rumoured to debut to cover the ongoing scandals

-speculated to have debuted a year before to cover the ongoing scandals from the other groups

-this inevitably led to the immense backlash that Yeri received for joining the group last

-Kim Yerim was actually a decided member of the group however due to being young AS WELL AS under trained she couldn’t debut with the group

-she was added the next year along with Happiness debut which led to serious backlash from fans that were habituated to a group of 4

-the happiness MV also received tremendous amount of hate due to the anti jap*aneae imagery

-sm ent. (no surprise) sat by and didn’t do anything to handle the hate

-along with zero promo for yeris appearance for the trolls

-their concerts were held in places having 3k-5k seat

— lastly sm is sh*t as* company that doesn’t do ANYTHING against the hate that their idols get, the constant bulIying, didn’t do anything for the Jongdae antis (ever after they appeared right outside their building) BUT has concerns over the illegal streaming of online concerts

not to forget the insane saseangs or antis everywhere-
