- [+672, -7] I think contract renewals are going to be difficult now that a Chinese agency is getting involved. This is why we need to keep idol groups Korean-only like BTS.
- [+491, -7] This is why we shouldn't be debuting foreigners in Korean groups. They raise their status using our idol system and after gaining some fame, they always fall for Chinese tricks and backstab us. We need to start picking Koreans only for our groups or suffer knifes in the back constantly.
- [+223, -6] For risk management purposes, we need to stop debuting foreigner idols entirely!
- [+220, -32] This is why we need to be careful when debuting foreign trainees
- [+189, -19] She used us to make money for years, it's time for her to go back to her country. I only want to see Korean-only idol groups from now on!
- [+122, -5] She's going to flop hard if she chooses China ã…‹ã…‹
- [+100, -13] We need to kick and filter out any Chinese or SEA kids!!
- [+90, -5] If Lisa leaves Blackpink, she'll just be your local Thai kid ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
- [+58, -1] She's dating a top chaebol son, why would she renew her contract with YG?
- [+50, -3] Jennie Rosé are essential members. Even without Lisa, Blackpink can go on just fine. Let's just go forward with a 3-member group.
- [+33, -1] Enough! No more foreigner kids! Let's only do Korean-only idols from now on!!
- [+15, -2] She's quite ungrateful! All this after using up Korea...
- [+13, -0] Whether SEA or China.. no more foreigner kids from now on!!
