Online Reactions
Fans praised LE SSERAFIM’s growing popularity in Japan, sharing that live cheers at the venue surpassed what was broadcast. However, online Korean communities showed mixed reactions. Some anti-fans, many aligned with other groups, downplayed their achievements by claiming fan chants were quieter than expected. These comments often stemmed from animosity toward HYBE, their agency. Supporters countered, defending the group and criticizing unnecessary negativity. Increasingly, fans in these spaces are challenging such anti-fan rhetoric, showing stronger solidarity.
