1. [+1,052, -39] Finally YG has been kicked from big 3 ㅋㅋㅋ 
2. [+1,010, -46] First off, I'm just glad YG is no longer in top 3...that's not an agency but a den of criminals
3. [+781, -28] Bye bye YG 
4. [+60, -9] The difference is SM JYP have been producing top idols for decades while Big Hit, although they're more profitable than SM JYP their earnings are solely from BTS and won't last forever. They also have to worry about military enlistment next year so if they don't figure out a new revenue stream they'll drop off in a few years..
5. [+37, -29] But isn't SM on the decline? EXO is already going downhill ㅋㅋ 
6. [+28, -5] YG comp~~~~~letely ruined themselvesㅋ
7. [+25, -4] Unless we boycott YG at the level we're doing with "No Japan" we will be a country that complicit in criminal affairs. We need to put laws in place than ban criminal celebrities from appearing on tv
8. [+24, -13] Well isn't JYP over without TWICE too?
9. [+24, -33] Still can't beat SM and JYP though ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They've been big 3 consistently for a long time now  
10. [+17, -6] I hope YG goes bankrupt.
