Now that we know Sakura is the final member, Saint Satine’ s Instagram is full of comments saying Ayana was robbed, that the chosen member feels out of place or doesn’t fit the group, and even people joking that “HYBE better pray Samara never gets sick or injured.”

The backlash will probably calm down eventually, like it always does, but I’m genuinely curious about how you guys think all of this is going to affect the group long term — not just the lineup controversy, but also the group name itself.

There are already jokes about “Saint Sardine,” “Saint Saltine,” “Saint Satin,” "Saint Satan", “Saint Poutine,” etc., and the initials “SS” are… definitely a choice.

I’m personally disappointed with the final lineup too, but I’m more interested in discussing whether these things could actually impact the group’s image/public reception in the long run or if people will move on once they debut properly.

Very curious to know as I will be signing with them soon.

Hi everyone!!! I, Portuguese F23 will be spending the summer working at a restaurant in Langweer (mid May-Aug).

I’ve never been to the Netherlands before, and I really want to be the best guest I can be. I’m already working on the pronunciation of basic Dutch words and will move on to learning restaurant/waitressing vocabulary next. If you have any suggestions on what would be useful to learn, please let me know.

I’ll be landing in AMS and my employer suggested taking a train + bus to Langweer, but I’ve also seen FlixBus as an option. Which would you recommend?

I was also wondering how reliable public transport generally is. Do trains/buses tend to run on time, or are delays common?

I’d also love advice on what to do and not to do while I’m there. I know I’ll be in a smaller town and only staying for a short time, but I still want to make an effort to respect and experience the local culture properly. I've been told there are two Christian holidays in May, are Dutch people religious or not really?

I know from experience how frustrating it can be when visitors don’t make an effort with language, customs, etc., and I really want to avoid that.

Bedankt 😄
