1. HYBE’s media play makes me feel disgusted.. Why did they mention Son Ye Jin?

2. There are many cases where media agencies use article titles like that to increase clicks

3. Is this a strategy to become famous while being criticized?

4. Isn’t comparing her to Son Ye Jin too insulting to Son Ye Jin?

5. How can she be compared to Son Ye Jin? This is ridiculous

6. Do you guys want to leave malicious comments for a girl born in 2007? You guys are so pathetic

7. Are you kidding me?

8. Son Ye Jin is pretty and she’s pretty, but why is the title like that?

9. At this point, it’s noisy marketing

10. ?? Do you know who Son Ye Jin is?

11. I really hate HYBE’s media play

12. his group seems to be doing noisy marketing like this
