why kakao only became relevant to kpop fans now that ive is massive?

  • kpop fans and their ignorance. Kakao have always been the biggest force in the Korean entertainment industry.



    There were a few brave souls like me talking about how huge Kakao was even before Ive hit it big. Lotta folks made fun of me for it, but i feel a bit vindicated now that it has been proven that Kakao has used its influence to help Ive. :yesr:


    OK but the real question is... who is the biggest force in Korean entertainment. Kakao, CJ, networks like MBC/SBS/KBS, or internet giant Naver? :whatb:

    there's a good reason why they made fun of you, but you're so proud of your ignorance that i'm gonna keep it that way

  • I had no idea people considered the companies under kakao are like one big group. I don't consider it still cause I feel like IST entertainment (??? They keep changing their name it's so annoying), starship, and edam have their own vibe and creativity if that makes sense. Like hybe's sub labels are feel connected and kakao just...don't

    people need some big bad figure to be antagonized. If not, then where else they could channel their negativity? ;(

    But i was proven right in the end. Companies dont spend millions to buy other companies or get controlling interests and just forget about them lol. This defies any and all forms of logic.


    "Here Starshit, we're Kakao, we're so damn rich we gonna give you 10million to buy a controlling stake in your company. But don't worry, we dont care what you do with it, we just love throwing money away, you can gamble it all on horsies for all we care, or Bitcoin for all you younger whippersnappers. Yeah, i know our shareholders might complain, hell they might even sue the board if we dont act responsibly to manage and oversee their interests and properties, but dude it's way more important for you to be an "independent" subsidiary. That's our #1 corporate priority, preserving Starshit's "independence"."


    Like wut? :pepe-just-smile:

  • Because they were all focused on the big bad wolf HYBE since they were unhappy to see a non BIG3 group like BTS surpassing all of their faves but Kakao monopoly on the industry has been there for a moment. Now that IVE is so popular, they use that against them. I am not even DIVE besides, I feel neutral toward IVE.


    Kakao indeed promoted their artists in an unethical way when they put down the competition with this Facebook page but it's time to wake up, others companies have been doing it for years. IVE is not responsible of this mess so stop using that to drag them.

  • I do remember people mentioning CJ and Kakao before. It's just undeniable that IVE does get a lot of industry push and support and have been from the start. Pretty much on par with a Big 4 group. No hate, the girls are successful and popular by their own merits but their fans need to stop the underdog thing because they've certainly got the backing.

  • Kakao was never a kpop company so even if there were talks here and there nobody said Weeekly, Victon or Monsta X has Kakao privilege, Starship is a independent subsidiary under Kakao with a different building, channel and everything, this is not like hybe, i doubt the artists under different subsidiaries even know each other, each subsidiary has a different building from each other and the main kakao, they are as independent as they can get.


    Only now suddenly Kakao groups has so much privilege because of IVE, i guess this happen when the group get to big, kpop stans need to drag them down so they are gonna use everything they can to do it

  • Asks question - gets pissy at all the responses.


    Glove fits I suppose.

    so my answer is pissy? and why would that be?


    you gave a reason that couldnt be the reason because kakao privilege started going around way before the controversy that people like you love because now you can link it to ive and use it against them. you dont even distribute your trash talking to other kakao ggs like weeekly and wjsn as well because ive is the only one that is a threat to your faves so they are the problem. i could go on and on why your reply sucks, and made you a favor that i didn't went on that.
