1. [+373, -12] He used to be an idol known for his innocent looks, now;;;;;;;;;

2. [+301, -12] Should've at least apologized as soon as possible. He had a great image, now look what happened.

3. [+257, -7] SM is the absolute worst

4. [+19, -2] I find the SHINee fans cool for not babying their idols no matter what... You can tell their fans have brains~ Time for this guy to enlist in the arm ynow

5. [+16, -2] SHINee fans are jjang cool. I always found it so hopeless whenever I saw stupid fangirls like "our oppa can do whatever he wants!!!"... fans need to put their foot down like this so that stars learn that behavior like this is unacceptable.

6. [+16, -2] Whether he was conscious of the petitions or not, his fans already seem too disappointed in him...

7. [+14, -2] So was he not going to apologize until the results of the investigations were released? He caused a scandal that made his fans worried and concerned, he should've been out with an apology whether or not the investigation results were out yet. Who would accept an apology so late?

8. [+10, -0] Apologizing for a scandal he caused in summer all the way in winter~

9. [+10, -2] What a waste of time for all the fans who waited for him for the past 4 months... this isn't an award speech, it's no time for him to be mentioning his coworkers and parents in an apology letter

10. [+9, -2] I can hear SM's stocks dropping all the way from here ^^ ㅋㅋ Onew, Sulli, Choi Siwon, Taeyeon, all four of you need to feel so sorry to Lee Soo Man for the rest of your lives

11. [+8, -4] Are you guys naive enough to believe it's only Onew? All your EXO and BTS oppas are doing this behind your backs too. You think your oppas are that innocent? That they're really too busy with international schedules to have time for other things? You're just fools living in an illusion if you believe any of that ㅋㅋㅋ you think international countries don't have night clubs and other forms of entertainment?

12. [+8, -0] Nah... it was quite obvious he was aware of the petitions when he apologized...

13. [+7, -0] Lee Soo Man's blood pressure must be through the roof with Onew, Taeyeon, Kangin, Siwon ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

14. [+6, -0] YG with drugs, SM with sexual harassment or assault!! Seems we have clear concepts for both companies now

15. [+6, -0] So proud of the SHInee fans with how they're handling this. They have good heads on their shoulders just by knowing to criticize their own star when he makes a mistake.

16. [+6, -1] This just shows that a fan who turns on you is scarier than any anti
