Despite the exciting news, international fans have been calling for fans to boycott the new lineup. This is mostly done out of loyalty for the original lineup, as well as with a strong belief that the original lineup was mistreated by the company.
🚨 | Please do NOT support this new lineup, the company abused the former members of the group and the ceo is a creep! https://t.co/WedmKYgUnw pic.twitter.com/VoquSc3Iq1

Fans cite several reasons for the boycott, including how Aran was allegedly delayed treatment and surgery due to promotions. The members also allegedly faced dangers of extreme diets and mental duress.

Chanelle, once a fan-favorite from survival show R U NEXT? has also come under fire. It was rumored that she would be a part of the new lineup. Fans have already spotted a girl that seems to be her in the teaser video.

For those who have not yet caught up on the past drama, the members originally sued their company on various grounds. Later, they were counter-sued, with only Keena choosing to retract her statement and lawsuit, joining the company again. You can read more about it below.
