Netizens' Responses
Netizens took to online platforms to express their concerns and criticisms, with some voicing outright disapproval:
"I hope their viewership will be freaking atrocious and they will have no buzz whatsoever from it. I'm scared that other companies will start copying them;; Fck YG who is introducing this kind of content should just go de. How are they going to run a show with them dating influencers while growing their fandom? Crazy fckers"
Such sentiments reflect apprehension towards the potential impact of this new venture on TREASURE's image and fanbase.
Others highlighted the discomfort purportedly expressed by the members themselves:
"I feel like even the members would hate doing this, just why would they shoot this;; I was watching Doyoungie's live earlier and he spoiled the content saying that just thinking about it is giving him a headache fck.."
This comment underscores concerns about the wellbeing and preferences of the group members, suggesting potential dissatisfaction within the group.
