1. [+584, -28] Just say sayonara
2. [+412, -56] IZ*ONE's popular but this is going to blow it all away. Their agency needs to get to work.
3. [+379, -50] The group's already on a time limit, just tell Nako and Sakura to screw off
4. [+28, -7] JK-POP?? Please, just go back to your island
5. [+27, -4] I read some Japanese calling IZ*ONE the Korean unit of AKB and I really don't like that. AKB is chock full of low quality performances, how dare we get lumped in the same tier as a group like that?
6. [+17, -6] Are they joking with the fans? It's IZ*ONE or AKB, pick one and be clear about it. I don't want the Korean members to be affected by their decisions. Do we even need the Japanese members?
7. [+15, -1] Their agency is playing with words and setting themselves up so that it's easier to pull something like this off again, saying that the two are attending as "IZ*ONE members, not AKB members"... That means they'll be able to attend any AKB event as long as it's technically as IZ*ONE members... do they think we're dumb enough to fall for that?
8. [+13, -3] The group doesn't need the Japanese members anyway ㅋㅋ
9. [+9, -7] That's actually scary;; are these really fans? How can you not let them attend their own group's 8th anniversary concert?
10. [+7, -3] They must've thought that Korean fans would be just as dumb as the Japanese otakus who attend their hand shake events. Promises need to be kept, don't think you can weasel yourself out of them. At this rate, fans are going to demand that they straight up leave the group.
