I'm excited for this debut but disappointed in the quality. This looks like something a low tier company would release.

So disappointed over the quality. Seriously, is RBW a nugu or a mid-tier company? Why are they giving D1verse such crap video? Rbw is supposed to be bigger than 6thS and St.319 together, and still can't deliver a better quality than these companies. I guess the subtle discrimination we are so used to from koreans are showing up again. Oneus or Mamamoo for that matter would never have been given such low production value. How can D1verse be the game changer we thought they would be when get this such a treatment?

At least this photo looks good.

I was really upset when I saw the video because they don't deserve this for all that they went through, especially with a company as known as RBW. I hope the song is good and catchy to get some attention. Has V Live Heartbeat announced Feb's performers yet?

The thing, aesthetic is as important as the song itself since D1vese is a vietnamese Kpop group. When given this such poor quality, they will be laughed at in Vietnam. I feel RBW already ruined their momentum. 

No idea about the V Heartbeat lineup.

They made a mistake with their pre-debut MV, and then this is a step up yet still terrible. I am so disappointed.

I fear D1verse is already ruined by this mistreatment. Yeah it's mistreatment in my eyes. Would RBW give a cheap quality to Mamamoo, Oneus or even Vromance? Even if Vromance is neglected, they never got such a bad quality MV. This has to do with the koreans thinking D1verse is vietnamese and not worth investing a good video. Nobody gonna tell me Rbw is poorer than 6thSense and ST.319, that made mv's that look more like Kpop standard than what Rbw gave D1verse. This is just a insult if you aske me to vietnamese. 

There are three vietnamese Kpop group active at the moment: SB Entertainment where Ivone is signed to are holding auditions, NV Ent with Nhaccuatui GG project and IF Entertainment. I'm hopefully all of them gets a better debut than D1verse. LIME with nugu V&K even managed to give them a proper MV.

I hope next week MV teaser is NOT what we were shown yesterday. Since Rbw released their plans for D1verse upcoming debut, they might have seen the reactions online and may improve the quality. Like they did with Bring It Low. But still, there is also a chance the MV will get a poor quality.

That is what I hope, but there's a short lead time between now and the MV release, that I wonder if they would be able to make any improvements without needing to delay the MV release.

I think if they were a Kpop group with korean members, Queen and Roy may get attention from Vietnam. Sadly, they are like nobodies there. I barely see any interviews or anything of Zpop in vietnamese media. Another thing is they get overshadowd by the indonesian and filippino members. 

I hope the next batch vietnamese members will get more popularity and in demand from vietnamese media. That can only happen if they sing in korean and promote on korean shows. One of the next generation Z-Boys member is a former Kpop idol. So maybe they will have a chance to promote in Korea for real by now?

Ad for Vinfast, but the song is nice.

I think with a Korean member they can go on Korean shows, but I don't know if it will be popular shows though. Maybe smaller shows. What's the name of the ex-Kpop idol and what group was he/she from?

Honda Taichi, former Blanc7 member. He's half korean and half japanese, so technically the second batch has a korean member.

If they got to perform on SBS the show or Arirang Simply K-pop, I think the interest for them from Vietnam will increase a lot. Vietnam has been dying to see a viet Kpop idol for years. So even if this is not 100% Kpop, seeing fellow vietnamese performing on korean stages would get them hyped.

Better than that awful trailer last week, but still not so good. The song sounds more encouraging than the video. But I get it now Rbw won't invest that much money because they are vietnamese. It's clearly a subtle discrimination when even Jin Ju got a decent video quality than D1verse. I suggest Rbw use vietnamese ekips like UNI5 does to fund a better MV next time if they won't want to spend their own money so much. The question is with this underwhelming visual video, will it be a next time for them?

First, I'm glad that they are being promoted on 1theK. At least there's that in addition to their regular channel. I'm happy that they didn't continue with the cheap filter from the last video either.

But I'm not liking the snippet of the song at all. The quality of the MV still looks cheap. They have the right sets that you typically see in mid-2000's Kpop music videos, but as you said they should have just  gotten another camera team to film it better. You can still have a low budget set but with the right camera team, they can make it work and here it just looks hella cheap -- even the clip transitions seem outdated.

Just two more days to see how this goes.

I wish St 319 would work on a GG and at least let the Monstar members work on solo music projects if they can't promote as a group.

It's clear as daylight that RBW and their partner Kakao M doesn't seem D1verse as a worth of investment. My question to them: If you don't believe in them, why start all of this? I mean what is their main goal for D1verse? Is it to develope and contribute to VPOP? Or is it just a gimmick? If it's the first thing, then they are doing it completely wrong. Almost all new VPOP videos nowadays are so much better than what Rbw is giving D1verse. Kakao M is rich as hell and Rbw is not a nugu company and have resources. This to me is just a insult and slap in the face for Vpop and Vietnam in general. Koreans needs to stick their heads out of the xenophobia sand and start acting more respectful.

Young Ju was missing from the video. She left RBW? Same with Vromance.

I didn't know that all of those Vietnamese singers were with RBW! That's a surprise. Lou Hoang has been doing decent from the releases I have seen. VRomance's one member was there. I guess the other 3 weren't available just like how only Byul was representing Mamamoo?
