Netizens shared angry reactions in online communities writing,

1. [+817, -29] There's nowhere else to go. It's more interesting that they're still planning to stay active.
2. [+667, -24] What a symbiotic relationship...trash!!!
3. [+584, -27] If these thugs return to TV, the prosecution needs to investigate corruption within broadcast PDs. They've always given Big Bang and YG a pass helping them clean their image. SBS and Infinite Challenge are especially good at helping these ba$tards clean their image..
4. [+35, -1] Didn't TOP say he was quitting the entertainment industry? What'd he renew for?;ㅎ
5. [+31, -2] Taeyang is no different from themㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+25, -1] I thought TOP said he doesn't want to be a celebrity anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+24, -5] Trust?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  Why not show that to the public
8. [+21, -2] I don't think there's anywhere else for them to go..
9. [+20, -2] A unique group of ex-convicts..
10. [+14, -1] Where else would they go? What agency would take them? ㅋㅋㅋsince they have nowhere else of course they'll flock together.
