1. [+366, -20] No, no, no, this is useless. Just take care of BTS.

2. [+348, -18] No... this is the time to be focusing on BTS. Don't get greedy ㅠㅠ

3. [+268, -21] I don't care what group Big Hit debuts with CJ, I will remain loyal to BTS! BTS will be the first and last idol group that I will be a fan of.

4. [+29, -4] BTS is just now getting started, please focus on them ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

5. [+26, -4] Why is Big Hit doing this... ㅠㅠㅠ

6. [+26, -2] Ugh... CJ would sooner die than give up on audition shows...

7. [+23, -2] Enough with these audition shows ㅡㅡ use that time and money on pushing BTS

8. [+21, -1] It's quite obvious that CJ is trying to use BTS and Big Hit's popularity to launch an audition show like 'Produce 101'...

9. [+19, -6] Hul ㅡㅡ... well I guess that guarantees this next group immediate fame. Just being known as the direct junior to BTS will be enough to launch them into fame, especially with CJ and Big Hit backing them.

10. [+17, -3] Does Big Hit think BTS succeeded because of them? Big Hit hasn't done anything right ㅋ BTS made it all on their own

11. [+17, -2] Agencies don't seem to realize that legends like Jo Yong Pil or Seo Taiji's success was never reliant on an agency "training" them

12. [+11, -0] Big Hit has fallen for the seduction of a large corporation ㅠㅠ
