Is Starship doing the worst media play for a rookie group in K-Pop history?

no one will shut up about them

stan kiiikiii for good skin!

I have good skin. Stanning for better health

they should stop it asap

and stop copying or using njz formula so closely

a direction or some inspiration is ok but heavy inspiraiton or referencing is not

that can fire back hard

specially after the whole hybe/illit sh*tshow last year!

same with h2h by the way, for their case, it would be better if their inspi were mostly snsd in a more trendy way, not fx/rv/njz.

copycats just look cheap and shameless .

and the whole thing can quickly turn malvolent in both ways .

It's a different division managing kk, dives should demand proper ttreatment for Ive especially considering that the special treatment kk gets now is thanks to Ive money, but they should be mad with Ives division, not kiiikiiis. Also, when starship applied the strategy they're doing with kk now in baddie era, everyone blamed sse, so ppl should make their fkin minds instead of just whining

Do dives even know that Ive has their own division😅?

I found out about it yesterday

Also Distribution thing should be on SSE not their division I think….

Anyways Distribution has became sh*t since Kakao took over SM, so I blame Kakao. Does Kakao manage Ive’s sales and distribution?

It was revealed before kk released their song, dives already knew it was a brand new division managing kiiikiii. About distribution we don't know yet, but if it happens then dives have the right to be mad. But rn they're mad over pure speculation

Quote from Yama-Chan

Oh sorry, fam. New Friendly Rivalry episode dropped and that got all my attention immediately.

Let me help you both.

From the musical style to the detailed concepts, Kiki has set herself apart from NewJeans. The members running through vast nature presented a fresh yet dreamy Bohemian mood, showcasing a captivating charm.

Particularly, the members expressed a free-spirited and dynamic energy not commonly seen in girl groups—placing ladybugs on their faces, climbing trees, tumbling in a grassy field, and performing aerial spins on a trampoline.

With this, KiiiKiii has made a smooth start in creating a unique path, distinct from both her senior idol group, IVE, and the similarly compared NewJeans.

That last line did not sit any better with K-Dives than the nonsense about NJZ.

And I wouldn't have made this thread if I hadn't seen articles clearly by Dives bashing SS for things related to IVE that only Dives would know or care about, like the article Taemin-Identity

And today there is a new one with fans asking for Wonyoung and Yunjin to leave the company

I'm not making this up.

Thats just shady journalism that always existed Yama

A lion doesn't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep, even less shady underpaid journalists that write anything for clicks and comments

I think kpop fans are becoming more insecure each passing day.

This group didn't even debut yet, but we already see tons of kpop fans ready to drag them be it dives, bunnies, sme gg stans, and the only reason they are doing it it's bc they are insecure, but about what? Good question.. about what? This just happens bc of one reason: when you start thinking your faves success is also yours.

Let's breath, guys. These girls will end up debuting in the middle of a hate train. This isn't nice.

About articles: I can't say for sure it was paid by SS so I won't 100% condemn them. Years ago journalists loved to use BP and BTS name together and a lot of armys blamed YGE for this even though the source wasn't by YGE... The hate BP got in that time and still get is insane. Why do this to a not debuted group?

Let's be honest, how many journalists aren't writing shit just to get clicks? Idk, sometimes thinking it's good.

whatever shall we do

One of their top executives was caught leaving shady comments about Danielle on an IG post a year ago.

be so fr

The problem is this. SS can't be trusted.

Want to know something even funnier? They got caught following the NJZ IG account recently.

ShadyShip has me side eyeing their every move now.

Oh please, what company can be trusted? But you are basing this in NOTHING so what makes you right? Bc when the real njz copycat (sorry illit) debuted you were blinding defending them from people who were saying how they kinda looked like njz, etc, but now you 100% believe this is by SS?

Quote from icyruios

Also, this might be a bit off topic.

I used to wish Day6 just leave JYPE but they end up didn't. JYPE has always treated Day6 as their least favourite child, always prioritising other groups before them. StudioJ was infamously shitty and many fans were confused as to why Day6 continued with them.

Somehow, it all works out.

Bottomline is, the members will choose what they want to do. They themselves know what is best for them. Whether they want to continue, leave, disband, there is nothing I can do about it. I'll just continue supporting them in every way I can.

Yes, that's..very off topic.

Quote from Tatiana1820

Remind me when NJZ were filmed at the countryside feeding horses, juseyo

I hate how everyone just immediately puts the blame on the company and uses that to justify making comments that could be harmful to this new rookie group. I don't have any doubt that it could be mediaplay, but it seems to just be speculation at this point. How about maybe conducting yourselves like normal functioning human beings instead of flying off the handle immediately? But no one will, they will just say it's SSE's fault for doing mediaplay and continue being stupid. Not pointed at anyone here in particular, just saying in general....

Quote from crystalblues

Honestly, I used to wonder why Sistar wanted to leave so badly when they admitted that SS also invested a lot in them. Now that I see how their junior groups are constantly shoved in weird PR moves, like the Apple TV music documentary and now this. I understand why they bought their copyright to their name and bounced

Wasnt to focus on their solo career? Only soyou kept signed and another member focused on acting. Based on how peaceful their disbandment was I would assume they disbanded on good terms. Boyfriend is the group that had the worst treatment but that has little to do with mediaplay

Can’t be that severe…never heard about it. Probably you’re exaggerating as usual lol.

People are so obsessed with companies and saving idols lol.

It’s their life they will make the choices that’s right for them. People who always focus on companies and what they do are so cringe. They’re always in a biggest sob story competition. Part of EXO left and part stayed and these two groups are at their throats trying to prove “SM is good” vs “SM is the worst”. Like stfu it’s not YOUR life 😭

Just listen to the music and enjoy the product man. Let the idols deal with their own shit.

Anyway NJZ themselves are moving to some “mature” concepts, concepts have such a short window where they stay relevant that ppl who obsesses over them amuse me lol.
