1. [+1,825, -23] Congratulations on escaping YG
2. [+1,602, -19] Really good of her to not renew with YG
3. [+1,411, -20] She has finally left YG's treasure box. I really hope she joins a great agency and does well for herself. I personally find her voice very charming.
4. [+40, -3] Celebrities who end contracts with JYP: they always thank Park Jin Young and the agency
Celebrities who end contracts with SM: they always thank Lee Soo Man but express hatred towards the agency
Celebrities who end contracts wqith YG: they never mention Yang Hyun Suk or the agency and live on as if they don't know each other
5. [+39, -2] All we have left now is AkMu, let's hurry up and escape ㅜ
6. [+37, -12] It's true that YG tied Lee Hi down but they're also the ones who got her to becoming a #1 ranking artist... If Lee Hi never went to YG, I bet she would've disappeared like Park Jimin without ever getting to win #1.
7. [+26, -4] Park Jimin and Baek Ahyeon didn't renew with JYP, and it looks like Lee Hi isn't with YG either. I hope they all join great agencies and promote with more frequent albums.
8. [+24, -8] Wow ㅜㅜㅜ Lee Hi, congratulations ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm so happy for her, really...
9. [+23, -1] I still don't get what YG was thinking by not putting out an album for her for 2-3 years, especially when their other singers were promoting nonstop
10. [+17, -1] Quite a happy piece of news

1. [+1,461, -14] Congratulations on escaping YG
2. [+481, -12] JYP struggles with their female solos so she should go to an agency like Mystic or Antenna with a lot of solo singers already
3. [+229, -34] I think she'd match JYP or Mystic well
4. [+154, -6] She must've gone through a lot of emotional suffering. Hoping she contracts with a great agency and comes back with good music.
5. [+90, -8] Y G E S C A P E
6. [+63, -2] All we need is AkMu to escape now
7. [+24, -6] I remember she chose YG over JYP at the time of her audition because she didn't want so many restrictions on her private life... but I think she's finding out now that you kind of need a parent like JYP to watch over you and make sure you're growing right... She was too young back then to choose.. and YG was too greedy..
8. [+16, -1] Beautiful farewell (X) beautiful escape (O)
