Netizens still in debate over SM's decision to pull Joy from Pyongyang
Article: The debate surrounding Joy's non-attendance in Pyongyang 'continues'... some criticize it as "witch hunting"

1. [+368, -42] Kang San and even Jo Yong Pil postponed their other schedules to make it to Pyongyang. This isn't Joy's issue but SM as a company.
2. [+306, -37] What would a young kid like Joy know? She's only doing what she's being told to do. It's SM and Yoon Sang's issue. One thing's for sure, I don't logically understand why they made such a decision.
3. [+260, -33] Witch hunting? What is this media play? More people have been criticizing the way SM handled this than hating on Joy for it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+21, -17] SM did mess this up but it's also true that Joy's getting more hate than she deserves
5. [+14, -7] It's not her personal fault but I don't view her positively for this
6. [+9, -3] The only ones hating Joy are young kids who've never worked a day in their lives. Any adult would know better.
7. [+8, -5] Well it's ridiculous because even a company like Samsung wouldn't pull something like this but a pathetic entertainment agency is acting like they're above it all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+8, -1] But why does she have to go? I don't get what all this fuss is about. It's just another schedule for them, so what if she doesn't go? ㅋㅋ Scared of pissing off Kim Jong Un?
9. [+8, -3] I don't get why people are so mad over this ㅋㅋ "the country's calling" well maybe she can't go if her schedule doesn't allow for it
10. [+7, -1] Some people are making it sound like we're obligated to serve North Korea our talents ㅋㅋㅋ

Article: Red Velvet Joy, didn't attend Pyongyang vs attended Japanese concert... netizen opinion divided
Source: Sports Seoul via Nate
1. [+116, -12] Well SM should've alerted everyone ahead of time if her schedule wouldn't allow for it. This isn't some nugu festival, why would you wait until the last minute? Sure her schedule "could've been changed" but the fact of the matter is that they couldn't change it.
2. [+44, -1] SM: Tell North Korea that this concert is just another local event~~~
3. [+38, -3] Yeah but why did they agree to go? Should've just sent WG or SNSD... no one forced them to go so why are we being forced to be understanding of their circumstances?
4. [+13, -5] They went to Japan because there's money to be made there, skipped out on this because there is none
5. [+9, -5] Should've just sent Twice or Black Pink, tsk...

Article: Because of Red Velvet's Joy? National petition started for SM tax investigation
Source: Star Today via Nate
1. [+519, -155] Enough's enough... you can't abuse tax investigations like it's a guillotine
2. [+399, -131] You idiots, go ask the government to go after an actual drug circle like YG. You're actually petitioning for a tax investigation because SM didn't send one kid to go perform for the reddies? Are you all insane? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+353, -146] So what if she couldn't go, what's all this fuss ㅡㅡ
4. [+41, -32] Another petition? Do you idiots never learn?
5. [+36, -29] Please, enough's enough...
