That's what I think.
Before calling this "forced hate," ask yourself honestly: if Moon Seoyoon wasn't actually from a chaebol family,
1. would it have been possible for her to do idol trainee life remotely from New York?
2. would debut even have been possible in the first place?
I want people to look at this coldly by comparing her background, including visuals, with the training and circumstances other trainees endured.
Someone like Kazuha, who majored in ballet, is the level where it makes sense to scout and bring in as a remote trainee. Honestly, among idols, who actually becomes an idol after doing trainee life remotely?
I'm not a Kazuha fan, I'm just talking about the qualifications required to even be considered for remote trainee status. If you don't have a very clear, standout strength in vocals or dance, being allowed to train remotely in such a harsh system is a privilege.
Even if you say she came in during vacations and trained intensely, most idols drop out of high school, or like Bangtan Jin even dropped out of university, basically grinding their entire lives down to earn the right to debut.
But what about Annie?
No matter how you look at it, her dancing is Jisoo-style stiff. The awkwardness, the visuals too and honestly, if Annie weren't from a chaebol family, how on earth would trainee life have even been possible, let alone debut?
To me, it looks like Teddy is using this opportunity to secure connections with a chaebol family and to try something he's personally wanted to do, using Annie as the vehicle.
Additional edit >>>
1. Youngseo - ranked 1st on a survival show
2. Bailey - called a genius choreographer since her teens
3. Woochan - showed sincerity toward rap since Show Me the Money, stayed on one path as a musician
4. Tarzzan - a star-level talent in modern dance, winner of major competitions, with a mysterious and beautiful face, plus a modeling career
5. Annie - chaebol. Accepted to Columbia University... => what does that have to do with being an idol or singer???
Members 1–4 all invested most of their teenage years into music or dance.
But Annie, from the start, is someone whose background is completely unrelated to music or dance, Columbia University admission, chaebol status, viral marketing.
Just go look at her dancing on stage.

But it's because they have Annie that they are this popular
2. [+132, -14]
Anyways, she only has one semester left so wouldn't it be funnier if she gave up now?
3. [+121, -18]
But being a chaebol is the biggest merit so why would you say that?
4. [+87, -16]
But Kazuha is not all that...?
5. [+84, -12]
But if not for her background, she wouldn't be able to debutㅋㅋ Her face and skills aren't outstanding and at her age? She would be considered "old" even participating in an idol survival show
