Article: INFINITE talks about SM merge "Nothing will change... Please trust and follow us"

Source: TV Report via Nate

1. [+262, -37] I hope with the merge, they're able to get more help than they've ever gotten before. Work hard and grow big!

2. [+213, -33] Desperately hoping that they do even better from here on out

3. [+185, -37] I hope it's a win win situation for both SM and Woollim ㅜㅜ INFINITE's world tour daebak~.~

4. [+29, -2] You guys will do fine

5. [+27, -6] Some of these comments are just... Do you even know how hard INFINITE had to work to get up here? Accusing them of tarnishing SM's name, of riding on their fame... This is for the benefit of both companies.

6. [+25, -5] At the concert, Woohyun closed it out by saying, "I don't know what we did so wrong that led to people being like this to us (sob) We worked so hard from the bottom up (continues to sob)" Please realize that they're human beings before leaving hateful comments;;

6. [+23, -5] SM made the offer to Woollim way before their world tour. CEO Lee Joong Yub already mentioned that they received an offer from a huge company. And why should Woollim get hate for joining SM for money? This entire industry is dependent on money

7. [+22, -13] SM is SM and Woollim is Woollim, just that SM is now also Woollim's wallet!

8. [+21, -0] I have a feeling SM will bea ble to help support INFINITE a lot stronger with their international advancements and promotions. I trust that INFINITE won't change because of this merge.

1. [+114, -8] It's alright for INFINITE but what's going to happen to Nell....

2. [+76, -9] ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

3. [+74, -22] I don't know why people are so worried over Nell. Lee Soo Man isn't an idiot, f(x) and SHINee still get praised for their musicality;;;; I doubt he'd make Nell dance or anything.

1. [+668, -62] I don't want INFINITE to take on SM's color, I like them the way they are now

2. [+606, -73] Is SM fully intending to swallow up Korea's entertainment industry? INFINITE's doing fine, don't turn them into SM style

3. [+510, -34] What in the... world!!! Why would Woollim and SM.... I'm so disappointed in Woollim...

4. [+434, -45] SM's getting so greedy for money

5. [+341, -18] Financially, it's good news for INFINITE and Nell... but why am I not happy.

6. [+302, -26] It's not with SM but SM C&C.

7. [+277, -53] Seriously, don't mess with INFINITE

8. [+218, -24] Is this good news for INFINITE? Either way, I hope they maintain their color

9. [+194, -23] Bad news for Nell....

10. [+180, -15] This is crazy... INFINITE under SM? That sounds all kinds of wrong... Is Woollim starved for money? INFINITE's doing fine right now, they don't match SM at all

1. [+383, -10] This unni never ages. She collected so many Barbie dolls and she's become one herself. So jealous.

2. [+356, -14] This nuna's truly amazing... Even with such a tiny body, she manages to fill up that entire stage. Amazing.

3. [+278, -13] This nuna never ages, does she...

4. [+36, -3] If you think about it, she's the original Lady Gaga

5. [+32, -1] Honestly, I think she's better performance wise than Lee Hyori. Not only in terms of vocal talent, but she's second to nobody in dancing and performance. She fills up that entire stage alone.

Article: INFINITE to comeback on the 16th... new track 'Destiny' and its blockbuster level teaser 'wow'

Source: Sports Seoul via Naver

1. [+215, -19] When INFINITE first debuted, I didn't think they'd stand a chance against 2PM, B2ST, or MBLAQ but I'm actually quite amazed at how well they're doing...

2. [+165, -24] INFINITE!!! I really personally want you guys to do well. Your music is great, the members are great, and as someone who's watched 'The Genius' from the beginning, I know that Sunggyu made a mistake out of his passion to do better... It wasn't at all anything that warranted the amount of hate he got. I swear that he was just a target to bury another issue that came up a few days later. Please don't fall prey to media play.. He even apologized right away. There's nobody who's perfect in this world, everyone makes mistakes. I never get sick of INFINITE's songs so I'm looking forward to this album.

3. [+160, -28] You can really tell they spent a lot of money on the teaser. Good job, Woollim, pats on the butt for you! And the new logo is cool as well~~~

4. [+134, -20] We won't be able to do anything about the 'yomul' comments for a while... Sunggyu made a mistake, nothing we can do about it ㅋㅋㅋ As fans, we should just let it go ㅋㅋㅋ He was in the wrong, we admit it ㅋㅋㅋ Let's just make sure we all work hard, kids. This nuna will buy your album as soon as it's released, all right! ㅋㅋ Amazing INFINITE!!! Fighting!

5. [+126, -24] I trust INFINITE. Not only is this comeback on another scale, but I want INFINITE to do well because they work without rest just for their fans.

Article: Sunggyu apologizes for his statement

Source: Newsen via Nate [allkpop article here]

1. [+1,098, -73] It's because you're still young... You'll realize when you're 30 that being 30 isn't all that old either... You're going to hit 30 before you even know it.

2. [+1,328, -444] What a joke ㅋㅋㅋ It's too late to apologize now, your image is already down the trash. Unfortunate because it's not like you're even handsome enough to warrant saying such things either.

3. [+950, -92] At least you apologized. Next time, think before you speak and go study a bit more... There are things you can say out loud and things you shouldn't.

4. [+134, -53] Since when was INFINITE even popular enough to go around saying whatever they want?

5. [+119, -40] Sunggyu-ya, what does that make your mom? Starting from today, your mother, aunt, and grandma are all yomuls.

Article: Sunggyu clarifies 'yomul' statement

Source: Sports Chosun via Naver

1. [+1,907, -199] Those yomuls are the ones buying your CDs and going to your concerts, you ungrateful brat!

2. [+1,657, -129] I'm sorry but the word yomul itself is derogatory. You might not have intended to be used in such a way but you really chose the wrong word to express yourself there. Looks like you don't seem to understand it as a bad word??? Take this, you yomul ba$tard

3. [+1,427, -88] Seriously, idols shouldn't be allowed to debut until they've studied up to a certain point

4. [+1,223, -68] Is he stupid... Why would he use the word yomul in that context. It makes no sense.

5. [+1,043, -71] Is he seriously trying to say that he didn't have any bad intentions using that word? ㅋㅋㅋ Seems like kids these days use that word to be funny, huh? This isn't just a simple matter of him being stupid, it's a reflection of his normal thoughts on women... grading women on their worth according to their age.

6. [+924, -72] This guy is 25 years old himself. Being a young, immature idol shouldn't be used as an excuse for him.

7. [+829, -47] I'm an INFINITE fan and admit that it's wrong for fans to immediately jump to his defense. I do realize that he was just responding to a joke made by a senior but if the viewers say they were uncomfortable with what he said, then he is in the wrong no matter what and should apologize. I hope that he uses this experience to be more careful in the future. Netizens, please realize that even us fans are put off by other fans defending their oppas and saying he is not in the wrong.

8. [+707, -60] I saw some of his fans trying to shield this and it was hilarious ㅋㅋㅋ They're saying the government purposely made him say it to create a controversy so they can cover up some governmental scandal ㅋㅋㅋ Stupid fangirls, are you serious?

9. [+350, -20] A woman over 30 is a yomul, a man discharged from the army is a gomul (useless/junk), a short man is a loser, and an idol over 30 is twemul (on the decline)... but oh yeah, I didn't intend any of these to sound negative~!!!

Article: Sunggyu in controversy for speaking without thinking "A woman is a yomul when she's 30 years old"

Source: Newsen via Nate

I don't really have an exact translation for 'yomul' so I'll just throw at you what Naver dictionary says: wicked, treacherous, sly, cunning, crafty,...

Park Eun Ji: "It hasn't been easy for me now that I've lived 30 years."

Lee Sang Min: "That's true.. Once a woman hits 30..."

Sunggyu: "That's right. She's a 'yomul'."

1. [+1,061, -80] Watch your mouth, it'll end your career overnight.

2. [+926, -75] Your career won't last long if you're stupid, Sunggyu

3. [+893, -70] Do you think you only have teens for fans?? tsk tsk tsk put a filter on that mouth

4. [+151, -22] INFINITE as a group just seems... so empty headed. They've all got the celebrity disease and think they're hot sh*t. I remember on another show, they were asked to the gwiyomi player and they were like, "Ah, we're not that low level to be doing things like that anymore" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hilarious

5. [+109, -27] What nugu is saying such crazy things, this is daebak ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+107, -11] How low has his opinion of 30 year old women been all this while for him to say this so nonchalantly? ㅡㅡ Does he not care at all for the 30+ year old fans he might have?

7. [+87, -11] I used to think he was a decent, nice kid... but this is really severe, how could he say this on broadcast? Unless he's not in the right state of mind?

8. [+77, -8] He must think he's worth something because ugly little girls are always praising him saying he's handsome and that he sings well.

9. [+77, -16] The majority of idols have rocks for brains so no wonder they say things like this without knowing it's wrong

10. [+54, -6] Look at him run his mouth now that he thinks he's popular... That's a surefire way to end your career overnight ㅜㅜ He seemed a bit cocky on other shows too ㅜㅜ

Article: INFINITE Hoya "I bought my parents a house for Parents' Day'

Source: Star News via Daum

1. [+374, -3] You can see why everyone's so desperate to become a celebrity now, right?

2. [+277, -3] I feel sorry to my parents... I'm 24 years old and just entered the work force so I ended up getting my parents a carnation and a hand written letter.. I'll buy you guys something better next year ㅠ.ㅠ

3. [+188, -13] I don't get why they ask these questions.

4. [+128, -1] Must be good to be a celebrity

5. [+105, -9] To be more specific, his stupid fangirls bought it for his parents

6. [+97, -4] The perfect article to make the rest of us feel bad

7. [+92, -8] Wait, what's B1A4?? A new paper company??

8. [+79, -3] I'm really jealous... crazily envious..

9. [+57, -2] Are we supposed to be touched over this

10. [+48, -2] I'm sorry to my own parents...

11. [+36, -0] Celebrities get money in waves once you get a little popular... While Seoul University graduates can't find jobs even in their 30s because of the high standards..The majority of the celebrities barely graduate high school.

12. [+20, -1] He obviously worked hard for it but you have to admit his career is really easy to make money in... Men don't find proper paying jobs until they're in their 30s and start off with $3,000 a month while celebrities easily pull in $10,000 a month ㅋ

13. [+12, -0] Never thought INFINITE was that popular but I guess they're doing well enough to buy their parents a house... and Goo Hara even owns property in Chungdamdong. I can see why people are obsessed with becoming celebrities.
