On June 20, BEAT INTERACTIVE dropped a significant hint that the group is nearing their official debut by teasing their name, “HinLOVE,” and unveiling a new Twitter account dedicated to the group.

The image quickly became a hot topic online. While some fans expressed curiosity and excitement about the new group, many voiced concerns about the image being projected by the upcoming idols. Critics argued that the decision to showcase the members shirtless could be seen as an attempt to attract attention through provocative means rather than focusing on their musical talents and potential. This sparked a broader conversation about the marketing strategies used for K-pop idols and the pressures young trainees face even before their official debut.
Amid the buzz, BEAT INTERACTIVE has not yet revealed the official debut date for HinLOVE. As the conversation continues, fans and netizens alike are eagerly awaiting more details about the group’s music and concept. The controversy surrounding the banner highlights the challenges and scrutiny new K-pop groups often face in a highly competitive industry where first impressions can significantly impact their initial reception.
