[+163, -6] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They were so quick to make posts as if they didn’t care about the public’s opinion during Coachella and now they’re quick to squeeze out those tears

[+82, -3] I’m a supporter of Le Sserafim, and I think the decision for this documentary was really thoughtless. All they had to do was show improvement with their live singing for the public to accept them again, but showing clips of them crying in their current situation is basically just pouring gas on the fire.

[+66, -3] Eh, but why are they crying? ㅜ They drummed up all that hype off of being BTS labelmates only to show devastating live skills every time.. yeah, we want to cry too having to listen to that ㅠㅠㅠ Chaewon’s vocals don’t even seem that bad but she’s being buried under all the worse members in the group.. there’s just no synergy there ㅠ

[+37, -1] They need to just stick to showing hard results. Put on an impressive stage. They have all the support and money in the world, the only thing holding them back are their own skills. They really need to show some improvement their next comeback. Coming out with a documentary only now with all these tears just seems like an obvious ploy for sympathy.

[+11, -47] Aigoo… at least they’re getting vocal training and stuff.. I thought they weren’t doing anything at all…. fighting…

– [+12, -0] It would’ve been better if they had done all these vocal trainings in private and put on an improved image on stage but instead they came out with the training clips first, which is turning the public away.. Hybe just doesn’t know how to do their job. Constantly feels like BTS’s fame catapulted a company that had no business being at the top to the top..

– [+3, -1] Since when is a singer judged off effort and not skill?… A singer should be judged off of their skills, not much “effort” they put into it

[+10, -0] No one wants to see them crying to garner sympathy, they want them to use the criticism as fuel to improve and train harder

[+9, -0] Sorry but they were done for after Coachella ㅋㅋ and to think that it was a voluntary choice by their agency and Le Sserafim ㅋㅋㅋ

[+6, -0] You don’t think all of the top idols have it tough? You don’t think Jang Wonyoung or Jennie would have obstacles of their own to cry about? They chose a job where every single pore on your body is observed and obsessed over, what idol out there isn’t on the verge of tears right now? Why do they think their tears are any different? Hybe is such an odd company.. If Lee Soo Man was their CEO, would he have chosen to take clips of them crying? No, he would send them to the training room. Would Yang Hyun Suk? Would Park Jin Young? Hybe seems like they have zero care at all for the outcome of their own groups. If your kids have crappy skills, your instinct should be to train them, but instead they’re shoving a camera in their faces like look!! they’re crying!!! look at this!!! It’s so bizarre and weird…

[+5, -0] Every time this group opens their mouth, it’s minus

[+3, -0] Tears meant to cover up skills they never had. Reminds me of little kids who think crying will fix everything. They need to realize they are adults on a professional stage.

[+2, -0] Hybe is such a problem
