ILLIT: The Most Hated Rookie K-Pop Group Ever?!

ILLIT has just debuted and yet their journey has already been marked by several big controversies. But why did HYBE set them up for this when they could have easily prevented this amount of backlash?

R u next was a biggest joke...they could have just debut them instead of playing that media show..girls wouldn’t get this much hate

[AshleyMoore-umom]

That one girl who left the group before the debut saved herself from all this mess. Good decision.

[moooonelle]

I was really upset when the final lineup was announced. I don't want to outright call the members "untalented" but there were so many trainees who deserved to debut instead of some members. imo yunah, minju and youngseo were the only ones who deserved to debut.
the other girls can improve but it still pisses me off that the talented trainees didn't have a chance to debut just because of their age and visuals or whatever reasons.
At the end of the day none of these girls deserve hate.

HYBE use these girls as a weapon against New Jeans and their director.
They don't even care what happen to them. They just want to hurt New Jeans as much as they can.

[Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

The problem with hybe is that it wanted to become the biggest kpop company and compete with the big 3, and it did succeed in term of monetary, but hybe have to understand that this big 3 companies were not created in a span of 2-3 years. It has taken a lot of effort and time to reach the top. Maybe if bighit has remained with bts and actually waited for the right time to debut new groups by properly training them it would have been better, but i guess bang was too greedy and wanted to reach the top with shortcut method and he is paying the price for it now.

At this point I think Yungseo and Kim Garam really dodged the bullet 😅

HYBE making ILLIT's success seems sped up or forced to catch up to NJ success does not sit well with me. It's as if they were planning to get rid of MHJ and NJ for a long time already. 💀

[celiarose]

Here's my opinion:
HYBE asked MHJ to be CEO in Ador and promise her to make her own female group concept. When MHJ was ready to debut NewJeans, BSH hold it so Le Sserafim can debut first. Probably he thinks that Le Sserafim has Sakura and will get more popularity, means more views, more sellling albums, more money.
Then MHJ debut with NewJeans, finally! It become success, new fresh concept, catchy songs, the icon of that year, really stood out among all other concept.

But.. BSH didn't expect NewJeans will surpass Le Sserafim, he doesn't want to 'lose' and make ILLIT debut stealing NewJeans concept, thinking he can make more money and also 'crush' MHJ's work.

i feel bad for the illit members, but the people that deemed illit's members "debut ready"... they're just money hungry at this point. absolutely shameless.

[michelleh]

it is clear Hybe wants to eliminate NewJeans, since they created Illit. NewJeans does not get the same treat as the other idol groups under Hybe.

[arrluamcmon]

They are not ready to be idols, the company is in a hurry, they are hungry for money, the company looks down on the consumers.

[amoswang]

Forcing Lesserafim in Coachella rather than NewJeans is also fault play from Hybe.
(I dont hate Lesserafim or ILLiT) 😢

[richardc]

It’s because they didn’t innovate when they debut. Usually rookie groups have something that sets them apart. They are just doing the same concept

[mediapulsehub]

I don't think it's ILLIt fault. The girls are innocent in this.

[blakpurplink]

NewJeans formula is borrowing trends from previous generations and making them fresh in today’s era.

ILLIT’s producers on the other hand look like they’re just borrowing something NewJeans had just done months ago.

Belift should give ILLIT new producers.

[chelle]

I personally don’t hate them. It’s a weird situation of a song being really catchy, but then feeling like the members can’t even sing the song. The arguments of dancing and singing at the same time is hard…yeah, that’s why EVERYONE doesn’t debut. You should be able to do it all. It was also strange to witness them win every music show despite not being able to sound decent while standing still?? Also the facial expressions feel forced/memorized rather than natural. Idk…the vibes are a no, but like I said, I don’t hate them.

[mediapulsehub]

Maybe they removed the 6th girl from the group so as they can match new jeans number. Who knows? And I think ILLIt needs more training.

[ShanwanaPuppy]

This is why we need to stop debuting minors under 18- a lot of them are babies and is getting so much backlash and that’s a lot on a young grown is girls mental

[hiiniidhee]

MHJ is not wrong ILLIT does remind me of NJ a lot 😭

[KIJO-MY-RING]

You guys... STOP. HATING. ILLIT
Min heejin herself said during her press conference,
"And im not blaming illit themselves, what sin did those little kids do? This is an adult matter!"
Its not their fault. Its hybe's fault... Illit have to face the criticism, cause their company is literally sleeping....
