i am so sick and tired of everyone treating katseye, illit, le sserafim and every other hybe group like they personally ruined the music industry and hating them under the guise of hating the company.
at this point people aren’t even criticizing these groups anymore, they’re just looking for a reason to hate them. every performance, every chart achievement, every comeback, every random clip gets picked apart under a microscope.
you don’t have to stan them, you don’t even have to like their music but the way some of y’all act like these girls are villains for simply existing is genuinely ridiculous. the outrage is so forced that it stops being criticism and just becomes a hate campaign.
it’s especially weird because the people receiving the heat are always the idols themselves instead of the executives making the decisions everyone claims to be mad at.
Namjoon said that in 2017 at the AMAs, #BTS didn’t even have a room of their own to do their makeup and now in 2026, the AMAs gave them the biggest room just for them 😭💜
“Last night, I really felt like a strange feeling cause it reminds me of like 2017, 9 years ago when we first attended the AMAs, we had no green room and we literally had to fix our makeup in the hallway.. But last night we used the biggest room”
