This is one of the stupidest decisions a kpop company has ever made. Debuting two girl groups means effectively dividing the part of the fanbase that consists of company stans into two. One of the groups won't reach its potential peak as a result.
What's even more stupid is how young these girls are, like what's the rush?
Another thing is, the Garam scandal is still in the air and I personally suspect the reason they suddenly cut her off 3 days before Newjeans content started coming out is not a coincidence. They basically threw not just Garam but entire Lesserafim under bus for this girl group. Absolute stupidity.
