1. [+12,052, -378] Renewing is great and all but SM better do their job right then..
2. [+10,432, -438] I'm sure they'll all renew but I hope SM realizes that it's for the SNSD group and not because SM treats them well. I'm so frustrated with the way SM handled their comeback promos...
3. [+8,383, -562] Hul, I never once considered that SNSD could disband ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm sure they'll all choose the path right for them but for now I still want to see them promote as a group... ㅠㅠ
4. [+6,787, -572] I hope SNSD makes it through..!!
5. [+1,143, -71] I wonder if they only got a week of promos because of the renewal process...
6. [+1,059, -80] Is that why SM didn't promote them enough this comeback? Because it's the renewal period??? No way, right? It'd make me so sad if that was true~ㅠ
7. [+1,043, -74] SM should've supported their comeback promos even more if they knew renewals were on the table, what were they doing?
8. [+776, -52] There's a reason people call SM Sh*tSM...

1. [+1,501, -125] I think they'd be fine just continuing to promote as they are now... no real need to disband...
2. [+1,239, -133] 10 years is quite a long time for a girl group with a lot of members~ please continue to promote well~!
3. [+1,112, -142] Making it to the 10 year mark is amazing already. They're the only group that made it this far out of their fellow debuts. Keep it up!
4. [+105, -24] Taeyeon and Yoona can make money even if they leave SM but the rest of them are hopeless. They have to hold on to SNSD no matter what.
5. [+90, -7] Other than Taeyeon and Yoona, the other members don't stand a chance of making it on their own. They're only able to do solo promos because of the SNSD name. They'll flop harder than even Jessica.
6. [+68, -28] Pretty amazing that they made it to the 10 year mark without any real trouble. You have second generation groups like 4minute already showing discord among the members.
7. [+64, -48] SM has quite a high renewal rate. From 2004 to now, they've kept all their artists other than CSJH which they obviously gave up on. The only members who chose to leave are mostly the Chinese ones who left out of greed.
8. [+58, -3] I guess Sunny's 100% renewal since her uncle is Lee Soo Man and all
9. [+52, -3] Honestly, SNSD... doesn't really have a member who can make it solo unless they have Taeyeon's ballad skills ㅠㅠ..
10. [+51, -7] Yoona, Sooyoung, and Yuri will go into acting, Taeyeon will be solo, which leaves Tiffany, Seohyun, Sunny, and Hyoyeon in awkward positions and a lot to deliberate over

Article: "1 week of promos"... SNSD's 10th anniversary
Source: X Sports News via Nate
1. [+563, -120] I could feel that they aren't as hot as they used to be with this promo... So many younger idols nowadays. SNSD has pretty much been over since Tiffany's scandal. I bet everyone will focus mainly on solo activities now.
2. [+556, -60] Let's get one thing straight: this comeback performed the most poorly on the digital charts than any SNSD comeback. This was still their 10th anniversary... if their new song had done as well as 'Gee', I'm sure they would've kept promoting long past a week even if they didn't want to
3. [+433, -91] Their new song and music video were pretty bad
4. [+71, -7] Even if it's because they were busy, a week still felt too short. Just felt like they were hopping around on a bunch of variety shows the whole time...
5. [+66, -3] This is why their Korean popularity is dwindling... they keep Korean promos short and go on concert tours overseas
6. [+56, -14] They always have the same concept... so tired of it. Didn't WG already do this concept too? At least WG knew to disband as soon as they weren't getting the reactions they used to get, SNSD keeps going and going ㅡㅡ
7. [+49, -8] I think it's just as important for a group to realize when it's time to call it quits
8. [+46, -10] Couldn't even get runner-up for #1...
9. [+46, -12] They media played a ton calling it their 10th anniversary comeback but had to force quit promos because the song was doing so bad~ I remember Sooyoung said she wanted to win a trophy to celebrate their 10th anniversary but it really looks like it's over for them ㅠㅋ
10. [+45, -10] This anniversary comeback proved nothing other than that they're really has-beens. They say it's been 10 years but really their peak was 5 years and they've been keeping the group alive on life support for the other 5 years.
