2. [+814, -63] This stage pretty much confirmed that Jimin is an idol to the bone
3. [+726, -58] I have no words for Jimin’s lyrics ㅋㅋ She talked about hating double standards and being treated like an idol but her lyrics are just complete idol talk ㅋㅋ Still talking about being the prettiest in unpretty rap star;;; She’s not a rapper, just a sexy idol
4. [+6,073, -276] Anyone can tell Cheetah won this… Like Cheetah said, Jimin just looked like she was performing on a music program

6. [+1,073, -103] Jimin seriously put Iron and backdancers up there and shook her hips around just to win over Cheetah… so unlikable
7. [+887, -46] Jimin’s a joke. She cries about being an idol all the time but she’s only gotten this far because she’s an idol…
8. [+4,125, -112] Cheetah was amazing… goosebumps
