[+121, -38] EXO’s songs are really public-friendly, even though I’m not a fan, I like to listen to ‘Call Me Baby’ and ‘Love Me Right’ ㅋㅋㅋ

[+87, -3] I am a YG fan, and many say that YG and SM are the best entertainment companies in Korea, but as a YG fan, even you’ll realize that YG doesn’t have enough to even reach the dirt in SM’s toe ㅋㅋㅋ;; Comparing YG’s abilities as a company, they are really overrated in so many things ㅋㅋ

[+69, -7] YG should learn from this, why can’t they multi-task like SM who can promote three teams at once
