1. [+183] I wonder what it means for him to "re-entry" back to Mnet? Probably that the whole manipulation was set up by everyone in the company and he was just the scapegoat to serve jail time for all of them with the promise that they'd take him back as PD once it all blew over...

2. [+90] That makes no sense... He served in jail for his charge, and they took him back? There was totally some type of deal before he went in between all of them... What a corrupted world. 

3. [+58] Doesn't that sound like the whole company acted as an accomplice to him?

4. [+48] Why is CJ E&M like this lately??

5. [+43] They took him back? That definitely sounds like he took the fall for them.

6. [+31] It's quite obvious he was promised his position back as long as he took the fall for them ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+24] Wow, they really took him back

9. [+21] Considering how rock bottom their viewer ratings are for their audition shows, I'm sure they're desperate to have him back anyway. 'Produce 101' through 'Produce 48' were all crazy popular. 

10. [+19] A deal probably went down like "When you get out of jail, we'll take you back, Jun Young-ah. Just take the fall for this one." Mission complete.

11. [+19] If Ahn Jun Young gets to come back, then so do X1. Those kids didn't deserve what happened to them. They put their futures on the line for the show and no one took any responsibility for it ㅠ

12. [+17] I feel so bad for X1 out of all the 'Produce' series groups. What did these kids do to deserve this? Is having a dream a crime now? ㅠㅠ

13. [+15] Mnet's crazy for taking him back

14. [+14] Dammit, the only victim in all of this is X1 

15. [+12] What an unfair world that he gets to make away with all the money from rigging 'Produce' and still get his job back

16. [+10] If this is how they're going to play this game, they better pay back every cent for using IZ*ONE and X1 as their hate shields. Bring back X1 and compensate the fans for forcefully disbanding IZ*ONE just to erase the 'Produce' image. 

17. [+10] Please bring back X1. They had such a short promo period where they didn't get to show their potential ㅠㅠ They have so little stages because of the lack of opportunities.

18. [+6] Does that mean that all future audition shows under this PD will be suspected of manipulation? 

19. [+4] Definitely sounds like he took the fall for the higher-ups so they took him back
