K-netizens Discuss if LE SSERAFIM Can be “Saved” ahead of Comeback?

At late night on August 4, a topic titled “Is LE SSERAFIM’s image really irreversible?” was published on the Korean forum “Pann Nate”, drawing attention with over 43,000 views. 

In the topic, the author mentioned LE SSERAFIM’s various controversies, including their Coachella live-singing issue, their “arrogant” response to criticism, and the recent attempt at drawing sympathy via their documentary. 

Finally, the question of whether LE SSERAFIM can salvage their public image ahead of their comeback is posed, garnering mixed reactions. 

Below are some comments from netizens:

• They are doing too much at a time when they should have laid low, so their image is now at rock bottom…
• If they want to save their image, fans should stop making annoying remarks, and they need to come back with significantly improved skill… Finally, the company needs to stop fighting with the public. It’s possible but extremely difficult 
• If they want to recover, they have to prove their skills through hard work. That’s the only way, especially Sakura.
• Their image could have been saved had the company not released that ridiculous documentary. Now people just find them annoying. 
• The idols who are doing well now have all had crises like this, especially female idols… aespa and IVE were criticized too, and their image are now restored with improved skills
