[+378] I don't know about the Kanari stuff but they definitely copied Cholssakman ㅋㅋ

[+149] Shi Hyuk hyung.. it's obvious he's going through his middle school tryhard phase in his middle age...

[+111] Hybe really has no ideas of their own

[+67] I can give them a pass on Kanari but definitely not the Cholssakman ㅋㅋ

[+93] Seems like Hybe doesn't like to hire people who are capable of coming up with their own creative ideas but rather people whose skill is in researching famous people and using them to copy content

[+12] Kanari ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ like the fish sauce brand Kkanari? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ every single thing Bang Shi Hyuk does, what a laugh ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+15] They've been suffering ever since Jiwon broke up with their girlfriend

[+2] As if they aren't being meme'd about already with "stomping out" Aespa, now they're just copying their whole AI universe..
