1. [+540] 'Music Bank' needs to not only apologize the groups that spent 30 hours traveling there and had to get off stage without even getting to perform but also provide compensation for their time as well
2. [+404] For such a huge concert, 'Music Bank' did not even bother to check the weather conditions for the date. They forced groups to perform on stage in the middle of heavy rainfall, thunder, and even hail that not only made the stage slippery but was strong enough to bust a hole through the waiting room ceilings. 'Music Bank' is a mess for making the artists feel as if this was their fault and the Chilean fans are also a mess for the racism they displayed against Korean fansite admins, saying they stink like kimchi, and posting pictures of them without their consent just to mock them online, and even throwing trash at the artists themselves. It took over 60 hours round trip for this event all for it to end up in a canceled concert that people were slipping and falling over at and to get trash thrown at. This whole thing is so ridiculous and angering, and I hope no one goes back to Chile again.
3. [+362] Why are the idols being forced to apologize for the canceled stages? Not one word of apology from 'Music Bank' while the Chilean fans were discriminating against Korean fans and fansite admins.
4. [+190] 'Music Bank' caused this mess and yet it's the idols who have to post apologies
5. [+80] So the kids were performing in the rain the whole time?? Not even a cover set up over them??
6. [+40] The fact that they tried to go through with this event at all was crazy... especially when weather conditions worsened. They stuck with the plan to hold it outdoors, forcing all of the idols to perform in the rain. Meanwhile, Korean fans and idols were being harassed by the Chileans. This was an event that ended up with everyone getting hurt. Please just keep these events in Korea from now on... I'm sure this is upsetting for the Chilean fans who acted properly but I would rather not have everyone spend 30 hours on a plane just to get hurt like this over there.. this is so ridiculous
7. [+31] 'Music Bank' is not handling this right at all. Their short-sighted planning caused this whole mess and yet they're forcing the idols to apologize on their behalf. Whoever threw trash at Yeonjun better step up and apologize;; I heard Yeonjun cried and it breaks my heart
8. [+19] How did 'Music Bank' not check the weather at all ㅠ This is not something that the idols should be apologizing for. They're the ones who spent night and day on a plane just to perform there, I don't think I've ever seen such terrible conditions anywhere else ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
9. [+2] The pouring rain was not the only issue there..
10. [+1] I am not sending my idols to Chile ever again
11. [+38] Chileans are so racist, it's just a mess, seriously

1. [+207] As a Neverland, I'm just.r.. really angry. Seeing not only IDLE but other idols impacted by this makes me wonder what this was all for... throwing trash at them, letting them slip and fall.. the absolute worst. So disappointed in 'Music Bank'.
2. [+134] As a TXT fan, this just crossed the line ㅠㅠ from the trash to the racism... 'Music Bank' needs to show responsibility for this
3. [+185] Yeonjun-ah... ㅠㅠㅠㅠ you do not need to feel sorry at all!! ㅠㅠ You worked so, so hard to practice and prepare for this!!
4. [+160] It doesn't matter what fandom you're a part of, I'm just so angry about 'Music Bank' for being greedy enough to hold a concert without checking the weather, the danger level, the racism, etc... I don't think even the Chilean fans wanted to see their idols hurt like this...
5. [+38] This was just so wrong... Couldn't they see that? The idols were already dancing on top of a flooding stage but people were throwing trash at them... why would Chileans even be racist to Koreans when they are at a concert to see Korean idols?... I just hope no one's hurt ㅠ
