[ +130 / -4] Why are the seatings like that for SHINee fans… The Golden Disk Award venue rental fees were probably most paid by Girls’ Generation fans and SHINee fans..

[ +127 / -9] The more I think about it, this is unfair for SHINee. They ranked 3rd and 2nd place and received a lot of votes. Also, SHINee fans paid the most money… Think of the money we have spent the past 4 or 5 years…. Mean people… The venue renting wouldn’t have been possible without SHINee or Girls’ Generation.

[ +110 / -4] This is too much. Even 200 seats wouldn’t have been enough. We paid for the venue fees.
