Yet, as more details about the single have been revealed, it has sparked major ridicule and been dubbed the comeback as an “embarrassment.” It is common for companies to release multiple versions of one album, with different concepts and inclusions, but netizens noticed that LE SSERAFIM’s single album had 20 versions.
One OP shared their shock on Reddit, placing blame on HYBE and adding, “Is this not taking it too far?”
20 versions for a Single is kind of egregious isn't it?

Netizens also agreed with the OP, saying that HYBE was using cheap tactics as an attempt to chart and that it exudes a sense of desperation, which many of the commenters didn’t think LE SSERAFIM needed. They added that it looked bad on the group and even dubbed the company “selfish.”

Yet, a look at Spotify also sparked backlash as netizens noticed that aside from one B-Side, the rest of the tracks were just different versions of “SPAGHETTI.”
Fans hit back at HYBE for only releasing two new songs and then just having six remixes, with many saying it’s a cheap tactic to chart.
at some point yall should actually start trashing hybe because if i was anticipating a cb and the “album” was just 2 songs and 6 remixes of those songs i’d end up in the news https://t.co/ZkXEw8e7hm pic.twitter.com/hymVjfdgl2

HYBE has come under fire a lot for over-consumerism when it comes to their groups’ new releases.
