Is WakeOne a good company or I should be worried for upcoming group?

all they need to do its not really ass music

zb1 has alot of hype, one a male rookie group hasn't see in a while in korea

it can not be that difficult to not fuck it up

I just hope they'll not fuck up since they are becoming my ult group with Treasure rn.

Hope the debut song will be great (I'm mostly worried by this since I don't love Kep1er discography) and that they'll have a lot work (rip).

They are awful

But hopefully we are going to get good songs like Jelly Pop, Say My Name and Over Me, give them some good music and let the magic happen

Is there a really reliable kpop company? Maybe Hybe (I'm not a fan of any hybe group, but as a outsider they do their job well), since they groups do comebacks and capitalize the hype well, but even companies like SM or YG make the fans mad.

Overall, I have some good expectations. Wakeone was a mess for kep1er, but just like I.O.I, Kep1er is a experimental group, made to build the hype to another reality (produce season 2 and boys planet). And the hype is bigger for ZB1, since boys planet was more famous than girls planet, and the lineup made (almost) everyone happy.

For me, the messiest move from wakeone is collect trainees and never debut them, only debut project groups. Not gonna lie, wakeone trainees future (sans Taerae) worries me a lot.

I feel like they definitely messed up with Kep1er. The investment is huge and there's a lot of promotion but title tracks have just not been well picked. They've done ok with Jo Yuri but that could also be better. I think their weak point is picking songs, maybe they lack inhouse people who are capable of picking songs for albums or they're unwilling to invest in top producers' songs, no clue.

When IZ*ONE moved from Pledis to WakeOne the music quality also dropped a bit. The 2 WakeOne albums are great but flower trilogy title tracks and b-sides are always dominating any vote about top IZ*ONE songs and BLOOM*IZ was their biggest success by a landslide.

I do think they did overall a decent job with IZ*ONE and I would imagine they know how much potential the BP999 group has. Doubt they will mess it up.

Seeing how many people on my timeline complaining about wakeone's doing to kep1er, I'd say that they aren't.

Idk tho, maybe it's because team management thing or not, because so far Jo Yuri is doing good there as a soloist...

i dont know how any of these works.

can someone explain to me how survival groups are handed to what company to manage them?

was their any other company competing against wakeone to acquire them?
