I don't know what to think about this. I sure hope that BAP is completely happy about this because I will support them in whatever they do. Fighting!!

Wow, I'm very surprised that they actually went back to TS. There seemed to be so much anger and resentment from the members toward the company. I just hope that the company truly does treat them better and that they can work together more smoothly from now on. B.A.P hwaiting <3

B.A.P is money mainstream of TS, no wonder they tried their best to bring them back.

I dunno I should be happy or sad. I'm happy that they are finally back to the road they love but don't have any trust left for TS. I hope the mistreat and betrayal will be over and they're gonna start anew. Can't wait to see them!

My boys are coming back! True, I don't really trust TS, but what's done is done. Hope they can keep to their words and take care of B.A.P.

Take time and heal before coming back!

I don't like how they're trying to make B.A.P look like fools who don't know what they're talking about. Those boys know exactly what they're doing. The fans know what TS did to them. This is not all about money. They suffered poor conditions and demanding schedules. I trust BAP and I want to know what they feel about it. Waiting for their statement.

Honestly, this just makes me feel worried for them. I hope they'll be treated well.

These young men get praise and genuine concern for standing up to an agency that stole from them, harmed them physically and gave them no time off. Yet 3 other boys did it and they're called traitors and disgusting names. Daehyun, Bang and Zelo all released music while in contract disputes but they're Korean so it's okay, right? TS didn't have anything to do with making them famous and the fact that they signed themselves into indentured servitude doesn't matter. Good luck BAP, you're going to need it.

I agree with you to a certain degree. What I disagree with is your statement that Daehyun, Bang, and Zelo released music and it was okay because they are Korean. Their music was posted for free. If got the songs legally through their accounts without paying a dime. I think that is the difference. They didn't sign contracts or promote while legally disputing their contract. However, I also think the other "3 boys" have a right to make a living. If they lose their lawsuit, then SM can ask for a portion of their profits made during the contract dispute phase. I don't see why people are reacting this way towards them.

That was sarcasm.  I'm Korean myself.  Tao and Yifan's didn't cost me anything but it is difficult, actually amost impossible to find in Korea.
