1. [+718, -109] With anything you do, you have to make sure that you're keeping up with the times. Sure, you can throw a concert like this in times of drought, but what are you left with in the end? Why not spend that water on giving back to our burning land, on our forests and farm lands? I'm sure he could've easily changed the theme of his concerts and asked his fans for understanding, wouldn't that have been more of a beautiful gain for everyone in the end? He's an artist, he should be more creative when it comes to dealing with these things~ so let's see you put your creativity to use, Psy-ssi!

2. [+458, -27] He deserves the criticism... we are suffering from so many droughts lately...

3. [+275, -22] I visited the countryside last weekend and the hearts of our farmers are truly burning with these droughts... I really do think these events should be restricted to a minimum.

4. [+180, -26] Psy, use your brain. Our farmers are suffering from droughts, this is no time to be having 'water drenched' concerts. 

5. [+121, -16] Psy won't know what we're suffering from unless he's a farmer himself

6. [+72, -5] It's a matter of empathy. We all need to empathize with everyone and be more considerate of one another. You can't just throw away water in front of a parched person just because you paid for it, right? 

7. [+31, -0] He should hold these concerts on countryside farm lands

8. [+29, -2] I live in the city myself so I always felt removed from talks of drought but I talked with my mother over the phone a few days ago and she mentioned how the drought has been the worst it has ever been ㅠ I like Psy as a singer but this is wrong~

9. [+26, -1] Why not just hold the concert on a rainy day?

10. [+22, -2] We are already a country with low water reserves... and severe droughts that are impacting our farms. You can't just be using water for fun like this. He deserves the criticism. He should just donate that water instead.
