You know. The way you and other doomposters are talking, you'd think IVE didn't chart at all and massively underperformed expectations.

Let's look at the facts.

They have a top 3 song and their other title tracks are top 30.

They had their highest first day album sales.

Your enjoyment of their music is completely subjective.

Calling this comeback horrible and acting like the sky is falling faster than Wonyoung out of that airplane in the I Am MV is really over the top.

IVE will be fine.

If not charting as well as NewJeans is a failure, then there have been no successful groups in K-Pop this year. People need to relax!

I didn't say it is a failure because it didn't chart as well as Newjeans.

Kitch and I AM reached both 450k and 550k uls respectively and I AM reach 1.4M Spotify Global and have bigger longevity. However, this comeback didn't even reach 200k uls for their Baddie and OTR ,and it didn't enter the global spotify chart. It isn't a flop, but clearly Starship did something wrong that lead to a lower result than what they usually get.

Starship clearly don't know what they are doing with this comeback. Starship should have never followed NJ's to release 3 titles track and the song quality definitely didn't keep up as well so instead of building hype, it kinda lose hype instead. IVE is not those very talented group with good vocal and dance nor they are strong performers on stage as well. Starship failed to see what make IVE popular and chart well. It is because of their pretty face, and their fun and melodic song. Starship took that away and couldn't chart both side now.

Starship should have never target west unless they absolutely know how to do it, but imo Starship clearly doesn't have any idea how to.

Next comeback is important because this bad comeback may lost some listener in both domestically and internationally. I wouldn't rise another comeback to break into the west. They need to go back to their safe zone after this horrible comeback.

The editor who put that picture in make the situation 100 times more worst than it should.

Why do people named so many "it" girls when there should only be one in each gens? There are many popular idols in each gens, but there is only 1 it girl.

The only it girl in 2nd gens is Suzy, 3rd gens is Jennie and 4th gens is Wonyoung.

You don't call everyone who is popular a it girls. Minji is not even close to Wonyoung to be called a it girls.

The truth is no one is gonna surpass them.

reach what IU achieve isn't as easy as people think it is.

IU not only have strong digital, but her physical is also very high for a soloist which is pretty hard to achieve as a soloist. I am talking about soloist who came from soloist not coming from a popular/top tier group.

IU debut as a soloist when group is dominating. It is not a easy task for going toe to toe with group. Right now, No one even coming close to her right now like I said above, I'm talking about soloist who debut as a soloist.

She reached 500k physical sales, entire album charting top 10 with high uls, gp support and not simply fandom streaming. Successful in acting field and being at the top for more than 10 years and still continually growing right now.

What annoyed me is when they said "rookie did this!", "rookie did that!", " "they are just 20 days old" , etc.. is dumb af.

We all know ROokie from big 4 can get big anytime and pull out strong number at debut that what big 4 privilege are lol

They should go enlist. Period.

I saw too many international kpop stan and army who know nothing and is supporting the exemption of BTS because of their huge global achievement. However, global achievement should never be consider as a reason for exemption.

and also for people saying "only controversial because it is BTS". This is a very very ignorant statement and really isn't true. Fans need to stop thinking everything against their faves is haters. Military service for male citizen in Korea is a national duties and have been there for a long time. It is their culture.

I like the ending because it is realistic.

I have watched enough drama where writer just forcing a happy ending where sometime sad or not happy ending is a better ending than a happy ending

My day is ruined just like that, but I'm still happy for archer girl on it tho. It is my second favorite character in the drama but still sad Yi-Hyun isn't in it. I'm just watching her past variety for this sadness now .

and yeah, they better invite Yi-Hyun and Park Solomon in the future.

I'm not saying I'm not going to watch it, but it just disappoint me a bit that Cho Yi Hyun and Park Solomon not going to be on it. Park Ji-hoo is cute and I like how they give the other character with variety show tho.

I know that they will appear on Knowing Bros one day after the show become popular, but no Cho Yi hyun and Park Solomon when they probably the most popular amongst the cast??

They better have another episode with Cho Yi Hyun and Park Solomon alone or else I will be sad

Statistic based on Socialblade

Obviously the growth is not as much as Squid Game, but I'm glad they are starting to gain some popularity.

Quote from wizone4life

yeah, and also I think Namra is the second female lead character and that she cannot be too op to overshadow the first female lead Onjo.

and I agree with what you said about Eunji. When I first see Eunji being a hambie, I think Eunji and Gwi-nam is going ti have a fight and that she will take on a revenge on Gwi-Nam

and yet again, second lead get all the love from the viewers just like most of others drama. The actors who act as Nam-ra and Suhyuk gain many ig fans compare to the other. They both are 3m+ now.

Also, no offense I have watched her variety show as a quest. A lot of people said she is cute, but she kind fake to me.

Quote from wizone4life

I am just wondering why they couldn't use Namra to escape when she is half-bie state so she is not going to get bitten by zombie so she could just use herself to help the others.

They including herself didn't know what kind of state Namra is in. They never witness zombies ignoring Nam-ra like how they ignore Gwi-nam.

They didn't acknowledge the power Nam-ra had and how those power can actually easily save them from zombie. However, let be real here if Nam-ra just destroy the zombie like a superhero and easily save them from everything then the show will be bored.

Also, remember that we as a viewer has so much information than them like we know there is hambie that don't attract zombie, but they didn't know anything about it.

I do hope that there is the plot where they realize zombie will ignore Nam-ra and that she used herself to save the group in the last episode.

Also, they definitely missed Eunji vs Gwi-nam in the plot. Eunji become a hambie like Gwi-nam and I thought Eunji as the victim of bullies will do her revenge on Gwi-nam.

see how netizen gonna jump on him and he 100% deserved

prove me wrong

Quote from caratnotcarrot

her album was amazing

fyi IU reached 800k on the first day for Strawberry Moon, Lilac and Celebrity.

only at 440k ULs peak.

flopped so hard

Quote from wizone4life

Will there any artist either than BTS or IU can outdo next level that should be question.

Will there any artist that can beat Next Level. I don't think there will be soon.

Even BTS's Butter, PTD and Universe didn't do better than Next Level and Next Level beat Celebrity and LILAC .

If what Dispatch revealed is true, it just proven that just because someone apologize, It doesn't mean that it is true.

Rose have a chance.

She got high digital and physical for her solo.

so she will beat IU in voting and physical.

if not, not doubt it going to be IU
