What's going on with Heesung in this performance? All the others are singing live over the backtrack but Heesung isn't, you can hear him breathing during his parts but he's not singing. And he's barely even moving his lips to make it look like he's lipsyncing

Have you wonder why former YG acts never sued YG? Because YG actually paid their artist well.

BPM is not a small company as people think. 

 

The parent company of BPM is Fact Invest. When they launched the company, their goal was to recruit idols to become in the TOP5 of entertainment by the end of 2013.

 

They have a deal with Million Market, one of Sm subsidiaries, also with Swing Ent, Double Sidekick and MLD Ent, they are slowly buying and eating them.

 

They are also creating their own artist communication platform, and buying into one of the big 7 of the streaming services.

 

They are going worse than HYBE and more aggressive.

NCT 127's last album - 1.94m

side note: i've always been a casual listener of IU and not really a big fan, but this song has been randomly hitting and im SO into it.

 

shes kinda superb, huh?

 

 

 

 

underrated song even though its her most popular with ifans (Eight doesn't count because of Suga's boost)

so many layers here

-a diss track but she is not just being cocky talking about be the best or something like that

-her intonation when she is quoting  netizens, showing how boring and repetitive they are

-and then the threat "dont cross the line"

it's so sassy 

the chill vibes just make the statement stronger

 

a demonstration of her creativity, that I hope will back in her 30s 

if not, I will pay a hacker to leak the scrapped Bbibbi EP:giraffe:

my arianator moment

SM debut a New Soloist to be the Modern day/Next Gen BoA.

We don’t need new groups anymore.

everyone having meltdown and EXO are probably chilling in one of their houses laughing with each other 

Not SM ******* around slave contracts in 2023 :toofunny3: K-pop industry is rotten to the core. 

 

I just hope boys don't end up blacklisted because they are entitled in every way to sue SM.

 

If the rumours about Taeyeon & Taemin are true then LSM really got his last laugh

When people complained about how Momoland never fully capitalized on the success of "Bboom Bboom" and I would say the people in charge were more concerned with saving themselves than coming up with the next nations girl group, and instead of taking the money they made and investing into further promotions, they used the money to extricate themselves from their situation so that the MLD company and the BPM company are the two functioning survivors from the Yedang/Wellmade financial waste dump.

 

Strangely, even though Shinsadong Tiger is the one who came up with the song, he was not as fortunate financially.  Wait, not strangely.  Just the usual.

 

Anyway, tl;dr Momoland ended SM.
