[+272, -12] Funny how it's Dahn World and not HYBE putting out this official statement?

[+165, -9] Really feels like HYBE has all the evidence they need to sue Dahn World but they aren't~ there are so many videos of Dahn World using BTS to promote their cult, is that not grounds for HYBE to sue them right away?

[+18, -1] Bang Si Hyuk needs to start doing something about this. They've bought enough time by using the kids as shields...

[+15, -0] So disgusted with HYBE. They're sitting on money thanks to BTS and now they're using the kids as their own shields when they're in hot water. I truly hope BTS doesn't renew with them again.

[+12, -0] Uh, why are you guys the ones releasing an official statement when it should be HYBE ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and if anyone's suing anyone, it should be HYBE suing you.

[+11, -1] That's hilarious because we're pretty sure it was you guys using BTS's picture in the first place.

[+9, -0] HYBE always refuses to answer on anything that they know they're on the losing end of.

[+4, -0] HYBE's so pathetic, they need to let BTS go. Instead, they're using kids serving in the army to serve as their own shields while they're fighting over money in the back.
