Another group came out of Mnet's survival program.

Like IOI, WANNA ONE OR IZ*ONE, KEP1ER promises to become the hottest rookie group by the end of 2021. Although not yet debuted, the group has quickly received a lot of attention from netizens for a reason. because it's so special.

Recently, Mnet released the debut teaser, releasing the chains for KEP1ER's new MV. It will not be worth mentioning when the concept of this teaser is said to be very weird and chaotic. The photo spread to each other, causing the undebuted group to be criticized by the online community. The first teaser photo with the name "Hello Kep1er" quickly became a topic that caused the Korean online community and Kep1er fans to stir up and discuss from the time the photo was released until now, but almost all All current reactions are very negative.

There are two main reasons why KEP1ER's long-awaited teaser has to face such a chaotic situation, the first is because the center position has always been an extremely sensitive topic for groups coming out of the country. survival show. It can be seen in the newly released photo that the person sitting in the center is Shen Tieu Dinh. This fact has aroused fierce controversy in KEP1ER's own fandom because Shen Tieu Dinh only ranked 9th overall, while Kim Chaehyun - who won the first place with the highest number of votes, was not seated correctly. The position that should have belonged to her. Because of this, KEP1ER's internal fans were confused and attacked each other. And is this the wrong move of Mnet?.

The second and main reason why the "Hello Kep1er" teaser is being criticized everywhere is because the concept and makeup are so weird that the members look like a completely different person. Many people even claimed that they couldn't find their bias the first time they looked at the photo, and even the members who were famous for their outstanding visuals during "Girls Planet 999" took place. being "drowned" by the terrible beauty in this photo with too many problems.

In addition to the debut teaser that made KEP1ER famous, the first concept photos were released that made KEP1ER's hotness not cooled down. Right after the official debut date was announced, Kep1er also shared the first set of concept photos called "Concept Photo 1: Connect 0". In order of age, 3 members Choi Yujin, Shen Tieu Dinh and Sakamoto Mashiro were also the first to release individual teasers for the group's highly-anticipated debut.

Unlike the unprecedented wave of negative reactions that Kep1er had to face because of the previous "Hello Kep1er" photo, the newly released individual concept series received a lot of praise from the Korean online community. Not only having the right hairstyle, outfit and makeup, contributing to highlighting each member's beauty, the "Concept Photo 1: Connect 0" series of photos also made the audience excited for the concept choice. The smart debut of the girl group that came out of "Girls Planet 999". Many netizens even believe that if they choose a good song with the right concept, this girl group is still capable of resounding success even though they have been criticized and ridiculed for many different reasons before.

Seo Young Eun and Kang Ye Seo on November 26, ahead of their official debut, Kep1er's first variety show "Kep1er View" will air its first episode on Mnet on December 2.

One of the rookie groups expected to become a rival to KEP1ER is I'VE. Those will be 2 of the strong candidates for the female rookie award of 2022 who have confirmed their official debut date, and they will be on the floor less than 2 weeks apart.

Releasing individual concept photos almost at the same time as Kep1er, another rookie girl group, IVE, is disappointing Korean netizens when the teaser for their debut album has a girl crush style - what the online community has always called. Starship must be avoided at all costs.

In recent years, the girl crush concept has flourished in the Korean idol industry, but there are only a few girl groups pursuing this concept that really succeed in the domestic market. Therefore, netizens in kimchi began to fear that IVE would not be able to compete with representatives of big companies like BLACKPINK or AESPA even if they have a 2-member lineup that already has public recognition. Previously tall were Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung.

Member Kep1er reached the top trend because of a controversial issue that has not been resolved: No female idol has ever caused Knet a headache because the question is so similar or not like Irene (Red Velvet). And that member is none other than Center Kim Chae Hyun.

In recent appearances of Kep1er, Kim Chaehyun is still a name that Korean netizens are especially interested in because after cutting her bangs, this female idol born in 2002 is commented to look more and more like Irene (Red) Velvet) than.

Articles with the topic of whether these two female idols are similar or not have received a lot of attention from the online community. Even such an article recently hit the top trending on Nate Pann, recording more than 120,000 views and over 370 comments, most of which are just debating whether these two girls are really similar. to that extent. Some people frankly stated that it is impossible for Kim Chaehyun to look so much like Irene that she is called "little Irene" because the visual of the leader of Red Velvet is a unique legend in the Kpop female idol world. However, on the contrary, many people think that regardless of the good or the bad, Kim Chaehyun's face clearly feels quite similar to Irene, and the fact that she is a former SM trainee reinforces the perception. This decision is in the mind of a part of Korean netizens.
