1. [+3,297, -142] What do you mean a misunderstanding? First you called it a useless worry, and now it's a misunderstanding... Please come back with genuine feedback

2. [+2,454, -129] Ugh, YG isn't reading anything we're writing properly ㅡㅡ

3. [+2,329, -123] What iKON fans are asking about is not when their comeback is. Please read it again and give us proper feedback.

4. [+2,050, -128] To all you commenters saying fans are making a big deal out of nothing, please go look at their music videos and teasers for yourselves and see how little YG invested in them. We begged and begged for variety show promos that every other idols do all the time and all we got was 'Weekly Idol'

5. [+1,742, -86] If YG puts out feedback like this, it just makes it seem like all fans care about is when the next comeback is.

6. [+641, -48] 20 foreign fan meets. 0 Korean fan meets. 481 days of hiatus out of 700 days since their debut (and the majority being spent on their foreign tour). 4 limited edition Japanese songs. Self-composed songs only released during their survival show were released only in Japan. We are not making these posts because we want another comeback. We're asking to be given fair treatment.

7. [+548, -32] Looks like no one in YG has a brain. We literally spelled out what we want from them but all we got back in return was two letters "mis-understanding".. ㅋㅋ

8. [+508, -20] An idol's growth is dependent on proper communication with their fans. YG does not know what fans want, or maybe it's that they do know and choose to ignore it. Just because they're not making enough money in Korea, they ignore all their Korean fans and don't care that the fandom is getting smaller and smaller. All they care about is running them overseas and making as much money as possible.

9. [+491, -27] Can YG please explain why they have more Japanese releases than Korean releases then

10. [+445, -26] Fans sent in an 18 page letter documenting two years of problems and all YG has to say is that it's a "misunderstanding"????????????? I think YG knows exactly well who has the misunderstanding right now. At least be honest and say you have on intention of listening to fan opinions at all. They're just making a fool of us fans and enough's enough. We are not whining for a comeback. What we're asking for is to not schedule weekly tours while just releasing one song in Korea without any promos and calling it a comeback.
