1. [+411, -20] Kakao is basically stealing his company out from under him, no? He spent his whole life building that company, it’d be weird if he wasn’t as pissed as he is right now.
2. [+238, -2] Kakao’s second-largest shareholder is a Chinese company… feels like an attempt for China to slyly steal away Korean companies
3. [+170, -13] The people in his company have become blinded by the money offered in front of them that they had no hesitation in sticking a knife right into the founder’s back! This is actually such a dirty story of betrayal ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Kakao has always been infamous for their loyalty to the CCP and for being just the most terrible company possible. You can tell they were behind this entire scenario to oust Lee Soo Man and eat up SM whole. You just know that the CCP is jealous that Korea is hitting daebak with Hallyu and that they still stop at nothing to eat up everything in their way so that they can claim this daebak as theirs.
4. [+117, -1] I can’t stand Kakao, this was so sly of them.
5. [+92, -6] This is basically the beginning of SM being passed off to Chinese investments. SM idols are now Chinese idols.
6. [+35, -0] I support Lee Soo Man!! We cannot allow SM to be passed off to Chinese money.
7. [+23, -4] Kakao basically wants what Lee Soo Man spent his whole life building
8. [+19, -0] Kakao at it again… This company never works on building their own ideas to fruition but stepping in on other’s ideas in the middle and snatching it up. I want Lee Soo Man to win this.
9. [+15, -0] Has there been a single acquisition where Kakao’s involvement improved the business? All they serve are the directors who sweep the money into their pockets.
10. [+14, -5] Obviously Lee Soo Man has been running the business into the ground for them to step in like this. Sure, he may have founded and built the company but isn’t he the one who started selling his shares to others after going public? That means those people who bought those shares have a right to say what they want to happen to the company. If he had run his business appropriately, he would not be getting ousted like this.
11. [+9, -0] I don’t like Lee Soo Man but I’m not that fond of Kakao eating his business up either
12. [+9, -4] If Lee Soo Man had been a good leader, this wouldn’t be happening. He was basically committing embezzlement the whole time, what more can he say?
13. [+3, -0] Kakao’s such a thug of a company
14. [+3, -0] What’s even scarier is that all the first-generation idols who built their wealth under Lee Soo Man are all staying totally quiet about this right now. The betrayal is unreal.
15. [+3, -0] I hate that my favorite group SNSD is going to be tainted with Chinese investments now
