-Is Woolim closing down their company?
-What is Woolim doing...?
-Woollim is really falling apart now.
-Hul, isn't Golden Child doing pretty well?
-Hul... Two groups all of a sudden? Does this mean Golden Child and Rocket Punch are technically disbanding?
-Is Kwon Eunbi the only one making money for them now?
-Hul... Woolim's going bankrupt?
-Huh...? Who's left in Woolim now then?
-Woollim is disappearing.
-Isn’t Eunbi also under Woollim?
-Aside from Kwon Eunbi, there’s no one left…
-So the remaining artists are Lovelyz’s Sujeong, Kwon Eunbi, Golden Child’s Jangjun and Joochan, Rocket Punch’s Suyun, and Drippin?
-I've been a Golden Child fan since before their debut. It feels so empty and bittersweet to see them end like this. I’ve supported Rocket Punch since their debut, too…
-If they can’t support them, it’s better to let them go, but… Woollim-ah, Woolim-ah...
-Is Woollim closing down...? I thought I saw that Golden Child recently renewed their contract.
-Woollim’s performance has been declining ever since Infinite left.
-I saw them 3 weeks ago... they said we'd meet again soon ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Are things so bad they can’t even release a final album?
-Are they closing down their business?
-If 'Be Mine' hadn’t succeeded, Woollim would have shut down ages ago.
