"Personality-wise of SM artists, Red Velvet will likely renew."

"Will BLACKPINK be possible? They seem to be focused on a lot of individual activities these days."

"When seeing the way they promote [DAY6], I get so angry. I just want all the members to leave TT Higher up individuals, please look out for DAY6."

"TWICE I can't let go of you TT Please renew your contract!"

"TWICE TT I can't lose all 9 members."

"But JYP artists really are bad at renewing...It's just the company's problem TT."

"Please Dream Catcher TT I want to make them reach number one."

"Oh My Girl, I love you."

"I'm anxious about DAY6."

"Lovelyz too TT."

"Please Cosmic Girls TTTT They have a lot of catchy songs, and it's only a matter of time before they make it big TTT Please renew."
