I think the unnecessary hate train started when the Eve Psyche and Bluebeards wife got so successful and viral, perfect night topping the charts in korea (which is crazy considering it was an english release), the announcement of being invited to Coachella to perform, and their goodbones trailer and the whole teasers for their easy comeback being viral(a lot of people looking forward to their comeback). Lsrfm is becoming famous and other stans/fandom are seeing them as a threat now, so that is why they are hating on them and starting unnecessary hate and rumors. I have seen these stuff happen before..when grps get bigger and statt to becomea threat to their own grp they then start to switch up on them and do anything to bring them down. I mean I’ve seen this before especially w/ BTS and Blackpink
