[+110] Whatever, I just want to see NCT...

[+99] YG really doesn't have many promoting artists so Black Pink must be making them a ton of money

[+73] JYP's operating margin is crazy
- Yeah, because they make a ton of money and never invest any of it in their groups. The point of turning a profit is so you can invest it back into something but they don't.. a high operating margin isn't always a good thing. If anything, we should be criticizing JYP. Other companies invest in their groups multiples of what they make, while JYP buries all the money they make and leave their groups out to dry...
- It just means they're operating for their company only and not for their groups. They don't have any care for promoting their groups, and these numbers may seem great for their investors but they're horrible for their fans. 

[+44] SM, take care of your artists. Where is the 3.0? Are we in the 3.0 right now? More like -3.0. 

[+37] Hybe never does anything but eat our f*cking money

[+37] Black Pink is basically keeping food on the table for YG

[+36] Hybe, stop eating all our money and do something...

[+34] Can SM please do something... they said we're entering version 3.0 so where's the 3.0...

[+29] Just you wait, JYP. Our kids are having their comeback and your profits will soar after that. 

[+27] YG's getting huge profits off of Black Pink alone... our kids are the jjang... ❤️

[+12] SM, if you need money, you can always give us an EXO comeback. You promised you'd give us notice and yet it's been two weeks since the lack of notice... as if I'm not already mad that the comeback's been postponed to the third quarter

[+10] JYP needs to get to work if they're going to eat up all our money. All they do is take our money and don't invest any of it back into our groups. F*ck this. 

[+4] ㅋ... Hybe... please do some actual work! and not just collecting money!
