I Was Wrong About SAINT SATINE (it's actually horrible)

Hybe’s new global girl group already feels controversial before debuting properly. the return of former Dream Academy contestants, to the Samara backlash, to the Sakura vs Ayana finale chaos… Saint Satine was thrown into discourse before they even had a real chance to exist. And after Hybe’s leaked “reverse virality” discussions, you really have to wonder Was this rollout badly managed… or completely intentional? Because to me at this point, controversy almost feels like part of the marketing.
