    "The originality from KiiiKiii's pre-debut song "I DO ME" reminded me of the same originality felt with NewJeans' "Attention"

    "In 2022, there was a game changer like KiiiKiii who appeared in the K-pop market like a comet. It was New Jeans."

    "While KiiiKiii has captured public attention in an instant, NewJeans has been bogged down for months by an exclusive contract dispute with their agency, Ador. The members of NewJeans have even changed their team name to NJZ, hinting at independent activities, but Ador insists that their previous contract is still valid and is pushing back. To make matters worse, while new groups are preparing to rise up from below, those at the top are unable to escape as they might wish.

    Fans, too, can't keep quenching their thirst with NewJeans' past songs forever. At this time, a new rookie group, KiiiKiii, is set to debut and could potentially serve as an alternative to NewJeans. With their distinct personalities and solid skills, KiiiKiii is expected to show a different charm from NewJeans. The question remains: will KiiiKiii be able to grow into the leader of the K-pop trend?"

    Seriously they're even trying to do negative viral marketing against NewJeans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
    They used the exact same promotion manner as NewJeans and now they don't want to be associated with NewJeans
    But at the same time, they want to be viewed like NewJeans


    I know that all groups resort to viral marketing tactics lately
    But if Starship was this confident over KiiiKiii, they wouldn't need to use NewJeans to make them viral no?
    Have you ever seen NewJeans use people like BlackPink to mediaplay when they debuted?
    Starship makes is so obvious that they're from a f*cking small agency
    At first, even when they revealed KiiiKiii, they pretended to be commoners and saying stuff like "Starship has so much sense" while creating fake egg accounts. And why are they dragging IVE too?

    "If you think of their sunbaes like WJSN and IVE, KiiiKiii definitely does not look like they're from the same "Starship""

    IVE has succeeded in a small agency obviously because they have members who are pretty and good harmony between them, but they also have Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin whose power you can't neglect. Starship thinks that they succeeded thanks to them so now they're even dragging their own agency's artists ㅋㅋ A small agency is a small agency

    I'm not slandering KiiiKiii, but you can't blatantly exploit your successful group to make noise marketing like that and think that they will hit as big as your existing group.


    3. [+90, -12]
    For real, NewJeans never claimed to be the 2nd BlackPink ever since they debuted ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They were confident in themselves. Meanwhile. KiiiKiii can't help but use NewJeans in their viral marketing

    Those fools forgot the hard work that went behind all the negative virality IVE received? ㅋㅋㅋ IVE was able to endure because they’re at that level, but without the ability to learn, people think that even if Yujin and Wonyoung get criticized, it's just negative virality.... I'm an idol fan, and people never blame idols for failures, but always blame the companies.

    ㅋㅋ Why are they so messy?

  • These K-pop stans make me so happy that my stupid teenage opinions are confined to dead message boards.


    "Forced virality"


    You might as well make an article on K-pop Twitter posts. Glad I didn't give this a click.

  • This is exactly why Tokki are so fed up. People said fans were overreacting, but this is really too much. Some Hybe stans are suddenly token stan this group just to drag NJ. So no wonder the fandom is upset. And now here, their company is even using NJZ’s tough situation as media play. Like, how do you take inspiration from them and then trash them at the same time?


    What makes it worse is that Starship isn’t even trying to hide it. If you check NJ’s Naver search ranking, this new group is ranking higher than NJ in their own fucking search. How is that even possible?


    They really need to realize that negative viral marketing can backfire, even if it gets people talking. And if people remember well, SS did this to Wy before when Ive still rookie and girl survive because she's THE Wonyoung.

  • "Forced virality"

    Right. Like, the call is coming from inside the house. The same fans screaming "forced virality" are the ones drawing comparisons to NJZ for whatever reason. When will they realize that KiiiKiii is going viral because they can't shut up about them :?:

  • You..believe this :meme-excuse-me: ?

    Yeah, because it's a pretty common and cheap tactic used by businesses—honestly, a pretty stupid one to apply in the entertainment industry. Like the article itself even mentioned NJZ's dispute with their company, even though it's not related to the topic at all. And why is that? Kinda surprised you think so highly of these companies that you find it hard to believe they capable to do that.

  • Only time will tell if this will hurt kiiikiii in the long run. I genuinely think its a non issue, even if sse wants kk to be like njs theyre absolutely nothing alike and in the future i think this "controversy" will look more and more stupid. Starship look stupid trying to attach kk to njs while their marketing, the members and their music are already speaking for themselves. Bunnies look stupid for claiming inspiration or wtv is the highest form of flattery but cant stfu about this while no one else cares. And most of all, this forced hate on a group that barely debuted yet looks stupid asf. Theres just so many layers

  • Bunnies look stupid for claiming inspiration or wtv is the highest form of flattery but cant stfu about this while no one else cares.

    :meme-what:


    What alternate reality did you just post this message from?


    This is such an obliviously tone deaf message to type when this article explicitly name drops NJZ multiple times and even drags their dispute with HYBE into the media play while talking about replacing them.


    It really you should be studied how all you people expect Bunnies to tolerate that type of bullshit and hold them to an impossible standard you don't even hold yourselves to.


    You'd be the first one foaming at the mouth if I made a remotely shady HYBE thread, and that's just a random worthless thread on AKP, compared to actual media play from a company.

  • And now here, their company is even using NJZ’s tough situation as media play. Like, how do you take inspiration from them and then trash them at the same time?


    What makes it worse is that Starship isn’t even trying to hide it. If you check NJ’s Naver search ranking, this new group is ranking higher than NJ in their own fucking search. How is that even possible?

    Critical thinking or even basic reading comprehension is just a lost concept amongst kpop fans.


    You can explain yourself to death, explain the issue isn't with the group but the company, explain why you don't want articles about your group being forgotten and replaced by another pushed in their own search results and you will still be met with a bunch dumbasses crying crocodile tears about us hating on rookies and accusing everyone of plagiarism. Negative mediaplay explicitly at NJZ's expense is supposed to be something we overlook now or else we're the problem?


    This is becoming less and less a forum of discussion and more just a place to generalize and compete for who's the most toxic.


    For whatever reason, Starship thinks the girl group who's "only impact is their lawsuits and short legacy" has more branding power and public interest than the so-called #1 girl group in the same company that they aren't even trying to use to promote this group. Says a lot

  • It would only be upsetting if It was true. Starship looks pathetic doing this but its worth noting the only ppl that keep feeding this non issue are bunnies. Perfectly understable to hate sse for this, but its worth noticing that this is precisely what they seem to want, considering theyre stirring shit for publicity and bunnies are literally the only fandom feeding it. Im not part of the fandom and idk how i would react, i just know that sse looks dumb doing it and like i said in the future i am sure this controversy will look even stupider bc so far, theres barely any ground as the GG barely debuted. Only if you count their choices of promotion, but then would make no Sense to be so proud of njs paving the way then whining about It at the same time.

    ...did you read anything I said? This has nothing to do with NJs "paving the way"; save that kind of oft regurgitated nonsense for the demented little 7s.


    What is NOT okay is bringing up NJ's legal disputes in the article AND asserting their replacements are on the way.


    Let me be a little more blunt.


    Tf does that need to be said for other than to generate clicks and create a spicy headline to stir up any kind of engagement.


    Bunnies have a right to be pissed about this. And if I was a fan of KiiKii, I'd be pissed at this kind of media play being used to push the group as well.

  • Well then i guess stay pissed off, not sure if theres much else to do tbh, genuinely. But tokkies surely have the right to be pissed off about Starships mediaplay, not denying that. I still think both sides look stupid but who am i to judge as i am not the one affected by this. Good luck



  • But someone else said something interesting...that Starshit is using viral marketing (even negative marketing) to get folks paying attention to the album release.


    And tbh it's worked a little. I wouldnt have even bothered to watch their prerelease if it werent for some of the back and forth between Kiii fans, NJ fans, and even Heart fans.
