1. [+424, -17] Being a celebrity is not a good job at the end of it all. I think debuts should be set back to at least adult age instead of minors for the sake of mental health. Agencies who are taking these young kids and training them and debuting them must do so with the understanding that their decisions will be responsible for an entire life. Please focus on mental health education.
2. [+385, -11] Yoobin-ssi is right. Growing up in an industry full of intense competition and attention means less places for you to look to depend on for support... Agencies, please focus on mental health.
3. [+277, -10] Yoobin-nim, please take care of yourself! If you feel depressed, get therapy. Don't worry about taking care of others, take care of yourself first.
4. [+39, -1] So there was a reason when SISTAR gave out advice saying nevermind anything else, watch out for the men who you date....
5. [+21, -2] I know that there's a certain level of risk that celebrities are taking for the amount of money they get to make in return... but who would jump into this industry if they knew they were trading their lives for it? We all need to draw a line, media and commenters alike. We need to stop these young flowers from wilting.
6. [+15, -7] Kang Ho Dong said so himself that this is all just something that needs to be handled by the star for the insane amount of money that they get to make. To all the people blaming the agencies... they've said so that once a star reaches a certain level of stardom, it becomes impossible to control them. But yes, I do agree that comments need to be made with real life names in order to cut back on the hate comments.
7. [+11, -0] Idols have a short lifespan. I think the idols who know what they want to do with their lives after their idol careers are over are able to be successful in what they pursue. However, the idols who don't have such goals end up suffering mentally. When agencies train their idols, I think they should start working on longterm goals after their idol careers with them.
8. [+9, -0] I agree, agencies need to start working on mental health with their young trainees...
9. [+4, -0] I feel bad for kids who debut at 15, 16 years old

1. [+1,544, -108] Choi Jong Bum, you deserve the worst punishment... and all the men who went around searching for her video, I hope you realize that she commit suicide because of you all
2. [+1,191, -34] First Sulli and now her, it seems true that people with depression who live alone in big houses like this fall deeper into loneliness and depression. Idols who live alone in big houses with signs of depression need more attention and love ㅜㅜ
3. [+1,100, -24] Why did Hara and Sulli live in such big houses alone ㅠ why didn't they stay with someone..
4. [+80, -0] I'd be scared to live in such a big house by myself ㅠㅠ the fear of someone breaking in....
5. [+74, -1] The reality of wealth and honor not being able to stand a chance against depression is unfortunate. How hard was it for her to make such a decision.. may she rest in peace.
6. [+70, -0] Sulli... Hara... after all that's happened, I now realize how big their homes were.. Their homes must've been filled with so much silence and loneliness..
7. [+65, -0] Did her life feel empty after achieving success at such an early age? Maybe she felt there was no further point in living with all of the hate she was getting.
8. [+35, -0] Nice house, lots of money... but that must not be all there is to life..
9. [+21, -4] Why did they leave her alone ㅠㅠ this is so unfortunate
10. [+10, -1] If only she had a friend, or took out her depression on a hobby... so unfortunate ㅠ
