1. [+319, -5] They're lengthening the contracts because they realize how much money the franchise is making

2. [+179, -3] They're going to abuse their power so much

3. [+76, -6] So if the Kami members get into the final group, what about their single promos? Elections are coming up too and most of them are confirmed to be elected for 2018 as well.. that's a killer schedule for them

4. [+57, -8] Lengthening the contracts is just a waste for the members' images and it'll definitely make it harder for them to survive on their own once the contracts expire. Look at IOI now, only Chungha is doing well and the rest are back to rookie status, some haven't even debuted...

5. [+48, -2] Huk that's way longer

6. [+43, -4] I think enough's enough... how are they going to manage 48 when they struggled with 11? I don't even remember how 'Idol School' ended, let alone what happened in the middle

7. [+36, -1] Doesn't matter how long the contracts are when the outcomes are all the same, they're all disbanding ㅡㅡ enough with these project groups

8. [+37, -3] It's unfair to take their peak years for 3 whole years and then toss them out once they're done

9. [+30, -0] I bet it'll be split between Korea and Japan for 1 year and 3 months each. However, the Japanese contestants have groups to return to while the Korean trainees will be left to fend for themselves

10. [+27, -0] CJ is blinded by the greed after all the money they made with the first two seasons ㅋㅋ they keep extending the contracts

11. [+21, -0] ㅡ.ㅡ Wow, with what balls? How are they so sure the group will do that well? ㅡㅡ;; It's too long

12. [+17, -0] I doubt they'll be promoting all that much
