1. [+202, -71] And this is how you pass on all your know-hows, fools

2. [+90, -8] They're just a Japanese girl group. Not Hallyu, not anything.

3. [+67, -13] Isn't Park Jin Young a part of that weird cult with Yoo Byung Eon?

4. [+95, -45] Can always trust Park Jin Young~ I wish him success~~

5. [+47, -4] Quite the inspirational quote "achieving your dreams is a fight against yourself every day"

6. [+13, -1] It may be good in the short term since he's making yen but it puts the K-Pop category at risk in the future of being lumped in the same category as Japanese and Chinese pop with nothing left to differentiate it. That's our loss in the end.

7. [+16, -5] What about a Japanese girl group with all Japanese members doing well in Japan have anything to do with Hallyu? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm honestly against this. If this girl group gets successful in other countries like Black Pink, would they be counted as Hallyu? They're spreading Japanese culture... This is basically one of Korea's top 3 agencies using all their experience and know-hows to help raise a Japanese girl group.

8. [+22, -12] I don't know if I find this right. Was it necessary during such sensitive times?

9. [+11, -3] But they're all Japanese? How are they counted as Hallyu? Am I the only one who doesn't get it? ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+8, -1] Well this is grim for the K-Pop industry. Helping raise foreign girl groups may bring in money in the short term but it's basically going to kill K-Pop's future.
