1. [+2,626, -289] CJ must be insane to think they're going to continue promoting groups that were made with lies and scams

2. [+2,443, -281] What's the point? How thick is your skin?

3. [+2,077, -184] It'd be better if they just compensated the members individually and disbanded everything.. How're they going to compensate for the time that they weren't able to promote in what could be considered their golden years?

4. [+182, -25] Are they insane?? Return a rigged group to promos?? Then at least tell the public what the actual rankings were supposed to be. How are you going to compensate the kids who were e.iminated when they should've made it?? By saying you're going to continue promoting these groups is basically saying you're going to scam the public.

5. [+179, -17] I know it's not the trainees to blame but if they continue promoting and working, their income will continue to be funneled into a company that has been found to take bribes and offer s*xual services ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ do they think the viewers are dumb enough to fall for that? ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+147, -9] Shouldn't they first be announcing how they're going to compensate the viewers who paid to text in their votes only to be scammed?

7. [+130, -27] Sure, let's say you continue to promote these groups that are already known to everyone in the world to be rigged. CJ refuses to reveal the actual line-up and is insisting on promoting their groups without any member changes. There are over 3 members in X1 that were unfairly put in, and the entire IZ*ONE team was rigged... how are you sane enough to think this is okay? ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+119, -15] Reveal the actual rankings and kick out the rigged members

9. [+102, -16] You're going to make them promote again? ㅋㅋㅋ Are your brains made out of udon noodles? Wow, these ba$tards are surprising.

10. [+82, -15] You should be compensating the members who got rigged in and then kicking out~ why should the members I support be forced to work under a group known as a rigged group~~~

11. [+77, -20] F*ck off, both groups will be boycotted

12. [+55, -11] I had no idea that this entire controversy was as simple as saying sorry and then continuing to promote them.......
