EXID caught red handed with their media play


Remember when I previously mentioned that companies would pay portal sites like Nate to shoot their articles to the top of the rankings to pretend they're popular?...

Yeah...

EXID who?

Article: EXID releases dance practice video, cute charms with their slender legs and adorable rabbit dance

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+42, -15] Thought they were wearing sneakers but it has heels.

2. [+24, -4] Is this the first time you guys are attempting media play? I was going to just leave after checking the fabricated best replies but I had to stop and post. Look at how JYP and SM does their media play and at least try to learn from it.

3. [+15, -0] Who are you...?

At the time of writing this, the article is the #1 article in the entertainment section of Nate, and yet look at how little the numbers for the vote ups in the best replies are. Best replies in the top 10 section usually have up to a thousand votes.

The other replies are along the lines of, "Who are they?", "Are they media playing because they have no talent?", "Nice advertisement", "Why are they trying to fabricate the best replies as well", "Why do EXID articles keep shooting to the top?", and "What should I have for lunch today?"

  5. I was surprised too. It was a no-brainer media play indeed. I didn't know they existed until today.

    BTW, just came to this site thanks to a friend who highly recommended it. THANK YOU for spilling K-pop's dirty little secrets. You all did every fan a favor.

    The funny thing is, the "best replies" are always typed up by people that think they're any better than these companies that pay articles to shoot up rankings.

  8. LMFAO it's hilarious! It's not very subtle : "cute charms with their slender legs and adorable rabbit dance" it just sounds so fake, especially since they have nothing special compared to other group hahaha.
    JYP and SM are definitely professional at media play :')
