Kpop stans are funny when it comes to debuts (strong case of cognitive bias that always lead to recency bias)

Quote from DoReMii

I agree lol O.O literally made news for how terrible it is

And considering nmixx peaked with their debut it hasn’t been better since

Heck aespa flopped with their debut but you’ll find their annoying fans saying shit as if their favs debut wasn’t a even worse try at girl crush LOOL

yeah I know like objectively O.O is bad

to be fair it's only one person lol they are literally saying the same in every thread about them lol they had their whole write up about the song ready before the mv dropped

some kpop stans...

the silent majority is often drowned out by the vocal minority!!!

Yup, they all said Attention was boring but I 💗 it from the get-go.

The other songs you've mentioned, 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Attention and Eleven were widely acclaimed though. Dalla dalla was decent, most liked it amid the rising of girl crush wave brought by BP

Fearless was said to be underwhelming but it eventually grew on many.

O.O remains polarizing till this day.

a lot of title tracks are bad, let me see a mini album anyway so we can get a feel for what they’re about

I think kpop fans in general are consistent with O.O still a horrible debut/song and Attention being good.

I don't think it's right to automatically blanket judge all critical and negative comments as all K-pop stans being biased or prejudiced.

Sometimes people simply like or dislike a song or MV, nothing more to it.

However, since K-pop fans are humans too, all the usual human psychological and emotional mechanics work in K-pop situations too:

If people like a certain style or previous groups of the debuting group's company, they will look more positively and favorably towards the debut of that new group (or negatively, when they dislike the company or sibling groups of the debuting group). What I'd call 'the Apple effect'.

And then there's expectation management and 1st impression vs follow-up impressions: sometimes a song sounds disappointing or just ok at the first listen - only to really start to shine when seen/heard at performances or after a few listens.
