The inclusion of younger members, especially maknae SeoAh, has also sparked criticism and raised concerns about the possible pressures placed on such a large group, especially considering their young ages.
Voices of the Community: Fans Speak Out
Some netizens express a combination of enthusiasm and worry, with a few expressing worries about the welfare of the members and the long-term viability of tripleS’s distinctive approach.
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME RESPONSES FROM NETIZENS:
“Why is Jiwoo ranked so low?ㅠㅠ I thought Jiwoo was really in the top tier. I can’t understand why someone with no skills is ranked first.”
“How can popularity be considered a skill..”
“What skill is popularity? It’s clearly different.”
“Did you bribe them or something..””I guess there’s nothing we can do about it..”
As the ASSEMBLE24 countdown continues, tripleS is faced with a dilemma, trying to strike a balance between pushing for innovation while also prioritizing the well-being of its members.
The K-Pop fan base eagerly anticipates the group’s next move, curious about how this pioneering group will handle the challenges of fame and fan culture in an ever-changing industry.
