1. [+15,670, -131] But you make a living off of selling songs with lyrics about people weaker than you, sicker than you.. labeling them these things too

2. [+11,253, -111] Lee Sang Min and Kim Gura suffer from panic disorders too but their talents were never underrated because of it. Your panic disorder is not the reason people judge you. People are judging you over the way you choose to live your life.

3. [+7,667, -87] He tries to act like he's the victim, but the hopeful one who still lives life each day the best he can. Then he acts like a tryhard on SNS and targets those who are weaker than him as topics of his lyrics.

4. [+3,975, -87] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+1,927, -15] And why's he saying all this on the BBC for?..

6. [+1,829, -22] I still don't get how he's sane enough for TV but not enough to serve in the army

7. [+1,709, -11] Funny how he only "realizes his mental illnesses" after he has to enlist for the army ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+1,587, -19] Seems like he went on the BBC just to criticize Koreans

1. [+1,895, -54] If you have so many mental illnesses like you claim, then just live a quiet life and stay off of TV

2. [+1,622, -36] Does he think he has swag for talking crap about Korea on a foreign channel?

3. [+1,448, -35] Celebrities really have it so easy;;;;;

4. [+88, -2] Korea's #1 most pathetic rapper, that's him

5. [+80, -2] Love how he didn't realize he was mentally ill until he had to go to the army

6. [+64, -3] Koreans have never looked down on mental illnesses. What we took a problem with is the fact that you used it to get out of the army when medical exemptions are only reserved for people with extremely severe cases.

7. [+59, -2] Why couldn't he just say "a lot of people", why did he have to specifically say "Koreans"? He's a Korean person making money off of Korean people and yet he's giving foreign interviews putting his own country down? Does he have no respect for his own country?? He really is sick in the head, isn't he?????

8. [+46, -1] A Korean rapper talking crap about Korea on the BBC... he's really of another class

9. [+19, -0] His interview in a nutshell: Koreans are dumb and barbaric in understanding these issues.
He's really trying to blame us for all the crazy things he did to get his army exemption.

10. [+16, -0] Koreans aren't underrating you because you're mentally ill. We're underrating you because you claim to be so sick that you can't finish your army service and yet you act like such a tryhard all the rest of the time.
