Swings was previously granted medical leave from his army service (with 11 months left) when he declared that he wouldn't be doing any activities that earned him a profit for the remaining time in his service and that he would be focusing on treatments. It was found, however, that he has been charging for rap lessons/lectures which amount to about 25 million won a month in profit.

1. [+1,006, -12] He's only a rapper when he's criticizing society and its hierarchy of status ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ but him in the face of duty and he's got a "mental illness" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+861, -8] So embarrassing for him ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I've never seen these hip hoppers who act all hardcore ever complete a normal service, tsk tsk

3. [+787, -3] Well it looks like he's all better now, time for him to go back to the army...

4. [+56, -1] I bet he acted like an idiot during his medical test and went back to normal once he was discharged

5. [+54, -1] Or he actually does have a mental illness... doesn't even know what he promised anymore. I wonder if he really is even sick....

6. [+51, -1] Someone suffering from a mental illness is giving rap lessons ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ on what? mental illnesses?

7. [+42, -2] So has anyone in hip hop completed a normal service yet?
- The well liked Sleepy
- Might be hard to believe but DinDin
- DinDin, Palo Alto, B-Free, there are more than you think
- Minos, Verbal Jint, Huck P, Rhyme-A-

8. [+27, -1] I know so many people who are actually sick but force themselves to complete their service. Why are there so many "sick" celebrities... I hope they all get healthy soon.

9. [+24, -1] Just shut up and go back to the army

10. [+19, -1] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Idiot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+18, -1] Who are the idiots even paying for lessons with him ㅎ

12. [+17, -1] If his mental illness is bad to the point where he can't even complete his service, shouldn't he be hospitalized... what's he doing working

1. [+12,739, -82] Maybe he really is mental?? Since he can't even remember what he promised ㅋㅋ

2. [+9,128, -208] This is why hip hop stars will never be taken seriously in Korea ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+7,842, -95] $300 for 4 lessons? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You kids are better off taking that money and buying your parents a delicious meal with. Why would you waste your money on a pathetic hip hop star like him ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+1,343, -17] This is honestly worse than Psy. Shouldn't he be put back in the army?

5. [+1,019, -8] Well at least we know he wasn't lying about being mental as he's sure acting like it;

6. [+783, -8] Everyone who bought lessons from him for $300 need to get treatment with him too
