IVE went into MissA's footsteps, Suzy still lives well but does Wonyoung have the same potential as her senior?

After nearly 2 months of debut, rookie Thi Phi IVE is still a name that attracts the media with all kinds of scandals without precedent in history.

In addition to a series of "scams" about talent and attitude, one of the issues that Kpop fans are most concerned about right now is the excessive bias of the management company Starship for 2 former members of IZ * ONE - Jang. Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin.

At first, it was just suspicions raised by fans, now this statement becomes even more "firm" when Starship itself does not even bother to hide its intention to turn IVE into a group of "Miss A and friends" with traditional tricks. openly communicated. Recently, a netizen has also compiled "evidence" to denounce Starship on this issue. The clip is going viral on social networks, attracting the attention of netizens.

TV show

IVE has only debuted for 2 months, so the number of shows that the group participates in is really not many. But even so, all opportunities so far have mostly gone to Wonyoung and Yujin. The duo of former IZ * ONE members, especially Wonyoung, once caused a stir on Korean social networks when appearing on the popular TV show Knowing Brother, then Radio Star.

Private intro at year-end music show

IVE's own stage at the year-end music show SBS Gayo Daejun 2021 once created a fierce controversy when Wonyoung appeared with a white outfit that stood out more than the black outfit of the sisters, turning IVE into a group of "Wonyoung" and back-up dancers".

But that wasn't the only problem IVE had that day. When performing the song ELEVEN, the group was favored to have their own opening 30 seconds, but Starship still decided to give the spotlight to Wonyoung and Yujin. The 2 girls have a lot of close-up zoom scenes, freely posing in front of the camera. While the remaining 4 members only appear faintly and briefly when the melody of the song plays.

Collab stage

Another reason why IVE's fandom is so disgruntled with Starship is that Wonyoung - Yujin can represent the group to participate in all year-end collab stages at 3 major stations while the other 4 members never get the chance. show up unless you have to perform ELEVEN.

The end of 2021 music festival spends a lot of time performing on female idols. If Starship promotes properly, IVE can break through with equal fame for all 6 members. But unfortunately that didn't happen because the two former IZ*ONE members were always pushed too hard.

Number of times to turn the ending fairy and be selected as the thumbnail image

Even during the promotion of the song ELEVEN, the spotlight seemed to focus only on Wonyoung and Yujin. Weekly music shows like Show Champion, Inkigayo, Music Bank, Show! Music Core actively uses both images as thumbnails for videos posted on YouTube. The task of becoming the ending fairy is also fixedly divided between Wonyoung or Yujin, making the remaining 4 members of IVE as the background for the 2 girls to shine.

Not only fans but also any netizen are "out of words" before Starship's unfair promotion plan. Netizens agree that the remaining 4 members have the same potential as Wonyoung and Yujin and deserve to be given an equal opportunity.

- Liz is both pretty and sings well, her explosive potential is so obvious. I don't understand what Starship thinks and ignores this guy?

- Wonyoung and Yujin are already popular, now we have to focus on pushing the rest.

- It's a pity for IVE to join a dirty media company like Starship!

Wonyoung gets a lot of hate for being pushed too hard. Starship just likes to put her on top of the waves.

- The curse of 6 members is terrible! Looks like Starship released IVE just to keep Wonyoung and Yujin warm. Poor the rest of you.

In addition, there is an opinion that Starship is too abusive of "dirty media", deliberately putting Wonyoung on the "top of the storm" to be a "sacrificial" for anti-fans. It is true that IVE is living in the days of "the more cursed, the more famous", but being famous in a scandalous way is difficult to go the long way.

Many people suddenly remembered MissA's unhappy disbandment and the suspicion that Suzy was ostracized by the whole group in the past. If you are not careful, IVE can hardly avoid going in the footsteps of the JYP g.irl group. Suzy doesn't need MissA to live well, but does Wonyoung have the potential to play solo and still maintain her top popularity like her senior?
