1. [+214, -54] The reason Red Velvet will never beat Twice: because they only push Irene... They're going to end up like Suzy and the idols, Hyuna and the idols, Seolhyun and the idols... SM needs to reel in the public to buy Red Velvet albums but they keep pushing Irene... Look at Twice. The kids are all equally popular so they get equal opportunities with CFs and varieties, and their albums sell well...

2. [+189, -55] They lost me at Hong Jin Young ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+127, -12] Wendy does all the singing, Seulgi does all the dancing, Joy does all the acting and variety, the maknae does all the aegyo.... and yet it's Irene who reaps all the CFs in the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+14, -5] It's just the SM effect. She's short, has no hips, and was average looking before surgery.

5. [+14, -4] I feel like we're being brain washed into believing Jung Chaeyeon and Irene are beautiful

6. [+10, -1] She's #1 in branding but I don't think she's actually in any CFs

7. [+4, -1] SM, start pushing Seulgi more. This is good advice for you. You need to get Seulgi popular for Red Velvet to long run

8. [+5, -2] I wish Red Velvet would put out some normal songs. I get that they're supposed to be the follow up to f(x) but they need to dial it back with their concepts.
