A post gaining attention on June 8 on the renowned Korean online community board Nate Pann ridiculed LE SSERAFIM supporters for their reactions to controversies surrounding the group, under the heading “What’s hilarious about LE SSERAFIM’s followers is lol.” Within the fan community, LE SSERAFIM fans are derogatorily referred to as “cockroaches.”
The discussion suggested that LE SSERAFIM enthusiasts previously considered their group to be on the same pedestal as NewJeans, leading them to latch onto NewJeans and Bunnies (NewJeans’ fandom) while disparaging rival groups such as IVE and aespa. However, following the outbreak of a disagreement involving HYBE and Min Hee-jin, and consequent backlash against LE SSERAFIM, its fans then pointed the finger at Min Hee-jin and Bunnies for allegedly undermining LE SSERAFIM, redirecting their criticism towards NewJeans.
The post also referenced the criticism faced by Jang Won-young and Ahn Yu-jin over IZ*ONE’s disbandment, questioning the rationale behind such blame games: “Why do you blame others? Why should Jang Won-young and Ahn Yu-jin shoulder the blame for IZ*ONE’s disbandment, and why is the criticism aimed at LE SSERAFIM now purportedly due to Min Hee-jin and NewJeans? Can’t you own up to issues without pointing fingers?”
This post quickly drew in some 52,000 views and numerous comments within a day. The remarks included:
“I’m not caught up on the IZ*ONE situation, so no comment there, but how does it make sense that NewJeans is blamed when LE SSERAFIM brought about negative public sentiments due to their Coachella performance?”
“It’s noticeable how some pretend to support multiple groups on YouTube only to bash IVE. The majority of channels that throw shade at IVE while praising LE SSERAFIM are run by their own fans.”
“Couldn’t agree more.”
“Not to mention aespa – these fans clung to NewJeans, dismissing aespa. Yet, when aespa’s recent comeback achieved success, they suddenly pair up with aespa to belittle IVE and NewJeans. Incredible.”
“At Coachella, LE SSERAFIM’s aficionados lashed out at BTS, RIIZE, GFRIEND, BLACKPINK, and IVE. ^^ They are arguably the 4th generation’s most problematic fandom.”
