- [+2,158, -221] I mean Blackpink's song is gold and they can sing live while Twice can't. Aren't they just hitting them with the facts?
- [+1,575, -150] We can do a live match to prove it. Momo should go first.
- [+1,439, -178] She's right though. Where's the controversy?
- [+124, -15] Honestly, TWICE should just practice their singing. I was laughing when I heard their live. Are they a singing group or dance team?
- [+109, -49] I used to think Fin K.L were the worst singers until I saw Twice's live on YouTube and went crazy. I was so shocked. This is the evils of capitalism. We should be ashamed as a country.
- [+105, -16] If you can't sing live you shouldn't be called a singer
- [+99, -15] She's spitting straight facts though. Just look at Blackpink's records and recognition worldwide.
- [+86, -22] Twice can't even beat IZ*ONE's encore stage with their poor vocals.
