Enough with the drama sh1t I just want smngg jfck

Hasn't anyone at SM figured out that SM 3.0 is just a copy of the HYBE system? Of course HYBE would just sit back & let SM be. HYBE's goal is to prevent Kakao from becoming a big player in the music scene. It is the one area where kakao has no experience and HYBE is King.

kpop is now boring

Goodbye , good kpop music. Hello mid and payola

The way HYBE not being a company of SM artists still apologised for all the drama and interruption to their shareholders, artists for the issue that was all created by Chris Lee & LSM, already proves who's more professional. 💛

I hope now EXO leave SM😭😭

Hybe basically said “We are not responding to y’all YouTube videos” 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not matter what Exo-ls will supor EXO. We love them forever. ❤️

SM management are suck, but Lee Soo Man is beyond bajingan

HYBE is super professional bro like I know that's what they're supposed to do since they're a company but damn SM could take some notes, their CEO was straight up crying
