Why bother with someone's sloppy seconds when bestest fresh meats is constantly being delivered at slave contract prices? But I’m talking about popular idols only!For exemple, when they left SM none of the Snds girls signed into a big 3 company despite being popular! Somi didn’t sign to YG but only TBL , no one big agency tried to sign Kang Daniel either, despite him being the most popular Wanna one member etcc…
Zack Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 23 minutes ago, Adama said: You think Big 3 agencies made a deal together ? But They also love to push the SM/JYP/YG and now Hybe family thing so I guess it could be possible. I found my exemple btw: Somi! She left JYP but for TBL, not YG. SM contracts probably have non-compete clauses (maybe JYP and YG do as well). If you leave their label you will be restricted even after you leave. See Jessica, Luna, Amber, Tiffany, Sooyoung etc. They all released music but can't promote on music shows after leaving SM, because the contract probably blocks that. So instead they promoted in other markets (Jessica in China, Tiffany in U.S. etc.) or switched to acting (Krystal, Sooyoung, Seohyun etc.). The same would happen to Taeyeon if she left. Somi is different because she was still under a trainee contract at JYP, she never debuted, so she could transfer. The big 3 agencies trade trainees quite often. 2

There’s no denying Baekhyun’s extensive range, but from a technical perspective, Kyungsoo has him beat. There’s a reason Kyungsoo did most of the carrying during a chunk of their rookie years. That is, until Baekhyun proved himself to be more reliable (he continues to receive vocal lessons so I’m sure that helped a ton). Chen - good Kyungsoo - proficient Bakehyun - above average/lower proficient range Edited July 10, 2023 by JonginBey

I considered this, but they probably don't put language like that because they've never needed to, and it could come back to bite them during any sort of legal/arbitration proceedings. Kinda like with Exo, when half of them ran away to China, SM realized they needed to sharpen their contracts a bit. It's going to take something crazy for them to change how they did things. And with the Saudi money funds investing in kpop, maybe crazy is coming! 1

Hmm maybe...but it hasn't stopped SM in the past... My suspicion is that they do have something like that in their contracts to restrict artist activities after leaving, for precisely this reason...it's along the same lines as them being desperate to always lock in their idols for 10 years+ even if it requires very shady methods and loopholes to achieve it. Something we most recently saw yet again with EXO-CBX's disputes this year. Also the fact that we have basically never seen ex-SM idols promote on music shows or have wide scale promotion supports it, regardless of whether the idol left on good or bad terms. I can't think of a single example, whereas for YG and JYP there are examples (Minzy, Sunmi etc) Edited July 10, 2023 by Zack

Selenasworld Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Giggle stats are so crazy (even if they always been #1 on spotify if counting K/DA)
illia Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Super Shy might become my fav NewJeans song along with Attention. Hypeboy is too overplayed and overrated. OMG was cute but I got tired of it already. Now I'm starting to understand why they're going for more minimalistic sounds, it really DOES age a lot better in a long-term perspective.
Selenasworld Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 I might say even if I don't consider boy groups' releases better than girl groups' releases this year ENHYPEN, EXO, SHINee, ZB1, and TXT all have released some great music maybe noise music is losing this year. 3

Had SKZ been bigger domestically let's say like SVT, it would've ended bad for Hyunjin and the whole group, and Hyunjin would've gotten booted whether he was innocent or not. Btw, Hyunjin is still also the most popular member in Korea along with Felix if I'm not mistaken, so kicking him out wouldn't resolve anything and thank god they didn't! 1 minute ago, levi_valvi said: So no chance of Jinni re-debuting? JYP is not like SM, just look at how the ex JYP idols are thriving after they left JYP: HyunA, Sunmi, Suzy, Jay Park, all the GOT7 members etc. 1 minute ago, levi_valvi said: The Boyz at #8??

The Gayz are or used to be the most popular 4th gen boy group in Korea, and actually has top 10 hits if I'm not mistaken? They are just very local
