Publicize the issues of IST Entertainment.

Before raising the issue of the agency, I would like to explain the circumstances of the merger.

{[However, Cracker Entertainment has a group of the Boys. If you can't expand your artist portfolio the company decided to make changes to its subsidiary management strategy. Kaka OENTTER merged with Playementter and Crackerentter Suggested. PLAYM Entertainment is a survival corporation, but my new signboard after sub-tuning is new as EntersaIt is the policy of launching crabs.]}


In November, Kakao Entertainment promoted a merger with Play M Entertainment, which continued to raise trainees, under the pretext that Cracker Entertainment did not develop new talent and thus the future investment value would decrease. Entertainment was divided into 2 and 3 divisions to implement the headquarters system.


The Boyz fans expressed concern about the news of the merger, but they did not complain about the merger any longer due to the public opinion that there would be no major changes due to the headquarters system.


However, after the merger, the behavior of the agency has changed to the point of being disastrous. Therefore, we would like to publicize the problems of IST Entertainment after the merger.


1. Comeback Showcase


Before the merger, Cracker Entertainment had to hold a showcase or a comeback show on the day of the comeback unless there were special circumstances. The comeback promotion, which had been ongoing even after Corona, disappeared after the merger. Contrary to the opinions of fans who said 'Isn't there a schedule', it was confirmed that there was no schedule after the release of the soundtrack on the day of the comeback, causing many fans to burst into anger.


2. The Boyz missing from the agency's official accounts


Despite the merger, there are no posts about The Boyz on IST Entertainment's Instagram. Even in the Chuseok greetings of the artists who were officially uploaded by the agency, only 'The Boyz' is missing. confirmed that. Many fans are expressing doubts about whether the agency is discriminating against artists.



3. Absence of choreography practice video (whisper comeback )
There were many fans who were dissatisfied with the irregular self-content upload cycle, but I think that there is little room for production due to the members' health condition and excessive schedule. There were also many fans who understood despite the fact that their content was quite small among idols. However, since it has been over a month since their comeback, even choreography videos that do not have financial and time burdens are not uploaded.
4. Existing director replacement and lack of own content

Among the videos that Cracker Entertainment has consistently posted, major contents that are no different than The Boyz's identity have disappeared after the merger. Many fans are complaining about the fact that the team that previously produced The Boyz video from Cracker Entertainment to the last album 'Maverick' did not participate in the 'Whisper' activities from this time. There was also a sleeping public opinion. However, compared to The Boyz's videos, which were well received by a large number of people, it became an activity with a lot of disappointments, and videos showing unique visual beauty or uniqueness no longer appear. In addition, the upload of the video (A to BOYZ) showing the individual identity of the members has been stopped as only a portion of the member's video has been produced. In this regard, fans are expressing dissatisfaction with the merger and the operation of IST Entertainment's 1st headquarters.
5. Slow content upload period

Most idol producers who go on a world tour produce content for fans who wait while their members are away. However, during The Boyz's tour, their content was rather small, and they did not even upload a behind-the-scenes video during the tour. Right now, the behind-the-scenes video of the US tour was uploaded two months after the video was recorded, and most of the remaining tour videos are not uploaded even after three months have passed.
6. Quarterly filing of complaints and absence of detailed result notices

In February of this year, IST Entertainment announced that it was planning to file a formal complaint and investigate the author of malicious posts after the notice of legal action. Many fans are feeling frustrated because it is not announced. As a result, many fans requested continuous feedback through the official fan cafe and company mail, but this was also not accepted. Fans are concerned about the safety of artists due to malicious comments spreading serious rumors slandering The Boyz and invasion of privacy. We request a strong response to various persistent malicious comments directed at artists and notification of the progress and results of the complaint.
The agency tends to generate revenue by protecting artists and supporting their activities. However, the current IST Entertainment is not only taking a completely different course from that of Cracker Entertainment in the past, but is also unable to fulfill the basic role of an idol agency as described above. Even though it is not enough to fully support artist support with this rising trend, many fans are complaining of frustration at the agency, which is showing an easygoing attitude.

I want to ask.
Is it true that the manpower of Cracker Entertainment in the past is still there?
Is there anyone currently working at IST Entertainment Headquarters 1?
Do you think the promise of merging with 'to provide more creative and meaningful content for fans and artists to communicate happily' is being fulfilled? 

 The comments:

Cracker was a lot better back then, but after the merger, the coordination became weird and the quality of the song and concept was lower than before. I want to tell them that they do not respond at all and that they should properly issue a complaint notice. 👍156 👎02

 
This time, I hope you will accept the feedback. the artists want to become better, so I worry a lot, but I am upset because the company I want to support doesn't do it properly. 👍123 👎02

 
There was no publicity and there was a long hiatus, but there was no choreography until the day of the album MV shooting, and in the end, there was no showcase, is this correct? A general small agency will do better than this. 👍119 👎02

 
I was an idiot who thought it would be the same even if it was merged with the headquarters system 👍101 👎01

 
To be honest, it's the first time I've ever been so afraid to lose weight because of a company. 👍04 👎00.

Isn't The Boyz the most profitable team in that company right now? If you look at the comments below, if you fight and the record is that low, the profit will be fine as a team. 👍06👎01.

 
There is no choreography video that has been released before, there is no concert behind-the-scenes video, there is no Chuseok video. What are you doing? Even within The Boyz, they come out just by looking at the members who are swearing, they don’t just eat swearing, they even sexually harass them, but they don’t even sue them. 👍08👎00
