[+169, -5] The nightmare of the Wonder Girls..
- [+13, -0] Times have changed compared to then~ and K-Pop is a lot bigger now too

[+152, -15] As if this would work?
- [+12, -1] Well, why not try and find out? ㅎㅎ Maybe it'll eventually work...
- [+4, -0] Can't JYP do something about NMXIX and ITZY first ㅠ

[+122, -4] How can an idol group made up of foreigners be considered K-Pop? How can you even consider girl groups like Everglow who are under Chinese agencies to be K-Pop either?

[+68, -7] A group made up entirely of foreign members is not K-Pop. Park Jin Young made that all Japanese girl group and they were not that successful either.

[+23, -1] He still hasn't gotten his American disease treated

[+16, -0] First of all, American kids aren't as submissive as Korean kids, and they're not going to put up with orders from their company as easily. They also lack the persevering trait that Koreans have. I don't think that they'll be able to handle the intense training and management that Korean agencies expect of you. American kids are highly independent and opinionated. They'll last maybe one year and end up leaving the group.

[+7, -0] I wouldn't care if he was taking on this suffering all by himself but why does he have to do this again after already ruining the Wonder Girls? I'm sure kids these days would be shocked to hear that before the Wonder Girls left for the US, they were so big here in Korea that SNSD was considered second-rate.

[+7, -0] He's always up for a challenge, I'll give him that

[+5, -0] How is a group made up of Americans considered K-Pop?

[+5, -0] Why another useless venture?

[+4, -0] He still hasn't given up on his American dream... aigoo...

[+4, -0] He's always doing this... calling things K-pop or Hallyu that have nothing to do with it, like groups made up of foreign members...

[+4, -0] I don't feel good about this... The stuff that's normalized here is probably considered a violation of human rights in the US...

[+4, -1] I really wish he'd cut this crap out... for real...

[+3, -0] You should all be applauding his thirst for challenge, and yet you're all so negative... He may have faced difficulties and failures with the Wonder Girls, but it takes a lot to pick yourself back upa nd try again.
