1. [+2,115, -65] This isn't some concert that comes around every year, shouldn't she attend for the group's sake?;; At least swap out the entire group for a different group then;;
2. [+1,770, -53] I figured this would happen, might as well not go at all. Wouldn't it be better to swap them for a different group?
3. [+1,607, -102] Wouldn't it be better for her career to have experience going to Pyongyang?
4. [+181, -6] Imagine passing on Pyongyang because of this drama... seems like they should swap them for a different group. They're representing Korea... why would we send a group with a member missing...
5. [+176, -5] Her main job is a singer, that should take priority. Isn't her drama recording super low viewer ratings? Like 2.2%?! Just go back to dancing
6. [+155, -6] This isn't some regular concert... this is Pyongyang... and they're the only K-Pop group going... isn't it better to just go as a group?
7. [+139, -6] Seems like they should be swapped out~ they're the only girl group going, it's wrong to send them with a member missing. Send Twice instead~~
8. [+128, -3] SM is so pathetic.. why would you pass on Pyongyang just because of some pathetic drama
9. [+108, -4] Why is she bothering to stay in her group then? She's too greedy... her acting is pretty bad too
10. [+101, -8] Just drop the group ㅡㅡ Pyongyang isn't some joke ㅡㅡ there are tons of groups that can take their place

1. [+1,707, -97] How can you pass on an important event you're representing your country in...;;;; is she not originally a singer?
2. [+1,596, -71] SM should've declined the invitation to begin with, they're too greedy
3. [+1,511, -73] Just send another group, what a nuisance
4. [+181, -7] Honestly, this is really disrespectful... They should've declined if they couldn't send the whole group to give the opportunity to another group... They're the only girl group representing us at Pyongyang and they can't even send the whole show? ㅋㅋ SM is not only disrespectful but they suck at their jobs
5. [+164, -6] Is SM joking right now? Do they think Pyongyang is some local concert show? They really had no idea that her schedules overlapped? They obviously waited until the last second to announce this so that the opportunity wouldn't be passed on to another girl group
6. [+130, -5] Never invite SM to any event for the nation again. They must think these are some college events. How embarrassing to be acting like this when you're being invited to represent your own nation.
7. [+151, -4] Did you guys know that SM had no problem sending Red Velvet to their Japanese concert on the 28th and 29th but all of a sudden they can't make time for a national event?
8. [+129, -4] They knew all along that she wouldn't be able to make it but they're acting like they didn't find out until only now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
9. [+119, -7] Let's just send another group ㅡㅡ
10. [+111, -5] Is there a reason we're insisting on Red Velvet right now?

1. [+620, -14] Swap the group, it doesn't have to be Red Velvet
2. [+549, -16] Let Joy go, we don't need to see her drama
3. [+533, -11] Change the group. This isn't some weekly music show, what are they thinking?
4. [+60, -0] Of course public sentiment is negative... this isn't some local concert. It's a North-South festival that took a long time to put together and they're throwing ashes on it. How can SM think it's appropriate to let everyone know just a day in advance?
5. [+57, -4] There are so many more popular groups, why deal with all this fuss with them?

Article: Joy won't be going to Pyongyang... "shouldn't have accepted at all" vs "unavoidable decision"

1. [+794, -16] SM shouldn't have accepted from the start
2. [+772, -7] SM must've surely known that the film schedule wouldn't allow room for her if the schedule was that tight so it's very disrespectful for them to alert everyone with only a day left
3. [+678, -7] Did SM not know that Joy was a drama lead? And also an MC on a variety show and had a Japanese concert schedule too? Obviously SM knew and still confirmed the invite because that's just how bad they are at their jobs ㅋㅋ this isn't a national event for them, they just think this is some local concert and are treating it as such without a care for the damage it's doing to their artist's image.
4. [+515, -8] SM is the biggest anti ㅋㅋ
5. [+252, -5] Why is SM not mentioning that Joy missed her drama filming for 3 days because of Red Velvet's Japanese concert ㅎㅎ They'll pull her out since they can make money off of the Japanese concert but while holding down the Pyongyang seat so no other group can take their opportunity ㅋ

1. [+518, -38] Is there a point to RV going if it's not as a full group? They should've passed on it so another group could go instead
2. [+500, -26] Love how SM sat on this the entire time so the opportunity couldn't be passed to another group.
3. [+470, -31] Just take the whole group out if you're going to leave out a member
4. [+441, -30] Is SM really sane? They're only letting us know with a day left? Just exclude all of SM from this concert!
5. [+266, -10] Now Red Velvet's getting all this hate... and SM obviously waited until now to tell everyone because they were scared they'd get swapped out if they let people know earlier. This is so wrong.
