"Seunghan really is nothing compared to the rest of that lineup."

"It's hilarious that Irene is the only girl there. She really caused a big issue."

"Considering the impact, yeah, Irene fits too. Hasn't she had no solo activities since then? LOL If her controversial audio recording had been released to the public, she wouldn't have even come this far."

"Shouldn’t SES’s Shoo be there too? And Shinhwa as well. Hahaha."

"Almost all of them have issues with women... They should be more careful."

"Who's the person below Kangin?"

"The fact that there are more people to add here is seriously funny. LOL"

"Why isn’t Chen there?"

(As a reply to the above comment) "He doesn't really belong in that lineup."

(As a reply to the above comment) "Well, [Chen's case] is not a crime after all."

(As a reply to the above comment) "?? There are other idols on this list that have also not committed illegal crimes"

"It's just idols who are legally or morally problematic, but I don't think Seunghan belongs in that group."(As a reply to the above comment) "Yes, it's neither a crime nor front-page news."

"But Seunghan isn't bad enough to be part of that group. LOL"

"No... is Irene really at the level to be grouped with criminals?"
(As a reply to the above comment) "Then what about Seunghan? LOL Hierarchical power abuse is the worst. LOL"

"Yeah, Irene's power abuse is deserving of front-page news."
