1. [+747, -19] Just disband, I can't stand this group anymore

2. [+645, -61] Very easy for a group of people to make one person out to be the weird one. Even if what the majority is saying is true, it remains true that they tormented someone to the point of having panic disorders, no?

3. [+435, -15] They were pretty blatant about bullying her on camera, this is really shameless of them unless those videos were staged?

4. [+120, -2] What a weak excuse. They basically admitted to all of the new members hating Hyunjoo. Even their agency admitted to the chunggukjang and tumbler incidents.

5. [+111, -2] They drove a person almost to the brink of suicide and not an ounce of reflection from any of them. There are tons of videos of their abuse on YouTube. Whatever Hyunjoo did couldn't have warranted the actions in those videos and this group is worthy of the hate they're getting. The April members still don't understand the situation at hand.

6. [+82, -6] If what you guys are claiming is right, that all she wanted to do was act so she'd drop out of schedules, then why has she attended all unit activities and still wants to be an idol? You guys are all talk about Hyunjoo has proven herself with actions. It's so easy for a group of people to make one person out to be the fool.

7. [+76, -1] This just makes me feel worse for her. So many instances on camera of them bullying her, can you imagine what they were like off camera...? Imagine how bad it must've been for her for a freshly debuted rookie to be sick to the point of needing to go to the ER? To hate going to rehearsals? They're claiming the videos were maliciously edited... but there's no smoke without fire. How can they be edited in such a way unless the videos themselves were staged? All of the members' facial expressions, words are captured in one cut... and it's not like there's only one or two videos, there are a lot...

8. [+60, -3] I don't know why this keeps getting compared to Hwayoung's scandal. Hwayoung never said with her mouth that she was being bullied. The members got into a fight and they all took to SNS to air their grievances which caused fans to speculate amongst themselves about whether she was being bullied or not (while the SNS posts were wrong, Hwayoung was also in the wrong to have stayed quiet and lead fans to think she was indeed being bullied). Hyunjoo herself has claimed that she was bullied to the point of thinking of death. The members should be clarifying and apologizing so it's disappointing that they're instead making up excuses and acting as if she deserved it. Even if Hyunjoo was not hard working or was selfish, none of that warrants being bullied by an entire group like that.

9. [+52, -2] But the video evidence is hilarious ㅋㅋㅋ honestly, you guys are over as a group so I don't know what you're expecting by putting out excuses like this. You know once you hit rock bottom that you can't get back up!

10. [+52, -3] What is this flop group still doing?
