A netizen shared their thoughts on “why IVE was abandoned by the public this time”
This netizen expressed disappointment and concern about IVE’s performance on music charts with “Either Way” and “Off The Record”.
The post discussed the importance of music being listened to during various activities, such as exercising, walking and driving, for a song’s success. However, it questioned whether IVE’s recent songs are suitable for this purpose, especially when compared to their previous dance-focused releases.
The author also criticized the decision to release 3 title tracks, suggesting that they were too ambitious and that the songs chosen, which were more subdued ballads, were not a good fit for the group.
Finally, the post hinted at a sense of disappointment with IVE’s management, suggesting that the decision to pursue this musical direction may not have been the best choice. The author clarified that they are not IVE’s anti-fan but simply expressed their thoughts out of concern for the group’s career.
