The hate Aespa is getting comes from all sides,, is BAAAADDDD. Mainly because Blinks like to think they are the better Coachella. But also SM used that to purposely annoy Blinks, with their post about being the "fist kpop group"...We know, they were talking about the main stage. But they use it to refrase the history to put BlackPink behind Aespa. Cos any meddia play is good as long as they are talking.
And SM loooooves their idols playing victims, even Super junior got really annoyed with that and called themsleves up for promoting through sad stories. But SM thinks is great.
Now Aespa has a real (and by real i mean REAL) reason to be on the victim side. But the one who set it up was SM, and Blinks fell for it....or maybe they were very happy to oblige
