1. [+1,057, -133] He has such an overflow of wealth and yet he's never once donated any of it for others. He's such a greedy person.

2. [+593, -12] Kakao needs to worry about getting their servers back up before thinking about acquiring SM ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+324, -15] Great, he can go to China and set up a karaoke for Xi Jin Ping now

4. [+257, -22] An old fart with no idea what true honor is. He should stop playing slave to his greed and learn what real self confidence is about.

5. [+241, -9] His company was just a ploy to move money from SM to a personal account. He's had enough siphoning off so it's time to step back. He probably won't be able to spend his entire wealth even till the day he dies.

6. [+36, -1] He loves Chinese investments so much, he should just move there and never come back. What does he expect the juniors in his industry to learn when he's acting like this as a senior? Yang Hyun Suk, too...

7. [+36, -4] He should do more good with all the money he's made instead of buying his girlfriend expensive apartments... such an annoying old fart

8. [+18, -0] What's Kakao going to acquire next? Farmland too?

9. [+17, -2] Kakao shouldn't be allowed to acquire SM! We should be opposing all conglomerates like them. They eat up small local businesses like the legs of an octopus!

10. [+16, -3] Hurry up and get rid of him

11. [+14, -1] Soo Man-hyung, do some volunteer work for once!! All you have is your greedy!!

12. [+8, -2] SM groups are on the decline... and Kakao is interested in acquiring them but they're a mess themselves

13. [+5, -0] How does his company not fall under embezzlement? SM probably paid his company a ton under the pretense of hiring them for work. I remember there was this one fried chicken restaurant that had their son set up a sauce company so that they could secure extra profit that way and they got fined a ton for it.

14. [+4, -0] If Kakao acquires SM, there will be more Chinese involvement in the Korean entertainment industry

15. [+3, -1] Lee Soo Man created K-Pop and put our country on the map. He basically kept all of us fed this whole time, no?
