In between building myself a new desk earlier today for whatever reason I started thinking about this and wondered if there was still a better site to support rookie groups/idols instead of just the common ways (Social media, Streaming, promoting them, etc) like what Makestar used to do.
Some people appear to know Makestar or get it confused with Mwave (Mwave is underneath MNET who often does signed albums/goods/etc), while from what I remember Makestar did a lot of supporting to drama/OST related projects and merchandise, and considerably nugu groups.
Where if I remember correctly, I believe I remember seeing VANNER do promotion/support for their green coloured album (can’t think of the name right now…), and I think it was one of the first ‘projects’ VANNER ever did. They offered benefits and goods to different teirs/ ranks.
I’ve been checking in on Makestar every now and then just to see what’s there, and I can’t help but realize they’ve changed a lot to, not only is the website completely different to what I knew but it seems they do more fan calls, meet n greets, limited photocard events and stuff like this.
I remember supporting these two other rookie groups who never debuted and one comeback mv got cancelled and we ended up getting refunded, it kinda made me wonder I guess if that’s why Makestar kinda changed due to it being so unknown. A project could get funded but sometimes an entire debut or comeback gets scrapped and that’s a lot to deal with on its own. I really enjoyed that concept and thought it was really cool.
I guess I just wanted confirmation that this isn’t only me who remembers it being that way lol, and that it could be a possiblity. I have gotten a couple suggestions in the past but its mostly sites in Korea where its Korea only or very limited translations, and offering goods for people on site.
