They’re still at the time when they need to gather fans, but starting from the second half of 2023, they gave out poor tracks, ran a cost-effective promotions, stopped overseas promotions, and just kept going on tours, being used as a cash cow. They hoarded the good songs, made money, and then funneled it into new artists.
Starship said they’d go public, but while running things poorly and cheaply, they suddenly didn’t go public and instead used IVE’s money to develop new artists. No wonder the support for IVE seems lacking compared to their level. How badly did they want to make a quick profit…
IVE has earned the most money among the 4th-gen girl groups, but I now understand why it always felt like something was lacking.
They’ve wasted so many good opportunities, stopped overseas promotions, had no fan engagement, neglected the group, caused controversy, and destroyed the team, and now I see their real intentions. The new staff they hired have all gone over to that side as well.
It feels like betrayal + deprivation ㅎ
That being said, I don’t hate the new kids. It’s the company that’s the problem.

The kids are pretty, Annyoungz have the general public’s popularity. They earn so much money. But the way they reinvested all that money to the new group is nasty… IVE would’ve been so successful if they reinvested the money in themselves instead

They helped make all the money just to be left like that…ㅎ I don’t want to hate them, but I can’t help but hate them. I don’t even want to support them anymore. They stole everything that IVE brought and it pisses me off when I think of it… They’re thieves… Starship seriously are such a turn off..

Making them come back only once last year was too much… Because they went on hiatus for the rest of the year, so many rumors of them flopping started circulating..

It got better lately, but their concept photos’ cost-effectiveness was severe ㅋㅋ They earned so much money, they should’ve at least went public or reinvest in them. Starship needs to wake up if they want to grow. IVE could’ve gained the public’s recognition. This makes me so mad

Since IVE’s debut until I AM, they were able to grab both the domestic public and international fans’ reactions. They had so many opportunities to hit big. I can’t believe how they were ruined like that
