Responding to this question, some netizens seem to also question LE SSERAFIM’s popularity in Japan. However, many defend the girl group, saying that people are just trying to attack the girl group for no reason at all.

Below are some comments from netizens: 

  • The group has 2 Japanese members, one of whom already popular beforehand, so of course they are popular in Japan. Tokyo Dome is likely just a matter of timing 
  • NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, and aespa are all popular in Japan, I don’t see the need to question their popularity just become of Tokyo Dome
  • Don’t venues like Tokyo Dome require booking in advance? Maybe it’s just a matter of timing 
  • No matter how much I think about it, it is weird. If LE SSERAFIM is truly that popularity, their greedy agency would attempt Tokyo Dome as soon as possible 
  • Hmm, maybe LE SSERAFIM is more popular with the Japanese public and has a smaller fandom? BoA was popular in Japan but never entered Tokyo Dome too because she was more popular with the public
