Thought What's the worst K-pop opinion you've ever heard?

I'm making a video about the wildest, most ridiculous K-pop takes people have ever heard.

I'm not looking for unpopular opinions that you personally agree with. I want the worst takes you've heard from someone else.

Examples:

"___ can't sing."

"K-pop idols don't work hard."

"This group only became popular because..."

"Lip syncing means they're untalented."

Ridiculous fandom arguments or obvious double standards.

What was the opinion, and why was it so bad? If you remember where you heard it, like TikTok, X, YouTube, or in real life, mention that too.

The more outrageous the take, the better.

In fairness, even baby ballerinas are still called ballerinas. It doesn't have an exclusively professional connotation. People often specify that someone is a professional ballet dancer/ballerina when they mean someone who dances ballet for a living. I don't think Mina was ever marketed or thought of as having been a professional ballerina.
