“So they're having concerts in the US because of KDH ok well-noted Joshua, go back to Korea and pack up your things from Hybe, which so happens was built by BTS, so where do we go from here? Go to your so-called KDH that opened the door for K-Pop...come on, pack up your things.”

“KPDH is created and funded by SONY Pictures Animation, which means the West and other countries are reaping the benefits of what BTS have been promoting, but it doesn't benefit SK or Kpop industry! And d*** Joshua is thanking them while KPDH got the inspiration from BTS.”
