However, there have been some negative reactions as well, with many pointed at Chanya’s young age.
idk about y’all but stanning a group with members under 15 is so icky and weird especially with how evil both the internet and industry is https://t.co/IiT95U5935

Additionally, some have called out YG for seemingly trying to “create a new BLACKPINK.” In addition to having a Thai member, Evelli is from Australia, like Rosé.
