Do you think HYBE was responsible for Karina’s predebut scandal that got her a lot of hate?

Quote from frala19

But we don't even have to look that deep. Does anyone remember that article that came out just recently, that claimed the public was apparently tired of "cyberpunk/superpowers/iron taste music", and that's why the music that "reminds us of youth" were rising, when literally the only relevant group that could be described the first way is aespa, not to mention the latter concept was and is way more prevelant

Yeah and the only non Hybe mention in the article was Qwer

And guess who was coming back around the same time than aespa, seventeen and Illit

Seventeen drop their collab with khalid 1 week before aespa cb

And illit cameback the same day than aespa

And guess who this article presented as the groups bringing a new air in kpop in contrary of the old fashion cyberpunk/superpower/iron taste music that everybody is supposedly doing currently ?

Yeah you guess it right seventeen and illit
