Kakao even bought the idol news platform ‘Idol Issue’ and they pretty much own the whole industry. They are biggest monopoly in kpop owning major music charts, major award shows, a lot if kpop companies. The artists associated with kakao are getting special treatment with positive articles to make them go viral.
All tue negative articles about non kakao idols I have been seeing makes SO much sense now. These girl groups and boy groups like bts, nct, aespa, le sserafim, NewJeans were getting attacked left and right fir literally no reason. It all makes sense now, this was all to to create fake hype for their artists(especially IVE) and bring down other groups. Starship has always been a shady company in the past with the rigging of their trainees in produce 48. So I would not be shocked if they rigged their artists performance on melon and sabotaged some other artist’s on Melon on purpose. MMA might not be the most reliable and fair award show anymore. Idk anymore man…but Kakao and starship seriously MUST be investigated, and if you think what they’re doing is normal you’re really delusional.
