Cha Seungwon Discusses the Controversy Surrounding Le Sserafim

Cha Seungwon believes that if one lacks ability, they should have passion. If passion is lacking, one should be humble, and if humility is not possible, then one must be perceptive. This is the main issue at hand. While some may argue that certain antis are causing controversy, the focus should be on the attitude of the group. Making a mistake once or twice is understandable, but when multiple members of Le Sserafim repeatedly make mistakes or display poor attitudes, it becomes a concerning pattern. Unfortunately, praising this group can lead to accusations of bashing from Fearnot fans, resulting in aggressive reactions. As a result, the public’s favor towards this group is decreasing.

When popular groups like NMIXX and BaeMon receive praise for their live performances, fans of Fearnot also demand recognition for their idols, even if their singing is minimal. While Le Sserafim does sing, it is not particularly impressive and can be considered just noise. However, fans still insist on praise. This is similar to a basketball player catching the ball and making it bounce, but ultimately, scoring points is what truly counts. Similarly, a chef should not be praised simply for holding a knife, but rather for the quality of the food they prepare. This is not baseless criticism, but rather a reflection of public opinion.

Despite having a large fan base and being signed with HYBE, Le Sserafim’s fans often complain loudly. However, it seems that the public is not as invested in the group as Fearnot fans may believe. While famous singers and actors often face negative comments, it appears that Le Sserafim’s fans act as if the whole world is against them, lacking a sense of reality. It should be noted that facing haters is a common occurrence, and while it may not be ideal, it is the reality.

Additionally, even if the singer is not well-liked, people will still choose to stream music that is of good quality. However, the most recent title track is not receiving positive reviews. The use of AR and loud electronic sounds in a performance that is advertised as live has caused backlash. Criticisms such as “This song is just ‘ddanddarara’”are dismissed as unreasonable bashing, while comments like “This song is not as good as the previous one”are met with criticism from fans. Some suggest that the group should have chosen an easier song due to previous live singing issues, but fans argue that the song was composed long ago.

It is not critical for a song to be composed at a specific time. Songs can still be altered before they are released. As a large company, HYBE surely has access to quality music. Even if a song was written a long time ago, it should still be able to compete. There must be a valid reason for selecting it as the title track. Despite their fans claiming that the group has been practicing live singing extensively and exhibiting maturity, three out of five members still struggle.

While fans may argue that this is unfair criticism, it is a reflection of the general public’s sentiment. Despite this, it is unlikely that fans will heed this perspective.

[+281, -20] The fandom of this group is really something. Just reading the comments below shows that. Even in such a post, they still bring up Blackpink. Even when they should stay silent, they keep dragging other groups into it, which is why public opinion can’t be swayed…
[+230, -13] This is a typical behavior of Le Sserafim fans. They tend to involve other idols in their problems without caution. What sets them apart is their tendency to harshly criticize other groups while fiercely defending their own idols. It is no surprise that this group has a negative public image, but their fans seem oblivious to it.
[+219, -14] While it is important for members to be open to criticism, it appears that the company treats them like princesses. Despite the presence of individual haters, Le Sserafim should still be receptive to criticism and take steps to address any issues. However, it seems that the company views any criticism as unjustified bashing.
[+175, -10] This is precisely how Le Sserafim acts.
[+135, -9] Speaking the truth loudly.
