Netizens pointed out the problem that caused ITZY to not have good results recently

Chaeryong is gorgeous but I agree she doesn't fit Itzy's image and concept. There's some incoherence in vibe and persona between Ryujin, Yuna, Yeji on one side and Lia and Chaeryeong on the other. However, I don't think that's the reason Itzy seems to be underperforming in korea. It's quite unfair to blame all on the girl, and besides, she has always been there even when the group was doing better.

maybe itzy should make a subunit of yeji yuna ryujin and they will snatch their hotspot back

Quote from Minlix15

Itzy’s fans are mostly girls what are you saying

It’s literally all fangirls. Itzy barely have male fans

Ohhh... Ummm...

wth are they talking about!! ITZY music is getting much better. Wannabe was great. Mafia in the morning is a smash hit. No offence to Dalla Dalla stans but it was musically basic and mediocre. Even the b-sides are getting better, but oh let's blame it on Chaeryeong visual because they don't like her. All their rotten brains care about is looks...
