Why People Hate The New Big Hit Male Group Trainee A 

tbh, it's kinda unfair that the other members are also getting hate because of that one member who wrote the most questionable rap lyrics ever... the rest didn't really do anything wrong, it's just him that messed up real bad so idk why the others are also getting hated:(

I understand not wanting to stan them because of what Leo wrote but hating on them because most of them aren't korean!? What!? I've seen xenophobic comments towards them and it's completely ridiculous. Why does that matter!? I just want to listen to music, i couldn't care less about their nationalities Edit: 11 June - Since I have made this comment, there has been numerous arguments over this situation.and I will say this again. Even though he has apologised and some idols have done worse, doesn't mean you have to forgive Leo. I have ,PERSONALLY, decided to give him another chance because I have done it so many times when idols do or say something racist. BUT just because I do, DOESN'T mean anyone has too!! And STOP COMPARING THIS SITUATION TO DIFFERENT IDOLS!!! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LEO, NOT BTS OR ANY OTHER K-POP ARTISTS SO SHUT THE HELL UP! And yes I do Stan Trainee A but I'm calling something out that needs to be said! Sexism and misogyny has been to normalised around the world and people need to stop making excuses for them. I also want to state, Leo actually acknowledge his mistake and said he is trying to change when Trainee A went to busk at Venice Beach. He has PUBLICLY addressed in in front of hundreds and hundreds of people. Still then, people don't have to accept his apology and everyone (fan or not) should be allowed to criticize him for his lyrics. Edit (25th Aug 2022): Leo has left Trainee A. I still won't defend his lyrics but I can't believe you bullied him so much that it was affecting his mental health severely and now he has left the group. You bullied him into giving up. Are you happy now!? Yes, his lyrics were gross, but you sending him hate and death threats makes you gross too. The K-pop community needs to do better. Situations like these causes idols to (TW) commit suicide. You CAN criticise someone without telling them to KTS. I hope u are proud of yourselves. You guys are ridiculous

In the showdown he performed 3 songs (the message of each one is important). It was a fictional storyline where a girl who was a gold digger manipulated him for money. The first song was when he was upset, some of the lyrics were ‘girl let go before you kill me slowly, thought it was love wasn’t meant to be’ 2nd song he talks about how he has money and she played him because of it ‘you know ima ball ima have it’, ‘I got these racks’ and now referencing the girl ‘b*tches done played with me’. And the 3rd song talks about how the girl can’t live without the money she used him for. And this is where the situations been misunderstood, taken out of context and false lies have been spread. Leo used and modified the song ‘stop breathing’ by playboy carti. Which ISNT a song about abusing women but about his friend who got murdered. meaning of the song:“Stop Breathing” is a high-energy punk-rap homage to Gucci Mane’s “Shirt Off,” an ode to Carti’s gang members, as well as a brutal diss track aimed at incarcerated ATL rapper Ola Runt and his Henchmen gang. The Henchmen killed a close friend of Carti’s named Bigg Sosa, which is what prompted Carti to channel his anger into this diss" The ‘stop breathing’ part in the song also wasn’t about hurting women, it was about girls going breathless when seeing playboy carti topless. Leo used these stop breathing lyrics to reference that she couldnt live without his money (which was clearly a poor decision)‘fuck that hoe in my bank’ is saying fuck her for using the money in my bank+‘took that bitch to the store’again references how he would spend money on her. Leo clearly didn’t think enough about the lyrics and this is evident by the fact that he said (in the now deleted vlog) his focus/effort was in the actual performance not the lyrics. The actual words he said on the vlog: " don't focus too much on the lyrics or meaning, I prepared myself thinking about the vibe of the performance"Leo modelled his stage after Playboy Cartis performance of ‘stop breathing’, just search for playboy Carti's stage. Yes he made a mistake and he shouldn’t of wrote those lyrics. He should have known that the people watching aren’t rap fans but Kpop fans who could find aggressive songs offensive and also may not be okay with or understand rap culture of swearing etc however,The lies and disgusting accusations needs to stop. Some Kpop stans speak about him as if he is evil calling him a women abuser, wrote a song about r*pe etc.People also started calling him racist because he used the word slavery in the second song. It was literally just him saying he didn’t want to be a slave to this girl. The word slavery is not a slur and their wasn’t even any meaning of race. Everyone is ofc allowed to have their own feelings about the situation but I hope at least people are now more informed of the whole situation. And if you'll say he's mad/angry blah blah blah Leo said in the vlog that he used a situation when he was angry a while ago and channeled that energy for the third song which is what a lot of songwriters do. He didn’t write it BECAUSE he was angry. And again the girl is fictional so he wasn’t angry at a real girl. Edit(8/25/22): Leo already quit and I honestly blame it because of those people who bullied and send dts to him, y'all made him give up on his dreams, he become a trainee for 3 years and half just to get all those hates? Are u guys happy now?! Leo did offended some people with his lyrics before but y'all cross the line so much, he's a human too and he's not blind not to see the hates y'all sending him, I see some people say that they hope one of his family member (mom/sis) will get Rword, that's seriously so disgusting wth. That kind of attitude you guys have are the reasons why some of kpop idols su!c!d3. Are you guys proud of what you guys did? I hate y'all seriously.

Oh guys really? A. Having members from many different countries is a best market move! There should be a lot more of that! Korean music industry should spread around the world and show the world how disciplined and diverse their music is! B. Leo is a 19 year old. Everybody is judging mistakes like they never done any! The kid apologised… let’s move on💜 I can not wait to see them debut!

NCT is one of the most popular groups in Korea and they have more foreign members than Korean members. In fact they have an entire subunit with people of Chinese ethnicity (so 0 Korean members) who sing in Chinese on Korean music shows. Similarly, Super Junior M (Chinese language subunit of Super Junior) was the most popular subunit when it was active, with Korean fans even following their activities in China. And there have been many other groups with people of different backgrounds with less Koreans (for example Secret Number's original lineup, only one Korean with 2 Americans a Japanese and an Indonesian). Not to mention survival programs/groups where they specifically sought idols of different races (Treasure Box, GP999, PD48, etc). The people who are hating on them for not being "Korean enough" should realize that this is nothing new.

For the first time I'm actually gonna agree with the netizens. Writing about femicide and abuse and performing with such passion while rapping this verse is really disturbing. It makes me wonder what he actually thinks about these matters...

I love how they are not all Korean! It makes it more unique, I can't wait to see them debut!

It is 2022. I congratulate HYBE for forming a group so diverse in cultures, backgrounds and nationalities. Just wait - this group has loads to offer. K-Pop does not have to just stay Korean. Change is good. These are good looking young men. I think they are interesting.

Don't forget that RM also thought he needed to gain social capital in the hip hop world by indexing Black people through his English dialect and dreads. And he thought it was good to "speak Black" as a talent. He's learned a lot since about how being real and true to himself is better than trying to be "authentic" Looks like Leo needs the same lesson. You don't need to overcompensate in rough language to portray masculinity. It's 2022.

Leo is 19 years old and a fluent english speaker. He's aware of what he wrote and even said that don't mind it. If a woman wrote a lyric that slanders men, they will get cancelled immediately. But if it is a man who wrote lyrics to slander women and didn't express any apologies or realizations at first, they will still given a chance. He just apologized because people called him out, you can't ensure if he's really sorry or what. I'll probably believe on it if at first he acknowledge his mistake instead of saying that "don't mind the lyrics because he was angry that time." Whether you are angry or not, if you know you did wrong, you should have acknowledge it. He could have included "Im sorry or I apologized because blah blah blah"

They look such a promising group with abundance of talents to show. I hope the everybody would give them a chance to grow and show what they got. As for Leo, he is young he can still be change, nurtured and taught. I do hope they get to debut.

At this point I am more concerned about the toxic backlash and straight up cancel culture than about Leo's rap. It's frightening how some k-pop stans don't give idols the chance of growing, reflecting and learning from past mistakes. Especially since we don’t know for sure what he meant by these lyrics, AND the „stop breathing“ lyrics were already in the original song, since this is just a cover. Music can be interpreted in so many ways, we don't even know if this song was written from his perspective. Like, that is the complexity of art. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, and we will see how he will grow as a person from this. Everyone deserves a second chance.

giving Leo a grand total of ONE chance. if he messes up again it's just gonna be too much. idols aren't just singers, their persona/personality is part of the package and if he doesn't improve im not stanning someone so misogynistic. Hopefully he’ll learn from this but yikes

The problem with these kind of misogyny controversies is that we don't know who these idols really are. Even if the person apologizes, there's no way of telling if they really mean it, there's no way we'll ever know if that person really changed the way they think or not. Sorry, but I don't trust.

I love the boys, I think they're amazing and have so much potential as a group. And as long as Leo learns from mistake, he should stay because we have all made mistakes in our life.

As a woman, if Leo ain't down with us...I'm not down with him. Idc about an apology that was probably written for him bye. Women deal with enough as it is.

I think everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. However Leo saying he just produced that rap according to his emotions then + wanted to add ‘a style’ into the music just doesn’t help 😅. This only reflects his anger issues and ill view towards women. Like, no matter how angry one is, I don’t think ranting “f*ck that ho* in my bank” and “that b*tches stop breathing” is something a normal-minded person does 😅 Considering he’s only 19 and already has this much anger and crudeness already… damn. I just can’t see him in the same light as others

his "rap" is beyond disturbing. He is 19, a man, and fluent in english and this is what he comes up when he is "angry". Stop defending him, its messed up.

People should not forget that BTS also wrote some controversial lyrics about women. However, they issued an apology and never did them again. We should take this apology and wait to see if they do it again. If they do it a second time, I would not stan them. He is also pretty young and people can change if they want to.

This is the first time I'm agreeing with Knets, they're absolutely right, he's 19 and this is what he's writing? there was no error of understanding of language, he possibly grew up in a very progressive environment too. No justification whatsoever, he doesn't deserve a second chance. On top of all this, y'all wouldn't have any sympathy for him had he been ugly. The fact that he's young and still has such violent thoughts is precisely why he shouldn't be given a second chance.

One of the only times I actually agree with canceling someone. Lyrics were disgusting. The apology was obviously written by a lawyer. Heard about this before and shocked he’s still debuting.

“I really think leo should debuted because everybody deserve a second chance and that song he made was a year ago and people didn’t know him or the members yet so they shouldn’t judge him so fast”://

Don’t forget about JJ who is an amazing dancer and participated in many dance shows and competitions. I think that the group as a whole should debut and I don’t say this as a pre-debut fan but, they’re all still very talented and no matter how big and terrible a scandal, they’ll still be talented. I wish luck to them and I hope they can stay out of trouble.

Let's support them they all are talented and yeah waiting for them to debut

The lyrics were disgusting. Like really disgusting. No I do not hate him but I do believe that he should not debut with Trainee A. This wasn't a mistake. Leo knew damn well what he was saying.

I feel bad for the other members who are getting hate cause of what Leo did. Before his scandal, they all had a bright future but now they're all being dragged down.

Some people act like they never did something wrong

Hybe did them dirty. They gave them a group name and a pre debut track and then just decided to pull the plug the last minute.

LOL wtf are these double standard comments? Leo is an english speaker. He knows what he was saying. He deserves the hate that he received. There is no such a thing that we should let this pass since he is “young”. He should be held accountable for what he did. Being young doesn’t let you have a pass to be problematic and misogynist. People in this comment section have double standards just because its’a a “Boy Group” lol. Y’all are so distusting.

Of course everyone deserves a second chance but once you cross the line you shouldn't expect forgiveness and that's why Leo still gets hates and that case isn't something that you can deny easily! I was OK with everything until he said "I was angry" learn them how to control their anger I'm not gonna stan

I understand that he made a mistake but that doesn't mean they should ruin his life I don't know these idols very well but I do know I would never do that to my idols for example straykids made a mistake once and We are all ok now why can't we do the same with idols that haven't even Debuted yet?

I really do think that they all are so much talented, handsome and good looking....I'll support them till the end of their career. They all are extremely very very talented and I've already started to following them in every social media. That's how i know them very well ☺️💜💜

Imagine bashing a group to disband because they dont look korean …

I'm not gonna throw hate on them but I won't support them either. Leo apologized but only because his problematic lyrics became a hot topic and went viral on Twitter. If it went unnoticed, then he probably would continue and his members didn't say anything either. The apology also wouldn't exist and saying it was because he was angry that he wrote the lyrics says a lot about his mindset.

His 19 and knew what he wrote there is no excuse...period. As for the rest of them I will support them.

Honestly, I dont really care about Leo's scandals all I know that he got the qualities to debut. But I agree, I think he should be more sensitive and cautious to whatever he will do and say in the future. I am so excited for their debut.

Despite all backlash and criticism and everything else, Leo was given a chance to still debut. I hope he will change, in the end there's still so many who believe him, trust him and wants him to prove himself. Hopefully this trust won't be wasted. He made a mistake and everything else were judged.The overcoming of this mistake is your own self journey, change must come from within you and not because you are pressured to. Just one chance.. Wishing he will make it worth it.

The only right way Leo could debut is if he gets counselling and learns that he cannot manifest his anger through violence against women, even as thoughts. Leo has revealed his extremely dangerous mindset and it needs to be proffessionally adressed as the fandom of whatever group he would debut in are entitled to know that the artist they are supporting has learned and changed from his extremely harmful actions and mindset. In addition to that, the fact that these mysoginistic lyrics, that by no mistake exhibit violence towards women, were passed through the production line speaks volumes about the company. All staff and artists in this production line are mysoginists and enablers for publishing these lyrics like its acceptable. The company's appology does nothing to show us that these staff are being re-evaluated and it shows that hybe does not have a safe environment for women much less for a girl group that will be managed with these mysoginistic and dissmisive policies.

I really don't get why the trainees being from different nationalities is a problem. Music has no boundaries and who said foreigners can't join kpop like is it only for "koreans". I think LEO was so talented that he needed a second chance sometimes these fans are so toxic they wouldn't want someone to prosper and i know he already learned from his mistakes, he should debut. I wish these trainees/idols would get to be their real selves and not live according to the standards their fans expect.

We all make mistakes and no one is perfect if he has apologized for his wrong I say give him the same grace we would expect when we error and do wrong. If a person is really sorry we will see it in the future as their career moves on. Why destroy anyones life over a mistake. Just because no one see our drift doesn’t give us the right to sit in judgement.

I don’t understand why Knetizens care so much about visuals rather than talent.

Oh and I find it funny how someone's age doesn't matter how problematic someone is now. When it's misogyny, it's unforgivable but if it's racism, then let's find every excuse.

lmao this is a rant. I feel like he should be held accountable for it but like it shouldn't ruin his career, I felt like he was genuine in his apology. and let's not forget that many idols have been known for these types of scandals predebut (RM, Keeho, Han etc...). this is not a new issue being faced in Kpop and as we have seen, these idols have become aware of what they did and changed it. i wouldn't make my mind up on him just yet. if he continues to speak derogatorily after debut then there should be consequences but until then we should all remember that stress can be a very powerful thing and if his statement was true then so be it. people in the community are so quick to hate on and bully others without giving the idols time to prove they've changed and reflected on the issue at hand. i will not and will never have my opinion on an idol or group set in stone, its dumb for those who automatically have their minds made up when the group haven't made more than like 10 vids. you barely know them and they are all still young. i will support him throughout his career until another issue like this pops up

Bro we to support them no matter how they look and what they do we have no right to judge them

As much as I want to be forgiving, I do think Leo's rap was extremely misogynistic and violent and I wish they just wouldn't debut him. I don't think he would have apologized if people didn't get upset and it's really not fair to the other members for the group's reputation to already be tarnished by his poor choices. Forgiveness is one thing, but it doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences for terrible actions. Apply this logic to any other workplace. He'd be fired. As a male idol, you will be around female fans, enough said.

While I think a second chance is probably due in this case, I have to admit that if I met a stranger and they said what he did in his rap, I wouldn’t want anything to do with them.

I know that a lof of people hate him but im kinda disgusted with the comments section. I dont approve of wat he did but yall r acting like saints. Yall r also aasuming u know him personally that he does "violence". Heck one of these commenters could be one of my kpop friends for all i care & leo would look like a saint next to em. Yall act like yalls idols havent had any scandals. I hav kpop friends who sexualize idols & all he did was right a song that some of the lyrics werent even his but from the original song. Again i am not saying he was in the wrong im just disgusted by yalls hypocrisy. Yall could be watching porn, backstabbing friends, singing songs w/ disgusting lyrics, stealing from someone, cheating.. Be glad ur not celebs smh (i will not b stanning them but i dont like how this has gone too far. Yall taking this too far 😕) I hope when u make mistakes in ur life the people around u wont giv u a 2nd chance just like how yall r so close minded about Leo's. Hes freakin 19 i know hes an adult but hes still got tons of yrs left. Dont destroy it by acting like yall have not sinned.

I'm happy that there's a lot of support going into this group but it's sad they're hated

It's good HYBE doesn't consider Knetizens opinions because if they did we wouldn't have some amazing idols. Knetizens are freaking EXTRA.

Bighit will never let Leo go cuz he is the producer along with Woo-chan and they need tht to make the group successful like in the vlogs the two of them work on songs for the group

Writing lyrics that slander women or anyone in general is just disgusting, and the fact that he's in his early 20s is just upsetting, and anger is no excuse for that...

Well y'all can give a 2nd chance to them I hope they won't disappoint people again.

"I agree with the fact the words in his song were contrioversial" 5:55 Dam girl. They arent controversial - THEY ARE SEXIST, unrespecrful, hurtfull, hatefull and honestly concenrning. As a woman, demanding respect from people like him is a hard work. Sexists comments, "undangerous" texts, cat calling. "Its just a small game", "dont get mad - youre overreacting". Im sick of that and gladly im not the only one. He wrote that text in this present time, not in the past as a stupid teenager who saw bdsm porn for the first time. Debuting a person like him will only make more problems - if he cannot behave well as an adult trainee, imagine what would happen if the guy will get famous and start feeling more reckless. Nevertheless its hybes decision to debut him. I just hope no more women nor any other person will be disrespected/hated/molested by him

I like that they are diverse. However Leo does need to go. There is no excuse for writing lyrics like that. Even though he is young, it still doesn’t excuse that sort of mindset. It is dangerous.

you forgot to mention jay jay who is one of the most prodigious dancers in japan literally one of the best dancers that the fourth generation of kpop will have

the amount of misinformation people have spreaded about leo and the lyrics are just over the top. it was wrong that Leo chose the song to modify since it contains bad words, but it's not right to invent things and misrepresent them to make him look bad.

I don't think Leo should be cancelled but tbh I don't think he should debut. Those lyrics were pretty messed up and what's worst he speaks english so he knows very well what he was saying.

I love to see diverse groups like that, it’s so nice to naturally discover new stuff about cultures trough a group a people that you like idk it’s just really cool

The one thing I hate the most about K-Pop fans is the entitlement and judgement. People are too quick to cancel, mock, joke and threaten someone for one mistake by jumping on a bandwagon full of clowns that call idols or groups “problematic” for something that a member did but never intended on doing and without knowing all the context first.. do you have any brain cells left?? Btw Leo gave a proper apology (2 actually) which if any of you even read it you would remember that it said: “I had absolutely no intention for to offend or degrade anyone, but my words and thought were very immature and I deeply apologize.” (there’s even more) and that STILL isn’t enough for you? Since when did we beg for an idol/company to apologize for something wrong and then take our word back out of some stupid thing like pride or jealousy?? We all wanted an apology, we got it, and you’re (antis) still obsessed with Leo and pushing him out of the lineup, even after the managers & Leo’s statements/apologies as well as Leo publicly apologizing to fans at their busking event? he promised to do everything it takes to reflect and learn from it and I believe him and I will support him. FYI You’re not perfect, you’ve done stupid 💩 more than once, so it’s not your place to judge. Leo will debut with Trainee A and I hope the bullies who think it’s okay to judge, threaten and spread lies to other people about Leo learn to grow up and start acting like a decent human being. Because Leo is one too. ✌️

im already not sm a fan of leo which is unfortunate since its def affected my first impression of the group. mistakes happen i get that, but only through his future actions will we see if hes changed or not, its too soon to say rlly. regardless, im still really excited to see members like yongsin and jj's debut! im rooting for all of them and wish them luck^^

okay i'm always open to giving 2nd chances but, what leo did is is the kind of thing that i would count as 1.75 chances by itself, istg he is walking a fine line in my mind. but if he improves as time goes i'll be a little less critical, not that my opinion matters but its just what i think.

“we all make mistakes” rapping about raping and murdering women IS NOT a mistake. he does not deserve a second chance.

Honestly I think after all the fire be went under he definitely learned his lesson. This is his dream and I don’t because he messed up once he deserves to have his dream crushed in front of him. I’m not for misogyny and stuff obviously but that’s just my opinion

Support them all the way they will be one of the biggest kpop boyband in the world. So watch out one of my fav kpop group is coming...💜💜💜

Because one of their members decided to be so misogynistic like just say you hate women and go 🙄

Honestly, I’m so sick of it that women get called the worst things, we speak up or say something and then get called crazy or let it slide/ignore it afterwards. This is actually the worst we could do! How are our own actions, when we let it slide, in anyway better then the males that call us such things? And no, I don’t say that the members should get hate for something they didn’t do. But to say, he deserves an other chance afterwards doesn’t sit right with me, when its always easier to say sorry afterwards then doing the right thing before.

I understand if people wouldn’t Stan them but doesn’t mean you can start hating them they are all handsome and talented love them all so much and I Stan them

tbh you can’t boycott a group you never planned on stanning lol

As soon as you said “they are very diverse!” I went “oh no, here we go with Knetizens not wanting them to be part of the group”

About their visuals....I think they are really handsome , they literally pull me back to my straight origin after Seulgi made me questioned myself 😬 . C'mon I want me some unique looking Visuals in Kpop because you know I really have a hard time knowing who is the official visual in any gen group , because they are all beautiful but they follow similar face qualities , SO I THINK they are fresh

"All deserve chance to learn" agree

I will def stan this group when they debut.

I don’t look forward to their debut nor do I want to even associate myself with this group. It’s really sad to see how one member messed it up for the others. But overall just don’t send hate to them, everyone makes mistakes but for me personally I can’t really look at them the same again.Some people may accept there apology and move on but other won’t so no need to go fighting one another. If you don’t like them then don’t interact with them or send hate it’s not gonna do anything.

The most kpop group who became succesful is there is something new to the group that is not yet seen in other groups. So I think they will be amazing, new faces and fresh new faces.

Here after their disbandment 💔

I hope people who caused their breakdown will never het a good sleep

Cant wait for Trainee A's debut, waiting since yr for it💜💜

I would 100% love to see a netizen do anything these guys have been doing for the last month (i.e. following strict rules, practicing all day and night, hardly being able to eat due to practice, etc.) And then get bashed on the internet for their *looks*, then we'll see how they feel.

I hope the group artist just ignore any negative comments from the public. You can't please everyone.

Bruh… I can’t believe people are hating them for their nationality 🗿 I thought it was cool they had so many nationalities in 1 group! 😩💕 People are sick and all B^LLSHIT! They should all just rot in a hole bc they are jealous of these talented and amazing young guys! And I do think Leo should get another chance bc we ALL know we all did something bad in our life time and no one is perfect!

I really miss the times when idol groups weren't perfect. Groups that are debuting now feels too perfect, idols are carefully chosen porcelain dolls and groups are made to reach bigger audiences to get more money for pigs waiting at the company

First of all, I'm happy that JJ is in the group. Secondly I am angry that netzens have nothing better to do than hate on idols!

I don't care what people outside say or hate,,,,,I like trainee A to debut,,,,everytime people will hate it if they think a little about them,,they don't see their skills,and their hard work so far, ,,, so well never mind, just ignore the haters!!!!! Let's just hear that those who love and love them, that's all, A fighting trainees are okay ...... wait, after all I'm not only trainee A who has different countries, there are many other idols who are the same in various other agencies,, WHY trainees W??!!!!!!

I think they all should debute even tho with what happened with Leo cause people learn from there mistakes but that doesn't mean that now just because of a mistake he shouldn't debute he should go on with his life do what he's doing and learn from it...like in the video we all have made a mistake and done something we should have but I would want people to think that I'm still the same I was before or people looking down on me because of it cause I have learned from it. My English is not perfect so there could be something wrongly written.

I'm all for giving Leo another chance because how often has society given those, who are much older than he was at the time, a second chance when they make a mistake. Some people learn to not do something when they are told to not do it and other people need to experience the consequences of mistake to not do it again. Now, going forward, the fans will have eagle eyes on him and hopefully he will remember that one step out of line can cost him or his team their future.

its very obvious if you see their productions they are VERY HEAVILY interested in mainstream american rap music, which many times reproduces the messages leo put forward in that song, hopefully they learn to discern better but tbh i don't have much hope

I’m guessing most ppl in the comments have only heard the chorus and not the full song and the original song.

what u said abt people not caring / forgetting after they debuted is absolutely right . n abt the whole ' there arent no korean members' thing , people just gotta chill , but i am not korean so i have no idea hoe people who are korean wqill feel . i feel happy to see so much diversity. ofc its kpop but the big companies dont care , whatever gets their group success , and seeing their talent i am sure they will do very well . no they are literally kids , teens to be exact , like tf r people saying ' oh look their ugly , those visuals.... ' uhm miss girl u look like a damn toad , cool yuh self , u hah no reason to say that , look at yuhself first nah . tbh once ik more abt them id stan

i can see that they're all very talented and im personally hyped for their debut! i just hope LEO doesn't make the same mistake (if he does, then yikes 😬)

honestly i only am rlly excited for jj and woochan, i watched show me the money when he competed, we were both 12 at the time and i’ve been following him and his content/music ever since so when i found out he’ll be debuting in an idol group i’m both excited and hoping he gets to write his own raps. jj is a year younger than me and i’ve also been following him since he was still in the jgroup and his dance competitions. as much as i like those two the most, i rlly hope the debut is proper w no extra controversies like line distribution or screentime, that’ll decrease their reputation even more now

Jeeez people nowadays just love to hate for no reason, y'all just bitter, he's barely even 20 and everyone's calling him out for a mistake he's apologized for, being an idol doesn't mean they ain't tweens tryna figure out shit and they allowed to make mistakes,lots of idols mature enough have made way more worse mistakes so give them a break,seems like everyone is just looking for a reason to hate them, sorry for saying this but netizens can be so damn toxic I don't know how they don't see it

This is my first time I got heavily inspired by any group, maybe it's because we're of the same age,and they are doing a lot great than me so I want to do much better than before

and what is up with this “canceling careers..” mistakes happen and in order to improve you need to learn, yall ain’t giving tA a chance either. i’m 100% sure some people arguing about this could have done many mistakes but bcs their faces aren’t on social media they don’t get “canceled” they worked hard for years and make mistakes to learn from them only to have someone “cancel their career” tf is that

I’m so excited for their debute sorry if I spelled it wrong but I can’t wait!!!😊

2022 is almost ending, when will we see debut teasers??

It use to happen to txt.people angry at bighit for debut new group but after txt debut they had been love by kcitizens and international fan

1:05 sorry but this photo is so wrong its showing left members not woochan and yorch

Um.. I am really disappointed in Leo right here.. I don't even know if I will be able to give him a second chance.. What he did was WRONG (literally opposing the moto of bighit as a whole MUSIC AND ARTISTS FOR HEALING). But on the positive side I love the hard work the team as a whole put in the performances..

Whatever happens i am gonna support them 👏 화이팅 ☺️

guys chill he is only 19 year old, we also make mistakes without thinking. he deservers a chance
