ASTRO got scolded in music shows when they debuted with hide&seek - for not looking at the cameras while performing & for using earphones instead of using in-ears in their first stages.

but LOOK AT THEM NOW SLAYING EVERY STAGE. THEY'VE ACHIEVED A LOT COMING FROM A SMALL COMPANY

Mj got praised a lot by mentors in MBC Favorite Ent. for his camera plays. Eunwoo stands out wherever he goes. When you look at the covers Jinjin, Moonbin, Sanha did with other idols, they shined among other idols. Rocky owned the judges in dance war.

A staff even said this: "They are 5-yr old idols now but they still practice with their mics on & with great energy before performing unlike other idols". They didn't get enough support from their company but they work very hard in every project and I think that's amazing
