1. [+290, -146] People easily bash EXO but it wasn't easy for them to be where they are now. They've been called "flopping idols" since Mama. Imagine how hard it was for EXO members... People always say "their popularity is all about their fans" "they're such a bubble" and "they're big just because they'r from SM". Are you saying that they didn't work hard at all? People just don't know it well, SM artists all work really hard and yet people just hate them, it's frustrating... Always we are one, we'll forever be with you guys, I'll cheer for you until the end ㅠㅠㅠ

2. [+197, -45] Tbh the only reason why CNBLUE won 1st so fast is because FT Island fans supported them. CNBLUE songs were all repetitive afterwards... I wonder how they keep winning 1st, I mean their songs are good but they're all too similar.

3. [+172, -70] Infinite, you guys worked so hard... <3

4. [+91, -33] Infinite climbed to the top purely with their talent... I still remember an article that said Infinite was the only idol group that passed the break-even point... I'm not sure if it was legit though ㅋㅋㅋ At that time, the head of Woolim had to use his security deposit of his house to film Infinite's MV. Infinite earned more than ten times of the deposit ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+84, -15] Bigbang and Infinite had it hard... I think they both filmed reality shows and documentaries. I think Infinite had it especially hard. I'm not saying it was less hard for Bigbang, though!

6. [+77, -12] Everybody's first win is precious. When they had their first win, they cried really hard and it was so heartbreaking.

7. [+73, -13] Be Mine Over The Top album was Infinite's everything. They were the first idol group of a small company and now they're representing the company. I'm so proud, let's keep this success <3

8. [+72, -15] Honestly it's amazing how they got this big from a small company... Infinite will even be bigger!! Let's go together until the end, I love you <3

9. [+70, -140] The reason why it took EXO so long is because they're not talented, tsk tsk.

10. [+70, -18] FT Island Love Sick was totally amazing and their songs afterwards were also all good... ㅠㅠ I really liked Until You Come, Thunder, and A Man's First Love Follows Him To The Grave. They were even getting more talented so they surpassed the idol level. I'm not their stan but I keep paying attention to them... I think what matters is talent, not winning 1st quickly. TVXQ, Shinee, and Beast are very talented, too.

11. [+68, -71] EXO fans are claiming that EXO's popularity is not just by SM because "EXO was unpopular during Mama". Well you guys know how many special stages the "unpopular group" had. Unlike other groups, EXO at least had something to lean on. That's why EXO members don't look eager or desperate.
