1. [+862] When I first read that Jang Gyuri left, I wondered why she'd leave when her agency was upgraded and the group was finally getting their name out there after a period of being nameless... but now I understand

2. [+699] Jang Gyuri did well to leave at the timing that she did... and I will always support her ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ♥♥

3. [+476] Smart of Gyuri ㅋㅋ

4. [+416] It's always the flop-dols who are in the best position to be dating around because they're never popular enough to cause a stir. I'm fine with that and I think it was smart of Jang Gyuri to leave... not like she's a rigged member, she will do better transitioning into acting anyway.

5. [+368] The unfortunate part is that this was the day they received a message book full of months of letters from their fans...

6. [+392] What I find fascinating is that the members who went to the bar are always the ones getting into other controversies ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I always felt like this group was divided in terms of problematic members and the normal ones like Nakyung and Hayoung versus Jiwon and Gyuri ㅎ it's always the most popular ones who never cause trouble

7. [+238] That's pretty bad. Even normal girls who love going out with guys like this don't take up every invitation out. They have fans, why are they so nonchalant about being obvious like this? I'd rather they just get into an actual relationship and go on quiet dates instead.
- [+109] I agree, if they were just going on dates with boyfriends, even fans would turn a blind eye and let it slide..
- [+91] No one would care if they didn't make it obvious like this but they're so cheap ㅋㅋ

8. [+160] It's hilarious to me that every new video that comes up about them, it's with a different male idol ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+107] If they're not going to manage their private lives, they should just quit their idol jobs. First Jisun at Sunghoon's 'Music Bank' waiting room to this, full on out in Hongdae drinking with a male idol.. what's next? Night clubs???

10. [+27] It's hilarious reading all their male fans tweeting replies to the original OP because you can watch them shaking in anger in real time

Video: Debate over Fromis 9 and Pentagon spotted at Hongdae room bar

1. [+54] I wonder what the comments are thinking a room bar is...? The way people are talking, I think they're assuming they went to some seedy room salon but a lot of the room bars in Hongdae are literally just normal drinking spots;;;;;;; it's not seedy at all like you guys are trying to make it seem;;;;;

2. [+42] Come on, guys, you know that we're so much worse than this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ let's please not look down on others for doing what we do too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+10] Looks like our Fromis is getting up there in fame if gossip like this is getting controversial ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

4. [+22] But they're adults.. what's so wrong about going out drinking? I don't get it

5. [+33] It gives me more goosebumps that someone was secretly taking pictures of them from the back.. ew

6. [+17] The rumor about them being with a male idol at all was just an assumption.. and even if they did go drinking together, so what? Saerom is 27 years old in Korean age, what's the issue?

7. [+26] So they went to a room bar?? And that's considered problematic now??

8. [+18] Honestly, all I'm thinking is "so what?" If they're dating, maybe they are, and if they're not, then they're not ㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+50] What's so wrong with drinking at a room bar ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ people are seriously so desperate to hate on idols

10. [+29] Surely you fans do understand that your idols are all dating and drinking, right?

11. [+10] They're adults, nothing wrong with drinking...

12. [+12] What's so wrong about drinking at a bar?

13. [+4] Damn, our country is turning into a people full of monks

14. [+44] They're all at an age where I'm sure they want to go out and have fun..

15. [+22] If they were popular, they'd at least be more mindful of watchful eyes but they're flop-dols anyway so I guess they don't care ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
