They are trying to frame ILLIT as a "failure"

They've been waiting for a chance to label ILLIT a failure, and now they're using the encore concert as an excuse.
Before this, they were already doing well with their concerts and promotions. The only real issue was that if the company had chosen a location with better transport or a slightly smaller venue, it would have been sold out.
On Theqoo, they keep posting the same thing over and over. Once a post hits 1,000 comments, they delete it under the guise of "clarifying" things, only to repost it to fill up the comments again. They do this every few days, and it's been going on for days now. Their malicious intent is so obvious.
So what if a rookie girl group can't sell out a venue? lol
Even if they perform at a Dome in a few years, people will complain that they can't fill the seats. If they do fill them, they'll claim it was all due to complimentary tickets. They are already building up that narrative.
Some ask if the harassment of NewJeans is over, but it's still ongoing.
Those "handmaidens" are still spreading malicious comments about plagiarism on X, female-dominated communities, and YouTube. If this continues, the fandom will get exhausted and fall apart.
They are even framing it by claiming ILLIT is doing this because they are excluding male fans; they always use these kinds of disguises.
There is no evidence that ILLIT ever told male fans to leave. They just make things up and spread rumors using that "female-centric" way of attacking people. ILLIT isn't the only one; quite a few teams have been targeted like this.
Specifically, because of the whole "NewJeans is being bullied" narrative, they won't let them go.
On top of that, since it happens to coincide with their comeback, they are building up a narrative to link the two by dragging down their digital streaming numbers as well.
