i-dle’s Soyeon Hit With Wave Of Extreme Criticism Amid Controversial Performances

i-dle‘s (formerly known as (G)I-DLE) Soyeon has become a target of extreme criticism amid recent performances.

i-dle recently released the song “Good Thing.”
Amid the recent performances, netizens have raised concerns that the energy isn’t matched with the members. Although some fans defended the “lack of cohesion” by saying it was the concept, it has led netizens to believe that the members aren’t as invested in the song and performance as Soyeon.

In particular, along with some saying it didn’t suit members, they had some serious and personal criticism for Soyeon, explaining that the idol seemingly created the song for herself rather than thinking of the members, with some even going as far as saying she would be the group’s downfall or that she should go solo.
Yet, netizens noticed that i-dle have been hit with a stream of hate, sharing shock at people doubting the bond between the members.

soyeon for being the only one “enjoying the comeback” because she “prioritises herself concept wise”
and the rest of the girls for “not liking the cb” and being “lazy”
