A theqoo post of high-definition screencaps of Lee Sooman's boy group members drew 12 comments, and almost none were kind. The verdict from the thread: the song is fine, the faces are the problem.

The post gave no details beyond the images, so what follows is community reaction, not any statement from the group or its agency. Commenters kept circling the same complaints: looks, freshness and stage presence. Some also pointed out that the group's girl group counterpart is more popular.

The visual angle seems to sting most because commenters framed the company as one that trades on looks. A couple of users said the members look a bit better in video than in stills, which is the only mild defense in the thread.

    Yikes. That's a no from me.

  2. 2

    So that's why the girl group is the more popular act.

  3. 3

    Heights seem fine, but the faces could use some work.

  4. 4

    Why, though?

  5. 5

    I kept scrolling, sure there'd be at least one good-looking member. There wasn't. It's bad.

  1. 6

    They look a little better in video.

  2. 7

    The song is decent, at least.

  3. 8

    Worse, they don't even look young or fresh.

  4. 9

    Even if they couldn't cast flower-boy types, they should have picked faces that pull in fans. This is a visual company, after all.

  5. 10

    Are you sure there's no filter on these?

  1. 11

    Hmm, not great.

  2. 12

    None of the members seem to have any presence.

End of story. The OMONAR Desk.
