;; so frustrating
13. [+24, -0] Please debut Woollim Boys already ㅠㅠ think of Daeyeol's age ㅠㅠㅠㅠ please, I beg of you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
