Is IST  Entertainment which is under Kakao who merged Cre.ker, Plan M Entertainment, etc.

The company has The Boyz, Apink, Weeekly, Victon, ATBO, etc.

 

First of all, this is their Twitter account

 

 

They posted about ATBO who performed on Inkigayo yesterday (but not The Boyz)

 

 

They only posted ATBO's Music Core performance (not The Boyz)

 

 

 

For the Music Bank performances, they only posted Weeekly and ATBO's performances (not The Boyz)

 

 

For the anniversary stage for the National Liberation Day, they only posted ChoBom (not The Boyz)

 

 

"The Boyz Younghoon, to be the special MC on 'Inkigayo' today (21st)"

 

Of course, there were so many news about The Boyz but they never posted anything. 

They never posted about their stages and compared to the other idols' news, they posted very little about The Boyz' news.

 

Their Insta account is even more strange.

The Boyz made a comeback but they posted nothing about it.

 

 

 

 

 

There are only ATBO, Apink, ChoBom, Victon and Weeekly on their feed but there's nothing about The Boyz

 

original post: here

 

1. But isn't The Boyz their most successful artists? Why are they like that?

 

2. Isn't The Boyz the ones with the biggest fandom in that company?? Why are they doing this?.. I don't get it. But wasn't their hiatus due to their concerts overseas? I think I heard about it somewhere... anyways, I'm not a fan but from the perspective of someone who listens to their song, their power was pretty good after Kingdom so it kinda feels like they were randomly put on a hiatus

 

3. I didn't even know that The Boyz had a comeback..

 

4. I liked them when they were in Cre.Ker but after they merged, there was such an obvious change.. in a bad way....

 

5. Hul, they didn't even have a comeback showcase...

 

6. This is just my speculations but maybe there are different people in charge of this based on their head quarter rather than just one PR person for IST?... So maybe the person in charge of The Boyz just missed it...? But I do agree that this is a shame

 

7. Can't the fans protest if this is only happening after the merger?

 

8. But if they do that, they'll never be able to grow their other boy groups no? So just why would they do that? Shouldn't they take care of The Boyz more so that they can grow bigger? I don't understand

 

9. Even up to their last comeback, they would make a company and post a bunch of choreography videos in the upcoming 3-4 days but this time, there's just nothing... I do feel like something changed compared to beforeㅠㅠ

 

10. I don't care if they have 1 or 2 head quarters. If that company is called IST, then shouldn't they post about all their artists? If they can't post about all of them, they they shouldn't have merged their companies' accounts into one and left it with their respective head quarters

All of the groups in IST debuted under Play M before the merger and afaik ATBO are Play M's trainees so maybe this is some kind of discrimination against TBZ for being non-Play M. Though it makes zero sense since they are making money from them just like they're making money from the other groups so idek

Maybe commenter #6 is onto something but they should still do better. It's like they're trying to give up on The Boyz and pushing them out to make room for ATBO (I don't think that's happening, but they're giving that impression).
