@@Raborat ​I know and speaking of that, what about what SM done with the snsd members. Apparently they weren't giving Seohyun enough attention. I think she must of been fed up!

I was disappointed she's out of the group. But glad she is because, she does not have to suffer and put up with crap anyone more!

Also Jessica's is out of the group as well. Glad she is as well they didn't deserve her either.
And so is Tiffany.
I don't know why Tiffany is though.

As for the audio being bad, It's unacceptable. And the fact that it was planned that is nasty.
There was no need to even sell a million copies, because from what I can see it wouldn't of been long before the girls became popular.



@aldojoel4836

Obligatory "if you don't like it don't watch it, they sing better than you" comment.

Obligatory "I'm talking about the audio quality" response

"They did it so they would buy the album"

Then I put my grain of salt "someone please! A fan, update it!! Also, it's a bit late to reshoot the MV, but the green screen looks soooooo low budget. Could such person, nay, hero, also diminish the brightness on their bodies so it matches the background a bit more?"

There, I just posted cringe dude. Basically every thread on this comment section 😂😂
