1. [+1,736, -85] So hard to earn popularity but it takes only a moment for it to all collapse down

2. [+1,532, -130] Whether or not she's an ilbe user doesn't matter. I do feel bad for her but she made a grave mistake using the word in that context. Especially with the times lately... I pity her. She ruined not only herself but her group too.

3. [+1,202, -70] I don't see the point in paying idols several thousands just to come and perform anyway. That all comes out of the tuition students pay and it's not fair.

4. [+1,099, -106] SECRET really screwed up this time. Seokang, Hanyang, Seoul, Yonsei, and Korea... three days ago before 5.18, the students held a demonstration at seoul station. Those colleges are famous for their hatred for Jun Doo Hwan.

5. [+935, -83] It was the students of those colleges that achieved democracy through their protests and demonstrations. It'd be ridiculous for them to even allow SECRET into their campus.

6. [+798, -159] Colleges, wake up. Invite artists with brains to come and perform, not kids who just shake their butts in underwear

1. [+891, -46] Hyosung's image was positive before this which is why the controversy has only reached the extent it has now. If it had been T-ara, they would've been disintegrated into thin air

2. [+618, -24] There's no second chance for celebrities.. Once you screw up, it's remembered forever.

3. [+570, -35] I bet she's really getting yelled at by her CEO~~~

4. [+578, -104] Hyosung isn't the only one at fault here but the entire youth generation. I see kids in games all the time throw around terms like 'rape' so freely. Whenever they lose, they say nonchalantly, "I was raped that game!"

5. [+223, -41] How dare Hyosung joke about something that people shed blood and sacrificed their lives to protect... She's the one that receives the benefits of their hard work. It doesn't even matter whether she's an Ilbe user or not, just the fact that she thinks of the word in that term is shocking.

6. [+220, -41] Korean colleges were the representative figures of democracy. I can see why they'd be turned off seeing Hyosung at a festival they're all meant to enjoy. They should just reflect for the time being.
