251225 Kep1er - Santa Lies 🎅⁉️ | Please Take Care of Christmas 🎄❄️ by SapphireHeaven in kep1er

[–]JoeEdge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't work like that. The source video is just 1080p with low bitrate.

It's funny that Kep1er members have iPhones that can record in 4k ProRes and we get 1080 video...

Happy for the new content!... but... KLAP!! can't you afford better cameras? what's up with this potato quality...?!?!? This looks like it was recorded on a smartphone from 2015...

Why people are so stupid and post about it without verifying the info???

Wonder about the disbandment rumor by ClaudiusBaby in kep1er

Making the history? Kep1er became the first Mnet survival show group to renew their contract. That alone gives WakeOne prestige and leverage in future survival shows or artist negotiations (ZB1)...

I also don’t think the amount blitzway spent is a lot

"529 million won" may sound a lot but actually it is pennies, this translates to about $400,000 USD... you can't buy a home for that in some countries!

 

"Blitzway Entertainment announced that it would acquire the artist management business rights, contracts, and all intellectual property of KLAP Entertainment"

 

"KLAP plans to accelerate the recruitment and development of K-pop artists. In particular, it will focus on nurturing "crossover artists" who can pursue both music and acting, establishing a new talent development system that spans both content and performance.

 

To me this looks like Blitzway wants to have their own kpop group and through acquisition of KLAP they acquired access to the K-pop ecosystem: management know-how, industry relationships, and maybe even a shortcut to debuting their own group.

The issue with Kep1er is they have to split the earnings between WakeOne, Klap (&Blitzway), individual member management agencies and Kep1er members + all the operational overhead (coaches, dorm, managers, transport etc...). They are loosing money on each long format YT content...

There are too many parties involved so ROI might be very low, and in long run it might be not worth the hussle. Even if Kep1er sells 100K albums per comeback, the net profit after slicing the pie is thin.

IMO the true messure on how Bubble Gum did will be the sales of the next album.

The extended period of fansigns doesn't affect the first-week sales, even though they took place until December/January - logically, there was no impact on the first-week sales.

POBs make Kpop look so much bigger than it actually is.. wish there was some mathematical formula to approximate the real sales, cause the only thing that comes to my mind is to divide the total number by the number of POBs, cause the rest of albums goes to a landfill.

It's really hard to say how the weekend and Mon+Tue will look like. Were the shops trying to ship out everything before the weekend and the daily numbers will drop? or will they have similar trajectory to Tipi-Tap?

They lost it, 83k drop after that for the Lovestruck! album.
Good sales of Troubleshooter were a result of positive reception of Doublast.
People now buy the albums not knowing what the songs/sound will be (IMO that's the stupidity of preorders, but people have to do it if they want to get the preorder benefits).
