Katseye hate train could go either way.

We've seen a lot of kpop groups get hate trains and end up flourishing afterwards. (Aespa, Ive, Illit, Lesserafim) so I feel like if they were to drastically improve their music quality, and stop behaving publicly the way they do, that their careers could end up benefitting from this. A lot of of the time in K-pop, groups that were once hated and made a recovery are seen as insurmountable.

I also look at this from the lens of other people who have gotten successfully cancelled, I think it helps that they're from HYBE, so their chances of falling into irrelevancy are lower, but they COULD be successfully cancelled like KIOF and many other people who didn't have as much history in the industry. They are only two years old.

I do obviously hope that they make better music and get some PR training, but if that doesn't happen, then it's not exactly sad either because these girls just seem hungry for fame.
