LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura Tearfully Regrets Becoming An Idol — HYBE Slammed By Netizens
In the post, the author continues to mock the idol for claiming she is afraid of singing due to backlash from the group’s less-than-impressive live skills.
How can a singer be afraid to sing? That’s like a police officer saying they are afraid to shoot a gun, a chef who is afraid of restaurants, a writer who is afraid of writing. This seriously makes me laugh.
— Netizen
Netizens reacted to the post, with many agreeing with the author. Many criticized Sakura for essentially complaining about being scrutinized for her singing.
- “She’s so hopeless that I am speechless… I think she’ll be saying the same thing 10 years from now.”
- “What was HYBE thinking when they debuted someone like her? Is it right that they debuted someone who is so bad at singing that she’s become afraid of it? If a singer isn’t able to continue singing, they should quit. Why is she continuing? Still, they send her to Coachella. I guess HYBE thought audiences were stupid.”
- “She’d have more confidence if she could sing better. So practice. What does she wants us to do about it?”
- “Did they debut her because HYBE didn’t have anyone prettier and who sang better? I seriously don’t understand. She’s pretty but it isn’t like she’s a top 5 visual and it isn’t like she dances or raps very well either. I’m just genuinely curious. HYBE has to spend a lot of money and time to debut an idol, so why did they debut someone like her instead of someone better?”
- “Sigh, what are we supposed to do if she’s scared? If you’re that scared, then just give up.”
