1. [+499, -32] What a mess

2. [+485, -69] I was actually surprised when I saw this song was #1. How can people listen to a song sung by a kid who used drugs? Can we please have the decency to skip songs made by criminals and plagiarizers?

3. [+369, -55] TOP's stupid fangirls are so busy downvoting everything right now. I feel so sad for them. Why don't they do this service for him too?

4. [+38, -12] I'm a man and I'm not trying to shield him or anything but tons of male celebrities will pre-film movies or dramas that are later released when they're in service so why is this case controversial??

5. [+19, -7] It's a clear violation, this is a mess. He should be reflecting.

6. [+16, -5] I was wondering if this was a violation too. I remember when Psy had to serve his second army service, his releases were deemed controversial at the time too.

7. [+16, -6] Tsk tsk tsk, YG just greedy for that money...

8. [+12, -6] Not trying to shield him but what about all the actors who pre-film movies and still take the income when the movie's released?

9. [+8, -1] I heard U-KISS Kim Kibum set up a separate company when he was in service and basically had a second job paid through that. Not sure what's so wrong about TOP's case.

10. [+6, -2] A lot of other singers have released pre-recorded songs after going into service, or even had CFs be released after. I don't think those were ever called into controversy.

1. [+86, -17] What the ㅋㅋㅋㅋ so many singers have released songs like this all this time, why is it a problem now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+76, -14] 'Flower Road' was recorded during 'MADE', no?? So it was produced in 2015-2016?? And TOP enlisted in 2017, so where's the controversy? It's not a violation of anything. And it's not like they're promoting this song on TV..

3. [+71, -14] So much fuss over a song produced in 2015 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+70, -13] The song was produced in 2015 and 2016, seems like someone didn't like the fact that the song is charting well right now

5. [+64, -11] Why stay quiet when all the other singers did the same thing? This is so random

6. [+44, -6] Everyone stayed quiet when JYJ, Lee Seung Gi, or Wheesung did the same thing but of course it's controversial because it's Big Bang ㅋㅋ the only controversy here is the one made up by the journalist

7. [+42, -7] So many cases like TOP... what's the issue? ㅎ

8. [+41, -6] People are just jealous that it's doing well ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ if they suddenly say that it's not allowed, then all the singers who've released songs during service should be investigated too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ they said before that pre-recorded songs were fine so why the change? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
