The reason why Fearless is climb on the chart is because of Kim Garem bully case.

Bad publicity is still publicity.

Most people don't jump the gun on Kim Garem than you thought in Korea. Don't trust those translate site that only translate negative comments.

HYBE is really smart on this. They use Kim Garem case to bring more recognition to the group. If Garem ended up being innocent, her controversy brought many recognition to the group and she can stay in the group. However, if Garem ended up being guilty, they could easily kick her out the group and people will start stanning the group when the bully is gone with the recognition that Garem bring in.

Smart but trashy. Making their artists (especially underaged ones) going through the witch-hunt, sexual harassment and cyber bullying just for some recognition when they are already doing pretty well? That sounds as believable as the conspiracy about SM not giving Aespa bodyguards for pity marketing.

lol no it should be the opposite.
