Missing a 'neither' option 
I like the group and I hope they can get away with it and continue as NJZ but I can't really blame ADOR for trying to prevent it. The company invested a huge amount of money and time, it would be pure insanity to just let them walk away while under contract and do nothing about it.
KiiiKiii seems to be doing so well already and the album isn't even out yet.
I'm not really invested in this group (yet, I'm very close though) but it seems to be a best case outcome for Starship. If the main title track is good this group is definitely going places.
I think DIVEs have also warmed up a bit to this group after the initial mixed reactions. The concept being completely different from IVE helps a lot.
EDIT: Babymonster too, they're already dominating 5th gen but they can only go up
IVE taking the #1 spot seems inevitable. It's a rare case where a GG has charting, sales and fan voting power. Lately I've been surprised by how well DIVEs have voted on shows like MCD where Korean and non-Korean votes are equal. We used to get crushed in those.
All things considered though, music show wins are pretty silly and mostly come down to comeback timing. IVE EMPATHY is going for a record amount of wins because of the timing while IVE SWITCH that did similarly or even better in terms of charting and sales got ZERO wins.
Baddie is probably that song for me. The performances are great but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to the song. I also wouldn't skip it though. I love OTR and Either Way though so the comeback was still good.

Luckily they released a proper full encore because you can barely hear them sing in the fancam.
They did really well as MCs
I wonder if Liz wants to be a permanent music show MC, she seems to be enjoying it. Her deep speaking voice seems really nice for MCing. It's rather suspicious she's been a MuCore special MC twice now and they're about to announce the new MCs..
who even cares about those Longines watches, bracelets or whatever
I've never even heard of the brand before but I'm glad we got these looks served and the girls got paid
I think Girls was their only TT to peak and drop tbh
Girls and Dreams Come True are my favorite aespa TTs 
Another encore 
I do find it funny how everyone was praising IVEs comeback 2 weeks ago but now everything suddenly sucks just because KiiiKiii exists.
The complaints (not this specific one but another big theqoo post) are also bringing up stuff like crappy After Like concept photos or Gaeuls big shoes that happened multiple YEARS ago. It almost feels a bit forced.
I've really liked the concept photos, trailers and entire promotional schedule for the last 2 comebacks. I like the songs on IVE SWITCH more than the IVE EMPATHY but that's entirely subjective so it would be ridiculous to claim that "Starship isn't paying for good songs anymore". You can't just pump out guaranteed Love Dives every comeback by throwing money at it. They've been hiring some pretty big profile names.
I do still think it's good posts like these pop up on Korean sites, even though Starship have been improving they need to be constantly reminded to put maximum possible effort into IVE or public opinion could turn real fast.
Also, when has one of these 'find a new company for an existing group'-situations ever not resulted in a downgrade of everything? I've never seen it work out even once. It's usually the beginning of the end of an idol career.
They almost certainly signed new 7 year contracts at IVE debut anyway so they're not even halfway in which makes this topic even sillier.
The disastrous downfall of IVE needs to be studied, never seen a group flop this hard 
nvm it's a bop
starship seems to have endless financial support or smth bruh
Starship has a lot of money because they have the highest profits out of any of these companies. The financial results are public information. It's a cool theory you have going but good luck payolaing your way to the highest profit margins. It's more interesting how some companies are selling millions of albums and having massive spotify numbers yet are somehow losing money.
