As they tour, the members have continually taken to Twitter to express their gratitude for their fans’ support.

But as enjoyable as TRI.BE’s performances during their concert have been, one clip from their concert in Orlando, their first stop on tour, sparked outrage from fans as Kelly expressed her gratitude for fans showing up to support them.
[#켈리🦥]
Can’t believe that so many of you guys came today!!
I really had a good time and I’m sure you guys did too~~#트라이비 #TRI_BE #Kelly pic.twitter.com/NvE7lrUg1n— 트라이비 (TRI.BE) (@tribedaloca) June 7, 2023
In fact, Kelly mentioned that before they performed, “Someone told us no one is coming.”
Fortunately, the fans proved that someone wrong by showing up and screaming their enthusiastic support for TRI.BE. And the group expressed their immense gratitude that fans attended the concert.
But fans were still understandably upset that the hardworking members of TRI.BE had been told that no one would come to their performances despite how diligently they had prepared.
omg who told that to my girls…🥲 https://t.co/ZsfRrWqTa5

One netizen even pointed out that while they weren’t previously knowledgeable about TRI.BE, this comment only makes them want to support the group.
And fans of TRI.BE are at least glad that the fans were able to prove the “hater” wrong.
I said the same thing. It’s so unfortunate how some people get a kick out of bringing others down. Glad we showed up and showed them love and proved the haters wrong!
