No one cared about this label until IVE started smashing. It's a way for their antis to cope and downplay IVE's success by trying to insinuate that they had privilege and other things, even though this narrative doesn't really hold up cause IVE are the most successful act from SSE AND the entire Kakao "label" since the 2nd gen

Ive fans and their victimhood when they had nearly four years experienced popular idols as rookies ( lol) and kakao had the funds to give them huge promo and push. Connections on TV etc like any big four firm. That is called privilege but surely poor Ive is self made group who had rags when they debuted. Sure
This is why WJSN songs go straight to #1 on the charts.
Well they do get a #1 song every new year for like and hour

kakao mean cocoa in my country and I rather drink cocoa than coffee, so I am kakao stan

Same way txt song went number one right? These big companies give funds and get tv slots promos etc. Good music is the one which goes to top simple. I've is no poor group. It had two four year senior rookies and a massive marketing hype and budget

WJSN did debut a month after LEON (who owned 70% of Starship) was bought by KakaoM, so KakaoM probably was not that much involved in the marketing of WJSN compared to now, plus KakoM owns about 60% of Starship, compared to Hybe that controls 100% of Big Hit. That may affect the level of investment the parent company makes on the subsidiary.
