1. [+464, -29] The problem was never that it was a USB but the fact that it didn't contain digital songs but just a download link

2. [+429, -25] An album is only an album if it contains music, how can a link be considered music?

3. [+394, -23] There have been artists before GD who released USB albums but they were never a problem because they contained digital songs. GD's only has a link which is why it's controversial.

4. [+24, -1] So can artists now release pieces of paper with a download link on them and have it be acknowledged as albums? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+24, -2] How can this be considered an album when the music is basically gone if the link is dead?

6. [+15, -2] GD, just put the music files in the USB

7. [+15, -5] They really don't understand the point of the issue, this USB is really just an empty shell

8. [+14, -4] Why even make it a USB if you're just going to put a link on it? Make it a floppy disk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+1,440, -192] Who even buys CDs anymore

3. [+1,277, -205] It should've been acknowledged as an albunm all along... Gaon needs to keep up with the times

4. [+852, -171] Love you GD hyung

5. [+275, -33] Only now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ at least GD is changing the rules

6. [+253, -31] Gaon was the only chart that didn't acknowledge it and they were so stubborn about it too. What's it matter what an album looks like as long as it has music?

7. [+244, -36] Doesn't matter, doesn't change the fact that it's an amazing album

8. [+231, -30] GD eventually got it in his favor
