On the lower rungs, Crayon Pop raise the bar
Fancam of forthcoming track from Crayon Pop, "Bar Bar Bar." CRAYON POP DO NOT DISAPPOINT. I had to get out of my chair: I was laughing so hard I was afraid I'd hurt myself. I think those are toboggan helmets. Anyway, I can't wait on this. (H/t to David Frazer, as usual, for all things Crayon Pop.)
Subtract the visuals and there's still a great little song, a girl chant that's an earworm with harmonies (or harmonic something, anyway; I would welcome a musical analysis).

By the way, the company says they only looked at Ilbe to see what users were saying about girl groups.

The article that actually quotes Agency is in Korean, so I can't read it.
Reddit comments aren't giving me a good idea what's going on — and seem par for the course for the Internet, i.e., fairly thoughtless, though here's someone who had an idea that I had:
And here's a comment that's so extreme that even I think it's unfair to Netizens (and I'm assuming it's deliberate hyperbole), but it made me smile nonetheless:
Btw David, do you think there's anything there in all this. I guess I mean that question in two ways: (1) Do you yourself consider this as something that deserves to be an issue, that the CEO and one group member are familiar with a forum (as opposed to their putting right-wing content in their music and in their public statements and symbolism)? (2) Whatever your answer to number one, do you think this actually will be a scandal, will have much of an impact? (E.g., the supposed "bullying" thing had a big impact on the public perception of T-ara, though if Hwayoung hadn't been canned I doubt it would have; but even with all that still in memory, Netizen attempts* to raise a scandal about T-ara N4 having a disco poster that supposedly looked like a Rising Sun flag in the background of the "Countryside Diary" video didn't have legs, from what I can tell.)
*In shifting to their new format, Allkpop seems to have deleted all the old comments. I remember over a thousand comments to this article, many making fun of k-netizens for raising this issue.
