In December 2022, the famous Korean hip hop duo called Geeks (consisting of rappers Lil Boi and Louie) announced that their label Grandline Entertainment would launch a subsidiary called Grandline Group ( GLG). Along with this news, Grandline Group also revealed plans to launch their first girl group named H1-KEY, expected to officially debut in January 2022.

The H1-KEY group includes 4 members of the Grandline Group company. This is a rather strange name for fans. However, the most notable detail is that in H1-KEY's debut lineup there are 2 former trainees from giants JYP and YG. In addition, the group that just debuted has encountered turbulence.

The 4 girls appeared at the press conference and on the debut stage wearing tight, strong, sporty outfits. With an outstanding average height of up to 1m7, many people are even confused: "Are these aerobic trainers?". This is also the main controversial issue for netizens:

- Outfits make the group look like aerobics instructors.

- Why is the outfit so simple for the debut stage? Shouldn't I at least add some sparkle?

-The company can only prepare outfits like this...

- It looks like gym clothes.

- Proof that just wearing branded clothes doesn't make you beautiful...

Explaining this problem, the group shared that these sporty outfits are suitable for their MV Athletic Girl. The girls also revealed that their role models are MAMAMOO and shared their determination to become a new generation global girl group.

In the H1-KEY lineup, in addition to Seoiri, a former YG trainee, and Yel, a former JYP trainee, netizens also focused their attention on Thai idol Sitala. Many people realized that the company tried to shape Sitala's image to be similar to her compatriot Lisa (BLACKPINK).

It would not be worth mentioning if her entire family, including Sitala, were discovered to have long supported the military and the Thai dictatorship. In a photo posted on social networks, Sitala was seen wearing a shirt with a message supporting the dictatorship.

The hashtag and poster #BANSITALA have been spreading across Twitter as Thai netizens simultaneously boycotted the female idol, demanding that the management company immediately cancel Sitala's debut and let her leave H1-KEY if I don't want the whole group to get involved.

Most notably, Thailand is not the only market that has spoken out against Sitala's launch plan. Immediately after learning about Sitala's family background, Korean netizens quickly sided with the Thai people and unanimously agreed that letting a member involved in a political controversy leave the group immediately is the way to go. The only way Grandline Group can save H1-KEY at this time. With the majority of Koreans vehemently opposing the dictatorship in Thailand, if they still keep Sitala in the group, it is almost certain that H1-KEY will lose their main market, Korea, and firmly grasp performance was boycotted when it officially debuted.
