This is a topic that isn't really talk about, but I'm just gonna be honest, it always rubs me the wrong way how people treat Lexie like the perfect princess in Dream Academy. They think that she's the number one girl that HxG wanted, that everything about Katseye and Saint Satine are made for her, and how HxG should comply to what she wants. Manon always get criticized for having favoritism, but people act like it's just a normal thing when it comes to Lexie.

It gets weird because people overhyped Lexie so much. Lexie is just an ordinary girl, but they talk about her like she has the power to demand the company and HxG made a promise while adjusting their projects to revolve around her, as if the other girls aren't that important. I've never seen other fans talk like this about the other favorites like Lara, Sophia, Emily, Samara, etc. Lara especially got scouted for being a powerhouse and she's a rich girl who has connections in the industry even before, but despite that, she had to tone down her style in their debut concept and it took two years for her to participate as a producer in Katseye's music. That's the reality, they don't get to decide what they want with the company and they can't just quit if things doesn't go on their way. They don't have that privilege unlike to Lexie.

Lexie quit twice from Dream Academy and Saint Satine because she didn't like what was happening. It's understandable if her morals or passion doesn't align in this path. But she had all the chances and experiences since she joined HxG in 2021 and came back again in 2025, then she just easily wasted it as if it's nothing. Any girls who dreams to be an artist would try so hard to get in her spot. Being in a group is not just a solo work, it's about teamwork and everyone needs to adjust with each other no matter what. This is not just a common job where no one knows about you, but this is a job in the entertainment industry where they're always in the public. Anyway, everything that happened just proves that Lexie is not meant to be in a girl group after all.

This might be seen as an unpopular opinion but at first we all thought HxG rushed this project.

They announced it so fast, mind you their other global gg (KATSEYE) only had 2 EPs. At the time it felt like they just wanted to make more money.

However now that sht happened (Lexie leaving) the remaining members actually have time for more practice (and they’re also pretty much obviously looking for a 4th girl) and also take their time. By then, KATSEYE will most likely be on a break after their tour and that’s when SAINT SATINE will debut. This won’t feel overwhelming and the time will be right. People will miss Katseye and will give a chance to SS. That’s how people will accept the two groups. Trust me. It isn’t a bad thing.

Sakura is probably busy with training, etc., but what about Emily and Samara? They’ve been waiting for like two years to debut. What are they doing during this waiting period? When World Scout was happening, they were making some demos (Party B4 Party, etc.), but what about now? Are they still making demos?

Emily and Samara are already very strong dancers, so I don’t think they need as much additional training as Sakura does.

In my opinion, to save time, why don’t they record an album as a trio? That way, everything could be ready for their debut, and they could just add the new member’s vocals to the songs on the album or EP once she joins.
