Overall, I strongly believe that these are the wins that we should take for Kep1er! Most of this extension in a huge positive for Kep1er, Mashiro, and Yeseo. But based on WAKEONE's track record, they need to do better for Kep1er starting with this new comeback and onward.

Kepi is my favorite group. I've been with them from a planet guardian to a Kep1ian. I am saddened that OT9 isn't going forward, but I do love and adore Limelight, and we should all, as Kep1ians, show them love and support. 94ever❤️
i would’ve e really wanted her to stay in kep1er… but at the same time i do understand because 143 entertainment does have plans after kep1er whereas the girls companies didn’t… but i also now want this to be an opportunity for wakeone to treat them fucking better.. we need better budget, better music that grabs attention
I mean, this is kinda nice, but for other part I really wanted Hiyyih to get out of there 😭 and debut in other company. As well as I wanted that for Xiaoting, Hikaru, Youngeun and Yujin, they deserve better honestly, but even if I don't really like it I support their decision 😔
I can not get the "Wakeone lack of support". I get that Keplians are dissapointed because Kep1er never skyrocketed like Ive, Lesserafim or Newjeans. They want to blame of Wakeone for everyting but in my opinion they did everything they could and more (including contract extension). Many argue that they could have given them "better title tracks" but there is not a magical formula and they did tried concept variations without much commercial success (in comparison with the mentioned groups). The people of Wakeone knows the kpop business much better than 99.9999% of us. IMO the members are (deservely) priviledged to be in a company that has a lot of financial resourses (Wakeone belongs to CJ-EMN which belongs to Samsung group), they are not concerned about money. The members do not have trainee debts, they have been in Queendom 2, the comebacks promotions are on the level of groups of the big 4, they participated in almost all the last Kcons everywhere, they are selling out venues in Japan. Ask the members of the following groups if all of that can be considered lack of support: Cherry Bullet, ILY:1, Lapillus, Lightsum, Rocket Punch, and other 30 groups that are struggling to get the same level of attention.
So, I could've touched on more points regarding Wakeone's lack of support. But the points you bring up such as Wakeone knowing the business more or they aren't concerned with money, while others have it worse does not justify the actual support that Wakeone has been providing since debut. If you noticed since debut, Wakeone had the opportunity to adjust/take advantage of the moment after noticing that 'Up!' did really well or even their Japanese releases. A good company would have done that and adjusted accordingly, but Wakeone didn't focus more/understand the what the public/fans are liking from Kep1er. I think they realized way too late/until now. In terms of money, if Wakeone wasn't concerned then why is the budget in Kep1er's MVs so inconsistent to warehouses with lack of set dressing and the usage of the typical default Diner for 'We Fresh'(?) Also, the little things matter too - they have the money but only gives Kep1er the bare minimum, for example every single birthday each member was given a small cake/cake in a styrofoam box whereas ZB1 is getting everything (the boys are not to blame, but is a difficult for Kep1er to be treated equally?). On another note, in every single era Wakeone overworked and neglected Kep1er. Ranging from all the members being sick, Chaehyun visiting the hospital frequently, Hiyyih being seen with multiple bruises, and etc. If you have seen their schedules, it was insane especially within the 'We Fresh' era. Back 2 back festivals/events with no variety show appearances for public exposure. Lastly, you need to realize that even top groups and artists from top labels don't necessarily have privileges. Examples being EXO and their unreasonable deals + overdue payments. Same goes with fromis_9 where we recently found out that Pledis is overdue on payments. People may think they started with privileges but they didn't, fromis_9 had a good track record already. Before their previous labels such as Off The Record (linked with CJ&M) and now Pledis is holding them back. So at the end of the day, it doesn't matter fully matter if an artist or group is under a top/well-established label or subsidiary. Mistreatment and lack of support can still be there, from the little things to obvious big issues.
@@Garrison_Wakeone has zero to do with cakes and stuff , ZB1 has a different management team and Staff compared to Kepler. Wakeone does their part , Kepler should get a new management team if y’all want them to have a better cake set up , music videos , and etc . Itzy also had a bad management team/staff but it’s getting better . Y’all blame Wakeone for everything when clearly the girls weren’t that upset with Wakeone and chose to extend their contract .
Exactly, Keplians just like to blame everything on Wakeone (as well as some Yuehua members from ZB1 who will probably leave anyways ) when it’s not Wakeone’s fault. They just need new management/staff for all the extra stuff.

Very well said! I feel ya on that, from being a planet guardian to a Kep1ian, it's been an amazing journey and we should support them all the way ^^
Kep1er and Limelight are both my ult group. So happy that Kep1er extends their contract.
I'm happy that they extended but a little bit sad because I don't want Kep1er to separate 😭, Kep1er is not complete without Mashiro and Yeseo
Sameee I'm OT9 for life. And I'm sure most of us are quite sad but we should definitely be happy for them!
This is upsetting, Kep1er will always be nine in out hearts ...
From Kep1er to Kep7er ☺️🗿
Happy to see they won't disappoint
And miss mashiro and yeso
I wish kepler get more recognitions
i would’ve e really wanted her to stay in kep1er… but at the same time i do understand because 143 entertainment does have plans after kep1er whereas the girls companies didn’t… but i also now want this to be an opportunity for wakeone to treat them fucking better.. we need better budget, better music that grabs attention
Add Fuko to this group
This is so true
MADEIN will debut soon Miu Suhye Gaeun Mashiro Yeseo Serina and Nagomi. Serina and Nagomi came from Produce 101 Japan.
Nice work
Thank you so much! This did take a lot of time due to editing ^^
For how many year they extend their contact??
Is it June 3rd or June 5th 😭?
June 3rd!
I mean, this is kinda nice, but for other part I really wanted Hiyyih to get out of there 😭 and debut in other company. As well as I wanted that for Xiaoting, Hikaru, Youngeun and Yujin, they deserve better honestly, but even if I don't really like it I support their decision 😔
