How come IVE didn't end up like post-IOI groups?

[Thigh-high feminist]

Idk about all the groups created from Izone members (I've never watched Produce or paid the members much attention) but were their debus songs good cause I've's Eleven is good and the mv is eye catching?

One troublesome aspect is i feel like their agency has crossed a line (maybe not crossed but their toes are definitely on the line) with all of the alluring looks the members (all under aged, i believe) are throwing into the camera. They may have drawn the perv crowd but they aren't alone. Starship needs to tread carefully (something they aren't known to do with a gg).

Also, I may be wrong but maybe they are also benefiting from a very strong batch of 4th gen ggs (Aespa, Itzy, Purple Kiss, Stayc, Fromis, Nature, etc) and they've shown that they fit right in talent and visual wise.

Lastly, Wonyoung seems to be very popular so maybe she's also helping to draw interest?

idk but I'm happy for them and I hope they were rewarded by the agency for their win, they are off to a geat start.
