starship did bare minimum...for this comeback..ive know that

Quote from bartkun

why are people overreacting

when they will get pre-release?

and pre-order was opened in right time

this is the similar promotion type to NewJeans

just dropping MV's, and releasing music more often than other groups

Ive has no contents, 4/6 members don’t have IG. They were N/A for 8 months and let’s not even talk about how the budget is always cheap.

Ive is truly the Twice successor lmfao

starship ent should give the rest ig accounts. it’s kinda not fair to the other 4 members. don’t they have contents on their youtube channel and didn’t they attend the award shows? how are they n/a for 8 months?

IVE seem to not have alot of free content

They are always busy shooting for magazines, ads and cfs.

Putting more on their plate is not really fair imo. Aren't members still in school?

i'm sorry but yujin and wonyoung have more experience in the industry and that's probably why they're permitted to have an instagram account. it's not about being fair it's about being cautious so the rookie members don't accidentally cause controversy.

from my point of view, there's no need to do so much promos before the songs get released. what's important is after that.

This reply to bartkun is like literally killing me. What does any of this have to do with what they said??

This new promo strategy is obviously becoming the norm, the only thing i disagree with is that NewJeans started this. Aespa started this. Couple of teasers, pre release (illusion) and then full album and title (girls). Million sold just like that, minimal buy in, maximum output. I think that this IVE comeback with Kitsch is going to finally dethrone NewJeans if Jisoo doesnt, and then the actual title will probably SLAY the charts.

It worked for BPink, why not IVE

Go do something for a bit. it's coming. like these girls tweet says. chill and wait. they are obviously doing a lot of things ( cf's, ad's videos. maybe even variety shows and ive123 season 3, 1thek dance practice or studio choom etc or maybe even contents for the b sides). Like they have been working nonstop since debut. even when they didnt release any song after 7 months. they attended all awards shows. LIKE 10 FAN CONCERT SHOWS IN KOREA AND JAPAN. then start getting ready for a comeback. SSE damn sure has a lot of their plate right now. like relax. once the album releases, youll get to see all the stuff they made. if not then have your pitchforks ready. imo its better to release stuff the closer the comeback is rather than drop something then have big breaks of nothing.

I understand the concern but in all honesty I think dives are overreacting af. We're lucky enough we're getting a prerelease. There's still a whole month until their actual cb and title track. Could Starship do better? Absolutely. But all the whining gets annoying at some point.
