HYBE favors LE SSERAFIM too much, drowning both GFriend and 10-year seniors to raise "BTS's sister"

Calling LE SSERAFIM the first girl group, HYBE received a lot of "brick and stone".

On May 2, the girl group "BTS sister" LE SSERAFIM officially debuted with the MV Fearless. Right before debut, LE SSERAFIM met with many mixed opinions because member Kim Garam was accused of a violent past at school. Despite public opinion, HYBE still let this member debut with a new girl group. HYBE's way of promoting LE SSERAFIM has once again created a lot of controversy.

Specifically, in a post about LE SSERAFIM's new achievement, the management company did not hesitate to call this girl group "HYBE's first girl group". This makes fans of GFriend and GLAM - two girl groups under the company unhappy. Although they are not the groups that were launched by HYBE, but have joined HYBE, they are still the company's girl group.

Strictly speaking, GLAM is the first girl group of HYBE when they debuted in 2012, before BTS, then disbanded because of member Dahee's scandal. Under HYBE, there are also GFriend and fromis_9, two girl groups that are "transferred" by the company. In addition to causing controversy for ignoring the existence of previous girl groups to call LE SSERAFIM "the first girl group", HYBE was repeatedly accused of neglect by Knet, causing GFriend to disband.

... and fromis_9 are both HYBE's girlgroups

Some comments from Knet:

- Erase all traces of Bangtan too, dare?

- HYBE please fail.

- GLAM disappeared before Hybe so it's okay, but GFriend is a group under HYBE, what's "first"?

- What happens to HYBE is that they will try to cover everything up.

It can be seen that, since the announcement of the official lineup, LE SSERAFIM has caused a lot of controversy when up to 2 members were caught in a drama: Kim Chaewon - former IZ * ONE member who was caught in suspicion of vote fraud & the girl. accused of school violence - Kim Garam.

As for Kim Garam's case, the company handled it very superficially when it came to explaining, ignoring all criticisms from netizens and still letting her debut with the group. In particular, Garam was also assigned to take the ending position of 2 debut songs "Fearless & Blue Flame".

Despite having a beautiful appearance and bright stage, Kim Garam's violent scandal caused a lot of antis. The fact that HYBE ignored the controversy to push Kim Garam made many fans feel confused.

Garam stood in the center of both LE SSERAFIM's debut songs

Many people believe that Kim Garam is still able to debut despite the controversy because the female idol has a very similar appearance to Arisa Mizuki, a 90s Japanese artist who is said to be the "model" of HYBE president - Bang Shihyuk.

However, I don't know if HYBE will rethink or not when she learns that a member is having unbelievable charm on social networks.

Specifically, the fancam Fearless of the Japanese member became the fancam of the Gen 4 female idol to reach 1 million views the fastest when it only took 1 day, 5 hours and 39 minutes on YouTube. This achievement was achieved when Sakura only debuted with LE SSERAFIM... 2 days.

In the comments section, Sakura was praised for her improvement from choreography to facial expressions compared to when she was active with IZ*ONE. It is worth noting that this fancam was filmed by the fans themselves, not by any broadcaster.

Compared to the other 5 members of LE SSERAFIM, Sakura is the one with the longest working history in showbiz when "rolling" from HKT48, AKB48 in Japan to IZ*ONE, LE SSERAFIM in Korea. Therefore, it is not too difficult to understand that the female idol has the largest number of fans in the group and helps her achieve such achievements.

In addition, Kazuha - another member is also noticed by netizens. Specifically, the 3-second clip of the misty Kazuha catwalk attracted more than 1 million views in just 24 hours.

Netizens were quite surprised by the charm of this Japanese member:

- This kid didn't say his nationality, he thought he was Korean. The actor-style visuals are Korean fans' taste too.

- This guy has a really natural smile, showing his teeth that the frame is bright.

-She's actually the first female idol that made an impression on me! Love this little look!

- The company should push her to be the center instead of Ms. Kim Garam.
