ZB1 scoring all-kills and Top 20 sales with a MAGAZINE

    So, pre-orders for ZB1's 1st Look magazine opened yesterday and the numbers they've been pulling are kinda insane?


    First of all, the cover looks amazing so that's a plus.


    Secondly, they're already on Ktown4u's Top 20 all-time K-Content Chart (for non-album releases like photobooks or magazines) with 11k+ pre-orders on Day 1.

    At this point I really poor Kep1er members. They didn't get anything during this period of their predebut era.


    Anyway Congratulations to ZB1. Finally, bg started to make some wave in Korea.

    are their promotions being handled by the same company?

    Yes, both of them are under wakeone's management. Sadly they make it super clear that they want Kep1er just as their lab rat.

    damn, unprofessional that they didn't seem prepared at all with kep1er and learned from that experience to do better with zb1

    They did this photoshoot, I remember everyone thought it would be theit concept, Alice in wonderland lol But yes, Kep1er is like I.O.I, the first and experimental group. I.O.I was even worse, since we got the blandest music ever as debut even if the show popularity was insane in Korea, and the contract wasn't exclusive, so some the companies were greedy and debuted the girls in their own groups before I.O.I ended.

    My only theory is that W1 hates the Kep1er lineup and dgaf about them because their handling of them is really poor.


    Wake One is essentially OTR, Stone Music, and a couple other CJ companies combined and they have successfully managed survival show groups before. Idk why they dropped the ball so much with Kep1er.

    I remember being so psyched about their debut when this photoshoot came out

    Honestly imo they only suceed maneging izone


    IOI was a mess


    Wanna One has very good promotions, specially individually, but had way too much bad comebacks and a very convoluted scheduled. The problem was the contract, it was way too short to build proper hype between comebacks and let the group grown. Moreover they failed to cultivate their international popularity focusing only in Korea even if the show was pretty bit elsewhere


    They did well with iZone. Neither Produce 48 nor iZone was nearly as close as Broduce and Wanna One, but they manage the group well. Their songs were well received, they released albums in Japan, overall the fandom grew even if the rigging scandals


    X1 was rushed in a desperate attempt to avoid the rigging controversy, it was all meaningless and the group disbanded



    With Kep1er it makes them failing to proper manage the group 3 out of 5 times, and only succeeding 1 our of 5

    For Wanna One, I was thinking more about variety shows. The boys were everywhere those 1.5 years. I remember CJ also got Zico, Nell, Dynamic Duo, and Heize to produce songs for their third mini which is HUGE. Ofc, all of that could've been due to Wanna One's own popularity, but I think they did average. It wasn't great but not terrible either. They gave them regular comebacks at least.


    As for international hype, there's really nothing they could do on that front. They just didn't have hype internationally because favorites like Samuel didn't make it into the lineup and music wasn't good.


    Imho, the biggest issue with their management was the music, lack of budget for comebacks, and schedules.
