“I just want to know what made them think of all Twice members she was the one to get a full album. She’s at the bottom of most bias’ list. No hate but it’s the truth.”

“…100k++ sales is a flop and tanked when many groups and solo artists still can’t reach and have it. cy will be richer and the haters will just cry in their rooms…”
