1. [+1,238, -85] It's going to be a mess once BTS is granted an exemption~

2. [+1,075, -41] Big Hit is not a part of any of these discussions... BTS or Big Hit have never talked about the army and yet it's everyone else who's making a big deal out of it

3. [+982, -46] Nobody from Big Hit has mentioned anything about it and yet it's the politicians who are trying to use BTS to make headlines

4. [+68, -3] The media keeps mentioning BTS like it's their issue but I wish they'd stop. BTS and their fans have never requested that they be given an exemption and yet for days now, they are being used in article titles and causing misunderstandings. This is an issue about the fairness of army exemptions across all industries, not just BTS alone.

5. [+58, -3] BTS's agency is not even a part of this meeting. SM, YG, JYP, FNC, and JellyFish were in the meeting so why is the media always using BTS in the headlines?

6. [+52, -3] Politicians, please stop using BTS. Both BTS and their fans do not want this.

7. [+49, -2] I have no ill feelings towards BTS, I'm actually proud of them, but their fans have said over and over that they never brought this army issue up. So why is the Blue House in a meeting over something a minority of fans asked for? Do they not realize the storm that will brew if they actually grant BTS an exemption? It's not a good thing for BTS in the end.

8. [+47, -1] Big Hit and BTS have both stayed quiet on this so why is everyone dragging their name all the time? I bet you once BTS is granted one, all the other agencies are going to start demanding that their artists be granted one too.

9. [+41, -1] So SM, YG, and JYP are in this meeting but BTS is being used for the headlines??? Keep your meetings to yourselves and leave BTS out of this. Why not use EXO, SHINee, Got7, iKON, or Winner in the article title instead?

10. [+40, -1] The meeting included SM, YG, JYP, FNC, and JellyFish so.......????????????
