1. [+800, -6] Even if he’s kicked, the reason is really,,,, he won’t go far. SM even held onto octopus legs Park Chanyeol and three-legged Lucas but if they’re kicking him right away it must something big.. goodbye, don’t come back!
2. [+348, -3] SM has always embraced male idols whenever they got into scandals but what on earth did he do that they made him leave the group right away?
3. [+261, -12] Why do male idols act like this???!!
4. [+144, -6] Given that it broke at this moment, I’m keen to think that he was named a suspect in the in the deepfake molka sex crimes that just leaked.

9. [+21, -0] No.. tell the story properly! Don’t just tell us you kicked him out. Some people are even setting up photo lines right now.
10. [+16, -6] If it’s a criminal case, it’s about sexual assaults, drug molka and things like that. How can they package people like that and do business with them?? This is the level of Korean men..
