This isn't even taking into consideration how Korean fans of AKB48 feel neglected by the group itself.

I look at the group and simply think "manufactured" .... a good idol or idol group appears to be natural, have a bit of quirky girl next door, and doesn't look like a communist propaganda lock-step group. Its an intangible quality but sometimes the producer/managers just fail to mask any insincerity with their product.
