When GLG unveiled the group's Thai member Sitala in November 2021, various K-pop fans in Thailand called for her removal, as her late father was a known supporter of the country's military tyranny that ousted two democratic-elected civilian governments in the 2006 and 2014 military coup d'état. In response to the backlash, GLG issued a statement on December 8 saying: "We cannot hold Sitala at risk for what her father did within the past, as his activities were past her obligation. Sitala could be a courteous and dedicated individual, whose objective is to improve Thailand's national glory.
