is Starship just lucky or actually capable enough to produce 2 mega digital monster group on different generations...

Definitely not luck. Sistar was all due to the management of Starship. They would have been nobody without Starship.

They actually pay top dollar for good composers and lyricists

They know whats trendy but they wont follow the formula exactly so they keep it fresh

No way luck did it for them twice although Wjsn isn't on par with the rest of 3rd gen groups they still manged to have some songs that resonate well with the GP and good album sales with some members having successful solo careers and for MonstaX starship took a good advantage of their popularity overseas I would even place 3rd in US in term of popularity after Bts and Nct and the overseas popularity helped them expend their career in Korea and cement it and now Starship is doing it again with Ive through good mangent and using the right team to produce for Ive the only problem that Starship has is that the seem to not be able to contain the hate that their idols receives

Expect from maybe boy groups because Starship had been more lucky with GG's than bgs

Both I guess?

Now that you said it, yeah... they had at least 1 group that make them keep surviving on each gen..

Idk about cravity, but I guess WJSN trajectory might be disrupted because they lost their C-line... Because damn, Chengxiao is one of famous artist in China right now...

Like my mother who only follow bg, know her just because she love c-drama and c-shows...

While sometimes starship is starshit when it comes to scheduling and some other stuffs, but they give their artists many opportunities (like bona and her acting gigs, some wjsn member had many osts, etc)

The only reason I feel that WJSN isn't as popular is because of the number of

That and also maybe because starship back then only following a trend?

My following statements below may upsetting a long-time ujungs..

But I think that back in the day, starship actually want to follow/copy twice.

I may be wrong on that conclusion, but after watching their early contents and such, they said that actually wjsn is originally meant to be girl-crushy, and it will be less then 10 (it would be 6 or so, i forgot)

Then, somehow starship adding some more cute members, and then momomo is their debut song.

And my first impression is, momomo is a cute song, like early twice.

But then, fortunately they added Yeonjung and made the vibes to be more dreamy/fantasy

So the debut didn't give them much, because they took the common vibes, making them hard to pop out from the rest

obviously quality bops

IVE would be popular (maybe not instant hit) even if Wonyoung and Yujin didnt make it to Iz*one. Their songs are absolutely good even non-kpop followers find their songs catchy.

Same with Sistar. Despite not having a big fanbase, the GPs always resonnate with Sistar songs
