1. [+422] Can they start by doing something about the Carat lightsticks

2. [+348] I prefer to stay with my SM Pink Blood DNA rather than Hybe’s warrior DNA.. 💓

3. [+247] What did I do so wrong to deserve this. Having this many idol groups all under one roof feels like a total dismantling of all their different worlds.

4. [+288] What is Hybe going on about? I’m staying in Kwangya.

5. [+155] I don’t get why they’re going through with this when it’s so clear that both SM fans and Hybe fans don’t want this… Through what I hear from Hybe fans, it seems like Hybe isn’t even taking care of the artists that they already have.. add SM groups to that list and it’s going to be so obvious that they’ll be in over their heads

6. [+141] Hybe, the acquisition hasn’t been confirmed yet so why are you calling us SM fans your “family”?

7. [+33] Hybe, please stop…

8. [+3] So they’re combining Weverse and Bubble??? Please just come out and say that you want to sweep up our money

9. [+43] Why is Hybe even getting hate right now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ why are people always coming for Hybe and their groups first no matter what happens ㅜㅜ Hybe’s the bigger person for even apologizing to their artists for this mess ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hybe, please don’t acquire SM

10. [+199] Five years ago, I could’ve never predicted that EXO, Seventeen, and BTS would become labelmates

11. [+246] Then what the f*ck… EXO, Seventeen, and BTS are really labelmates now?

12. [+68] Hybe’s a saint for even acting like they care about SM’s artists unlike SM who has no shame using Hybe and BTS’ name to drive up ticket prices ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This whole mess is because of Lee Soo Man but it’s not like Lee Sung Soo was ever qualified to lead a company either

13. [+9] Why all the hate towards Hybe… Hybe hasn’t even done anything yet. Direct your hate to Lee Soo Man, the creator of your Kwangya…

14. [+22] Hybe, do not media play as if you’ve acquired SM when you’re just the largest shareholder right now ㅋㅋㅋ the acquisition hasn’t been confirmed or finalized yet

15. [+36] Please stop putting down SM fans for our opinions. We do not trust Lee Soo Man going to Hybe for help after all the messes he’s caused in the company with the tree planting bullcrap. He’s obviously handing his shares over for Hybe to take his side on everything..

16. [+51] Hybe is barely able to handle the groups that they already have, how do they expect to handle SM’s? NCT has 22 members, how is Hybe going to deal with that? Please just leave SM as they are, is that so hard?

17. [+39] BTS really must’ve made them a ton of money..

18. [+43] Hahahahahahaha… none of this is funny anymore……

19. [+8] All that haughty attitude SM fans had about Kwangya and Pink Blood only to get gobbled up by warrior DNA Hybe

20. [+15] You can’t take care of the groups you have, stop adding more ㅠㅠ Hybe, pelase stop ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠ
