Never saw a Group so big, so unproblematic, yet so discredited at the same time… and that in all ways possible.
Their company is giving the bare minimum, sometimes it even feels like they don’t know what to do with them. Yet their mismanagement is claimed to be the reason of their success (let it make sense)
Their achievements are belittled to media play and payola, because so many can’t believe they really that popular, so there must be some shady manipulation going on.
People intentionally wanna leave them out in discussions about big Kpop Groups.
Sometimes because mentioning them along side others is seen as an insult… while it’s ok if other Groups are mentioned.
They get slut-shamed and their talent downplayed. They treated like a mid-tier Group by many. Some even use their mismanagement as shade
Some people hate YG so much, that they leave out their dislike on them (since they are their biggest Act at the moment)… so much that they would rather eat dirt than to admit their impact.
They broke decades old records and people still be like “well if they really that big, they would have won a Daesang” yada yada yada
And if Blinks point this out, people start to gaslight them and act as if they got no rational reason to be upset.
And dare anyone comes here to make it about their faves or start a whataboutism… you’re gladly asked to leave the Thread thank you!!!
