Video: Fans pissed over IVE's season's greetings photos (discriminatory?!)

1. [+168] Content that the companies produce like this is actually so important. I had a friend who wasn't interested in idols at all but the kids in my class would leave 'Going Seventeen' on in class and she ended up joining the fandom because of how funny the content was. If you're really good about putting out good content, it's a good gateway for new fans.

- [+6] I remember 2PM and 2NE1 TV playing a big role for their fandom. Nowadays, Black Pink, IDLE, and Le Sserafim have been putting out some fun vlog type content as well.

2. [+134] They're a mid-tier agency for a reason

3. [+99] The point of season's greetings photos is to show a new image and try different things. They've always had that 'high teen' image so for them to reuse that for this photoshoot wasn't a good decision... Obviously the members all look great but this is the kind of attention to detail that separates the bigger agencies from the mid-tier ones.

- [+3] But then, you can't expect them to change it up by doing a sexy concept since their average age is so young and Leeseo is still in middle school.. They've already done the innocent concept, others already did the hanbok pictures, so I guess they just kept it going with the high teen image. I like it, I think they look pretty...ㅠ

4. [+62] Liz looks so good in this though ♡♡

5. [+25] I guess I wasn't the only one who felt disappointed ㅠㅠ it's not that they don't look pretty, it just leaves a bit to be desired.. maybe because their last year's was so pretty that it makes this year's pale in comparison

6. [+21] I wish IVE would share more variety content like the other idols... it's getting boring only seeing behind-the-scenes content over and over again

7. [+21] They're from a mid-tier agency for a reason

8. [+19] I do wish IVE would do more variety shows like 123 Ive rather than all the behind-the-scenes stuff

9. [+17] You can only expect so much from a mid-tier agency

10. [+8] With a group like IVE, you'd think their company would want to invest more

11. [+3] Cosmic Girls has the worst season's greetings of the year... ㅠㅠ their background is just white ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

12. [+9] Starship only ever cares about making a buck off their artists, never investing anything into them

But I like it? What are people upset over?

Quote from TheHeretic

Could rename themselves TWIVE after this shoot.

I don't like that name. It reminds me of TWICE and that's a name another group already has. We should be careful about things like names since fans can get sensitive!

Quote from doesitneedsaying

i saw the pics and tried to find something problematic in them before checking the comments. i i failed at finding anything. it turned out that there was nothing problematic in them after all lol

Right? They're cute!

Quote from quarkie

Why are they talking about TV shows and YouTube content in the context of a Seasons Greetings.

Is it? I thought the point of a Seasons Greetings was to get one last round of cash out of the fandom before the year ended.

Quote from ShaShySha

They..have..?

I have concluded that the comment section was on crack when writing these jewels

Quote from TheHeretic

LOL! That's the point of my comment - the photoshoot makes them look exactly like 2017-era TWICE.

All the more reason why their name should NOT be changed to TWIVE!

Quote from ShaShySha

Also i don't get what's wrong with this? They look very cute

IVE had 3 hits in a row, i don't think seasons greetings are what they need to gain fans lol

I'm a stan already but they sure won me over with their cuteness in this photo as well

Quote from bunnyviolet

eh? they look really cute tho…

We are all on the same page except for these commentators

Quote from Whi

Goddammit this photoshoot would’ve made great badges for liz lol not that her current badge looks bad but that photo of her holding a ball is the perfect badge Rei’s pics would look good as badges too

She's too cute but I'd be triggered by the ball and would've edited it out
