a starship ent employee (apparently the head of headquarters) caught being shady towards NewJeans on instagram [UPDATE: she deactivated her account 🤡]

Idk about Pann and Istiz, but two posts are def still trending top10 on The Qoo about the incident and are not deleted. The first post currently has 839 comments calling Starship embarrassing and the second post is about the pictorials the employee commented on which has 375 comments currently. Anyway, embarrassing behaviour from that employee. Both IVE and NJ are very successful and are doing fine, no need to shade NJ just hype IVE.

The post is trending really high on theqoo currently so there will probably be more translations soon.

I'm failing to understand what exactly she did but judging by the 800+ comments being all negative it must be pretty bad

As for the album design.. I think that's a random coincidence. They made the first tour announcement using this exact same color theme and font in Dec 2022. Chances are they already had the Blu-ray boxes etc all designed at this point. It's also just one of the 3 versions that is similar and these 3 versions are all just the same palette with the colors flipped. Saying this was plagiarized seems like a huge stretch especially because of the timing the concept was revealed (18th Dec 2022).

that sucks

Why can't people behave professionally?

I'm still unclear as to what she actually said? Is this yet another example of a made up Knetz issue that no one in the GP will care about two weeks from now (just like Yena's made up scandal, the Fromis made up vaping scandal, etc etc)?

what an unforced error smh, like use a burner or something lol even braindead twt trolls have more tact

Quote from whig

inb4 she forgot to log out of her dupe acc before going hate troll cruising lol #neverforget

Im confused, what exactly did that starship employee said about newjeans?

time to reformed the whole company!!!

She deleted pic and bio at first, now deactivated insta

I'm not sure about actual translation . Saw people say it was passive aggressive "well .."/ "umm..m" under new jeans posts, one was " our rei did it best/better" . But I don't sure she commented under nj post. People just show difference about her post

whatever its true value, its enough that she deactivated her instagram just now

knetz could have her address, social security number and her malatang order by midnight for shit like this, how can one be so short-sighted

but I'm curious on how many akp users that will use this as a green card to bash ive?

(excluding trolls, maybe there are at least 3 active users)

Kboo made article

In the photos of Minji and Danielle, the general manager commented “hmm” and “hmm hmm” which were very ambiguous but seemed to have connotations of indifference

Yet, in another post on Instagram regarding IVE, the manager was more praising and wrote, “You’re doing great, you’re doing great at everything. our Rei is doing the bestest.

The staff was revealed to be a general manager at Starship Entertainment. Netizens were quick to call them out as “childish,” and that it only served to show that they were on the edge about NewJeans as IVE’s competition.

• Looks like their on the edge about NewJeans… How cheap of them.
• LOL are they a double agent for ADOR? Did they climb the ladder to the GM position at Starship just for this day?
• How embarrassing… Why are they like that?
• Not even a regular staff, but their GM… You can tell how the vibes are at the company.
• You just know for sure that NewJeans’ popularity is amazing LOL.
• Their skills at doing reverse psychology viral marketing are still going strong. Hmm…ship Entertainment.
• There are so many people that are already trying to tear their idols’ achievements down by saying that the company is consistently doing viral marketing for them. I can’t believe their GM is feeding the trolls.

Many are calling out the general manager for their actions, calling it a blight on the girls’ achievements.

Starshit is just a terrible company. Ive deserves better, the only thing Starshit has ever done right for Ive is bring them great songs like Afterlike, I AM and Kitsch. My Izone girls literally did ALL THE REST, when it comes to promotion, fanservice, turning every grade schooler in Korea into an Ive fan, etc.

Imagine if Ive was under Hybe. Knowing how much BangPD is rumored to have loved Izone, we would be having Izone interactions every day. Ssamkkura talk about Izone every day and nobody in Hybe cares. I mean we Wizones are already spoiled with how much our girls interact, but with Starshit out of the picture, a full blown Izone reunion wouldnt be out of the picture either .

That employee must be ive stan and especially wonyoung biased i bet my ass

i just feel bad for them atp. if the rumour that this is a marketing exec is true, then holy moly just let that sit with you: this is Starship marketing's terrible grasp of PR.

From the title I was expecting her to have popped off but all she said was “hmm”?

nah she is just dumb and finally she will get fired!!!

I've been calling Starship "Starshit" ever since they sabotaged Izone's extension efforts.

Y'all need to join me now, this is the second time that company has been implicated in smearing rival groups, weren't they also involved in creating hate posts on Korean SM against LSRFM, New Jeans, etc?

We saw the news about Kakao being forced to sell some part of their stake in Starshit. We need BangPD to make them a good offer for Starshit, take a controlling interest in it, and then clean house over there by shytecanning all the problematic execs there. Keep that musty Ryan Meat Jun or whatever his name is cause he's been writing bangers for them and just clean house.

i don't think she'll get fired, cause she hasn't really cost starship anything. people are just dunking on her stupidity but it's more or less immaterial

All this drama over just uhmmm? I was expecting something like "shibal ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"... im disappointed -_- .

Wow. You know you’re losing when you have to do this. Stay mad #supershy

Some fans are dying for a rivalry that any small thing will be blown out of proportion. Imagine how hard they looked for this if a simple hmm is supposed to be problematic

Kpop Fans... They went balistic on Nancy without her saying a single word.

In the eyes of Kpop Fans this "uhmmm" is probably like a death sentence.

You’re really the most annoying wizone using this thread to set up again Wonyoung and Yujin.

You need to let it go that group

aaahh just look up at the korean part of twitter and turns out it all happened at this one make up artist ig @ gaffy who is the mua for magazines, including rei and newjeans danielle and minji

Idk if she followed gaffy, but each post of newjeans pictorials uploaded yesterday and the day before and there are not much comments, so her passive aggresive comment among variation of “omg so pretty”s really stands out, maybe a fan notice, click on the profile, and boom!! starship ent in bio.

so tl;dr she saw newjeans posts on and bothered enough to leave just hmmmmm. not to mention rei’s post in the same account was posted last april, she clearly lost the idgaf war

NewJeans really threatening them.

Starship needs to be investigated, what a shady company.

It baffles me how a starship employee just saying hmm in random posts of equals to nj threatening starship/ive. ive it girls in south korea, rich and unbothered. tokkis are the ones who had to scan everything they could possibly find to feed this rivalry so really who are the ones actually feeling threatened here?
