1. [+923, -192] It's such a waste since they're good artists

2. [+813, -22] Well... They had to postpone because of all the hate

3. [+442, -10] Ahhhh

4. [+282, -66] Shouldn't they of cancelled going on Music Station too? I guess it makes sense that they can't cancel since it's already the day of but this is such a huge problem. Couldn't another artist add more songs to their performance? Or played two songs from Michelle?

5. [+271, -4] I don't want them to come out on Music Station today. I don't know how they would present themselves. Seems like Tamo is in trouble too

6. [+245, -195] This is becoming an international problem

7. [+171, -25] Wait so the song also has discriminative content in it, not just the MV?
          >> 8. [+146, -30] It's because of the title

9. [+157, -4] This is more serious than I thought

10. [+95, -2] Today's the first time I'm hearing about this, but if you have a title like 'Columbus' I guess you can't not have a controversy to this extent. Asian people are commonly called apes so it has discriminatory imagery to it too. Why did they make something with such content in it anyways
          >> 11. [+43, -13] The lyrics are plain terrible too wwww. It feels like they're extremely ignorant

12. [+88, -5] So the song itself also had to be postponed?

13. [+58, -19] It's unavoidable isn't it(´・ω・`)
