So about Wakeone...
this BDSA situation is so sad this company is a fcking shitshow. Dk the situation with attendance but voting?? Atleast acknowledge the nomination? it got to the point where hao had to address it. he himself must be so bummed out i can't imagine my company sabotaging my success. you mean to tell me, rosins/zeroses have been campaigning about the award show for the past few days on twitter and they didn't see it? how come they not promote voting?? i wanna know, being an unpromoted ost has been performing extraordinarily well! other companies would kill to have a fandom power like that. i'm not saying that the company mistreats him only, they genuinely don't care about their artists and deal things with sheer ignorance. they don't give a shit unless it directly fill their pockets. hanbin's situation back in september was never properly acknowledged, even after it creating such a ruckus among fandoms; jiwoong kept on receiving hate, since the situation was abandoned by the management after a while; taerae's ost wasn't promoted well enough, which could've been big as it was a pretty famous kdrama; ricky's sns silence was never addressed and whenever fans became loud, they slapped a weibo live onto our faces. i can just go on and on about how they're sabotaging the members and eventually zb1's success coz what wk1 doesn't realize is that these small things add up to the group's overall performance. other 5th gen peers are finally being recognized and entering the main kpop scene and not just seen as newcomers anymore, meanwhile zb1 having one of the biggest 5th gen debuts is still sidelined by the industry. one must argue that they're not from big4 but we're forgetting that they're still under cj which is a plus point like it proved to be in debut era.
what do they need rn? a revolution. almost everything needs to be changed. they need to be more consistent with their brand image which includes physical aspects: better makeup and styling; artistic aspects: better choreographies, music directors and producers even, photographers, mv directors; management: the entire pr and marketing team needs to be updated with younger staff who're familiar with industry trends (the current ones are working in 2016) and a whole lot of stuff. the only ones working there seem to be youtube editors and creative direction team (their ideas are really good but the execution process fails them almost every time🤡)
sorry for the rant, i am really pissed. wk1 burn in hell.
