Reactions of Yonsei University students to recent performances by HYBE idol groups garnered attention online.
On May 25th, Yonsei University's festival took place with 11,000 audiences. On this day, TWS, ILLIT, Jeon So Mi, DAY6, Crush, aespa, (G)I-DLE, and Big Bang's Taeyang performed and engaged with students on a more personal level. However, it seems not all performances were well received according to some of the student reactions shared online.
"Dahn World took over AKARAKA. Was HYBE offering the cheapest deals AKARAK has the worst lineup compared to that of AKARAKA with alumni and IPSELENTI (Korea University's festival)"
"Is this some kind of HYBE family concert What is this"
"Should have revealed the lineup beforehand if it was going to be like this. If I knew who was coming beforehand I would have at least tried to search their songs before the festival. There's no song that I can sing along.."
"Breaking) ILLIT came up"
"Next up could be LE SSERAFIM~ gg"
"Were they BOGO from HYBE what is this"
"ILLIT lmao fml"
"Who are you?"
"Like this post if you are seriously suspecting a connection between the organizer and HYBE"
commenter 1: "This is all Dahn World's plan gg~!"
Netizens shared their thoughts on these surprising reactions:
"Bang Si Hyuk's sycophant Park Ji Won is Yonsei University alumni lol"
"Could really be a BOGO deal"
"How come TWS got to perform there AKARAKA is a flop lol"
"This time Korea University won. ILLIT TWS were really mid"
"So how come locals don't even know who TWS is when the media say TWS may snag the first place?"
"Payola lol"
"HYBE couldn't pay off the university online community lol"

I have to agree about TWS. Their sales are huge for a rookie group but nobody seem to know who they are. It's not normal to be this unknown to the public but have sales like that. HYBE must really think the public is idiotic and won't notice discrepancies like that.
