1. [+324, -23] That's great, don't go to Japan

2. [+230, -14] Yes, take this as an opportunity to drop Japan for good

3. [+108, -18] Please give Wanna One more promos in Korea ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

4. [+35, -32] They're just not popular in Japan

5. [+17, -29] I asked my Japanese friend and they said only EXO and BTS aer popular there, barely anyone cares about Wanna One ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+16, -3] What a weird way to media play ㅋ so they're still releasing an album there and performing there and everything, just not including it in their tour? The article makes it sound like they're not going to Japan as an act of patriotism

7. [+14, -22] Not a fan or an anti but that's a good excuse ㅋㅋㅋ because I heard they're sorely unpopular there; they're probably not going because of the lack of interest

8. [+14, -9] Wanna One fighting!! Let's soar!!!

9. [+13, -19] They're totally being crushed by 'High School Rapper' on the charts ㅋㅋㅋ by even Big Bang, Mamamoo, Heize, iKON, Momoland ㅋㅋ just totally dropping down the charts

10. [+13, -4] Yes, it's best that they avoid having a concert there around memorial day

11. [+12, -4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I bet they want to go but are scared of the sh*t storm if they do

12. [+11, -5] This is quite a funny excuse... like the only day that's possible for them to perform there happens to be Korea's memorial day ㅋㅋ Let's be real, Japan has the second biggest music market in the world... bringing home that Yen would be a better act of patriotism

13. [+10, -6] They're lying ㅋㅋㅋ the Japanese market is huge and has the potential for so much income ㅋ even the popular groups like EXO, BTS, SHINee, and TVXQ are at the whims of the Japanese market... opting to drop Japan from the tour line-up will only harm them in the end.
