COMMENTS:

— You mean to tell me BTS will go on hiatus, moved out of the dorms. And now LINA has not renewed her contract.

— HYBE's stock will go down. BTS and Lina were the main moneymakers.

— Honestly speaking I felt like this was coming since last year.

— Sarang mentioned that she wanted some rest from the public. I wouldn't believe her after the divorce rumors.

— I get that Lina wants to have her children grow up away from the spotlight.

— And here I thought we could get them on Return of Superman.

— I think Sarang is going to take a backseat and focus on her family.

— I mean Taehyung and Sarang both need to be around their kids.
