The topic eventually led to a debate among fans.

BABYMONSTER made their appearance on MBC Radio and performed their newest track "FOREVER." Since their live performance made buzz in the K-pop community, a clip from the episode was shared online.

However, some fans pointed out that Ahyeon looked less enthusiastic during the session compared to the other members. Fans then speculated that this was due to the hate and criticism regarding her performances.

"The way everybody else was having fun and then there's Ahyeon," OP captioned. "Y'all are so sick and twisted to be happy that she noticed the hate."

@jenduegik she doesn't deserve any hate | #babymonster #baemon #chiquita #asa #pharita #ruka #rora #rami #ahyeon #jungahyeon #sad #hate #defend #haters #foryou #fyp #viral #kpop #kpopstan #performance #liveperformance ♬ What Was I Made For? [From The Motion Picture "Barbie"] - Billie Eilish

Fans commented on the post and voiced their worry for the idol. Some even compared her current situation with Jennie, who went through the same format of hate during her rookie days with BLACKPINK. Read their comments below:

• "As I predicted, Ahyeon is now in the process of becoming the second 'Villain Of Kpop.' Good job y'all. This is literally the same process of how Jennie obtained that title."
• "Jennie & Ahyeon are not the same person but they have the same story. It's so sad."
• "Now they'll say she's lazy."
• "She's now adjusting her energy, so y'all people call her lazy like what you all did to Jennie."
• "My baby Ahyeon doesn't deserve that."
• "I'm sick of the hate, she was obviously just really excited about finally debuting."
• "This reminds me of Jennie's situation."
• "I genuinely feel bad for her. She was just having fun on stage and now we've lost another bright smile."

Meanwhile, some fans disagreed with the claims and stated that the post was only stirring unnecessary drama. The video also generated reactions on X (Twitter), where netizens opposed the scrutiny of Ahyeon's behavior and appearance.

• "Okay, but she was literally happy and engaged throughout. This is so out of context."
• "You all don't have a clue wtf even happened and make these posts like you know her."
• "You don't know her life, she may have had a bad day, like we all have, not everything is about cyberbullying."
• "People are always jumping to conclusions, like what if this poor girl was just having a bad day or was just tired." 
• "It happens to everyone. She's human and she can have bad days."

Can yall please stop? This isnt helping #AHYEON at all. I know yall dont mean any harm but pls JUST STOP. Yall keep forgetting why she had her hiatus.

YOU DO NOT EXPECT PEOPLE LIKE THEM TO BE ALL HIGH ALL THE TIME. Her behavior is normal for her case. STOP IT pic.twitter.com/KgZp4C8Pwu

I’m going to talk about this once and for all. Y'all should STOP analyzing Ahyeon’s every behavior. These types of videos are circulating around the internet, and they don’t bring anything good. She’s sometimes more reserved than other girls, but it doesn’t mean she’s always sad+ pic.twitter.com/kLgwpEo2Lj
