Hotly-Anticipated Girl Group Hit With Scathing Criticism For Lack Of Relevance In K-Pop

When MEOVV debuted, there was so much hype surrounding the group, but a recent post about the group’s relevance has led to scathing criticism towards the members.

MEOVV recently had a comeback with “DDI RO RI.”

Yet, following the release of the song, a post sparked attention as the OP asked, “How did MEOVV become so ignored…?” sharing, “As expected, being ignored is scarier than getting hate comments.”

It led to a series of brutal comments towards the girl group. Some explained the lack of appeal of the members, others pointed out that their lack of idol activities compared to other appearances has hindered their impact, and others pointed to issues with their music and technicalities that have been present since their debut.

• “None of the members are particularly charming or appealing.”
• “They don’t really provide any content for people to consume as idols. They just go to fashion events all the time. They feel more like influencers than idols.”
• “They seem like people who would do perfectly fine even if I didn’t pay attention to them, so I don’t feel any desire to support or spend money on them.”
• “The whole mysterious, secretive image is way too much in this era. At this rate, I think they’ll just fade into obscurity.”
• “Since they’re basically from the same root but under two different companies, their image overlaps with BABYMONSTER’s. The two groups end up accelerating each other’s image fatigue. They’re rookies, but they don’t feel fresh or intriguing. BABYMONSTER at least performs well on stage, so they’re doing relatively okay overseas.”

• “The only thing you ever hear about this idol group is them going to fashion shows… Their music is kind of mediocre too. Even groups like ALLDAY PROJECT get criticized for constantly attending fashion events despite having at least one big hit, so…”
• “It’s a complete mess overall. First of all, they needed to blow up when they debuted, but at this point, I think they’re beyond saving. I think the biggest issue is the members themselves. There’s no chemistry between them, no shared narrative or story, no entertainer instincts, no variety-show skills, there’s just nothing for fans to get invested in. Even the viral attention around Anna’s visuals was something created through plastic surgery. People compared her to [IVE] Wonyoung, [aespa] Karina, and [NMIXX] Sullyoon, but those idols have looks, talent, and popularity. The company will probably just neglect them and debut another junior group. Honestly, each member would probably be better off focusing on their own path.”
• “It’s Teddy. What else did you expect?”
