Were Kakao behind IVE’s huge success or is it all organic?

its a facebook fanpage though, i believe all fanpage do that favorite one group to some extend, is kakao wrong to buy fanpage to heavily promote their group? for me the question is how bad they slander other group, and how high they praise ive to heaven to make it matter in public

We don't know Kakao owned that page until recently so before we know that kakao owned the page, they probably just a normal news page for people so how much benefit did IVE get from this Kakao's move(hiding at the back, negative news to IVE competitor and positive news of IVE)?

so does this Kakao move play a role in IVE's success? imo not much. IVE will be successful without this shitty move from Kakao. However, does this going to hurt other group success? Maybe. Probably depend on what negative news they post.

I think Kakao bought the site around 3 years ago? And Knetz are suspecting that Kakao wasn't just releasing negative articles on the site but ALSO pushing the same negative articles on various other large online communities

Also I think IVE got their success through good music that people liked. The Kakao propaganda prob only pushed them jsut a bit just like any other marketing. But I think the REAL problem here is Kakao is a giant evil company that went out to underhandedly ruin other people's lives. And Starship (and their profits) is one of their babies.

does it even matter. yall just looking for reasons to discredit ive but that wont make other ggs more successful, popular, bigger than them. ive already is a wall with or without mediaplay

apparently Kakao owns Daum which owns Pann

interesting

Based on their growth in Album Sales since debut and their Song Charting then it strongly suggests organic growth.

The Album Sales of 4th Gen GG has been so huge for high profile groups that it supports that IVE would have had the same growth even if they weren't part of Starship, well, as long as they had the same content and promotions.

IVE seems to be the GG to watch as they currently have the Song Charting that is better than TWICE and BP did after their first 3 Title Songs

LOL....KPOP and Organic? Only JYP is organic

Daum dos not own Pann. Pann is a Nate site.
