[+2,585] The problem from here is that if Fifty Fifty wins their lawsuit, there will be no hope left for any smaller agency anymore. What if a small group goes viral on TikTok? It'll just take another bigger, richer company to sweep in and take it all for themselves...
[+1,705] A group like this deserves nothing more than to be disbanded. No one should be buying even one album from them. The members should be banned from ever promoting again in this industry. Rescind every single trophy they won on music shows.
[+2,339] The CEO even invested in 2-3 years of English lessons for the members... I feel so bad for him
[+975] They're the ones who came to him wanting help to achieve their dream of becoming an idol, and now that they've got a taste of that fame, they're acting like they got here all on their own
[+808] Bang Shi Hyuk also got burned hard by Glam, which is why he never wanted to make a girl group of his own again
[+769] The best thing they can do at this point is cancel their lawsuit, apologize to their CEO, and reframe their story as the parable of the prodigal son
[+327] For those of you who don't understand how the idol industry works, imagine a company spending a ton of money and resources in R&D to develop a product that became a hit, only for another company to come in and steal it
[+214] I feel bad for the CEO either way;; even if he wins in court and gets his group back, the public is already over them, and he will no longer be able to recoup his investments.. Sigh, he's in a bad place either way.. ㅠㅠ
[+324] I rarely ever side with the corporation but I am siding with the CEO here!! Fighting!! Find strength!!
[+83] Even words of hate are wasted on them

[+418] Traitor-ty Traitor-ty ㅋㅋ
[+274] I can't believe not one member is sane enough to realize that their fame is based off of one good song picked by their agency ㅋㅋ and not because any of them are anything special
[+387] Aigoo... they really must be thinking they're on New Jeans' level
[+473] Got on the Billboard once and immediately betrayed their own CEO
[+283] I never knew a group liket his even existed until all this news broke out
[+357] We'll be seeing them on "where are they now?" in a few years soon enough ㅋㅋㅋ
[+73] I wonder if the members even know... that the whole reason they're famous is because their CEO invested a ton in viral marketing on TikTok?
[+53] We know their song but not their faces. Just re-debut them with new members.
[+28] I remember EXID took two years to start getting paid... which is actually on the faster side for the industry.

[+128] All the other famous girl groups didn't start getting paid until 1-2 years later... I can't believe they couldn't even wait that long and kicked their careers out the door like this
[+101] I just feel so bad for the company in all of this
[+100] You know what, just let the members go work with their producer instead of the CEO who housed them. I want the CEO to get a fresh start with a new male group and live a better life after all of this.
[+92] They kicked their own luck out the door
[+91] They ruined their own lives, legendary ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+48] They're so naive...
[+17] Just logically speaking, why are they even expecting pay when they haven't even reached the one year mark into debut? Despite all the investments their CEO made into them, he still got them a 3-bedroom Gangnam dorm to keep their spirits high. Even big agencies don't do that for you. And this is on top of the hundreds of thousands being spent on lessons for them every month. All of the big name idols from big companies didn't start getting paid until after the 2-3 year mark.
