Is Ive doing too much/oversaturating themselves?

apart from the impressive china sales of girls the release wasn't actually very hype. I don't think the starvation strategy helped much. Doubt it would help ive who haven't fully established themselves yet

aespa an 'event' comparable to bp? have you seen bp everytime they came back? feels like the olympics of kpop or something lol

ive is on the right track. they're a rookie, not backed by a big company and they have nothing to lose going neck to neck with bigger groups next month.

Well I haven't followed either group closely, meaning individual schedules variety appearances etc but as far as I can objectively see

Blackpink in 1st year

- 4 mvs

- 3 promoted songs

Ive in 1st year currently

- 2 mvs

- 2 promoted songs

So yeah 4 mvs and 3 promoted songs in a year definitely looks like a lot to me. That is something that is never happening again from Blackpink. The closest was in 2019 but then again it was nowhere near of how active they were in 2016. If you mean 2017, then I get that. They released AIIYL and disappeared. 2023 would be the equivalent year for Ive, but I doubt SSE will do the same cause they want to milk as much money as possible.

"They were lacking in that area in comparison to other groups" well so is IVE if you compare them to rookie Twice and rookie Red Velvet.

Its obvious that Ive is busy right now but yall acting like all you have to do to be successful is do something great and stay still waiting for the rest to happen. No, just because it looks easy now doesnt mean it was, not even for Blackpink.

but in 2016 they only went to a few music shows actually not many or barely went to variety shows other than weekly idol and running man in you compare it with regular girl groups that just debuted like releasing more content , vlogs etc

I don't think they were pretty active at all.

Delulu MY always mentioning BP on every thread

many group from non big 3 is flopping because they are taking too long too cb.

you, the big 3 slaves will never understand

MY's brain is oversaturated with bp rivalry and kwangya shit
