VelvetCrush Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 2 hours ago, Selenasworld said: Oh I knew I didn't made up 5 years contracts I used to think those were the default duration, it looks like 7 years is the default, still companies are greedy the LOONA girls were under BBC since 2016-2017 till 2022-2023 so basically 7 years counting pre-debut project I mean according to the media it's not that it was a 5 year contract, it's just that BTS renewed/renegotiated earlier than the expiring year, but I guess a contract of 5 years is not completely off the table. 7 years is usually the standard because it's the maximum allowed by korean law. 1

That’s as delusional as Blinks saying they’re a United fanbase. Truth is, if they werent too obsessed with solo stanning they wouldn’t have a problem admitting JK has the most streamed Kpop soloist song. But because they still want Jimin to have something they’re running with a technicality to be able to ignore the JK song. Edited September 20, 2023 by Gaia 1

New Edition Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 1 hour ago, Zuko said: “BTS-led increase in national brand value and economic trickle down effect” the way industry people & analysts will always credit bts for kpop going global "However, it is premature to say that Kpop has entered the global mainstream." That's why so many hybe stans were jealous of Fifty Fifty's organic mainstream success 1

Obviously not totally related to what you were discussing, but although 7 years is the maximum length allowed to be written in an entertainment contract, there are loopholes. SM openly boasted a couple months ago, that it had gotten approval from Korea's trade commission which allows them to make NCT's contracts longer than 10 years, due to extension agreements for overseas promotions, military service etc. They also did something similar with SNSD, f(x), EXO, Red Velvet and possibly aespa too. Most other companies seem to stick within 7 years though, SM just wants to be extra shady I guess!

I mean the way they said Jimin surpassed Lalingo's Money but won't admit Jungkrook song. When both aren't technically kpop... this feels very targeted.

There's enough REAL issues with that evil corporation, you don't need to regurgitate Jessica Jung's fantasies to find something to criticize. The current mass exodus from SM disproves this narrative that people are forced to stay with them forever. All 8 SNSD members continuing to work with SM while half of them aren't under contract and actively working in the industry for another company also is a huge hole in this conspiracy theory. It's time to put the "slave contract" narrative to bed for good. The ex-dbsk members who originated it were exposed to not all be great/honest people. SM is extremely controlling for the 7 year contract term like every other agency, or like any other main US record label is for the term of an x album contract. Edited September 20, 2023 by Century 1

(except nct) it feels like pre-releases replaced repackages Repackages are usually for full albums. Since no company wants to give their 4th gen groups legitimate full albums, no one can get repacks either. Companies are trying to spend as little as possible so less songs but more title tracks. Hence most groups now doing pre-releases and multiple title tracks. 1

There's a big difference between singing live & dancing on stage vs singing comfortably with a stripped back arrangement 3. Most kpop idols actually have pretty vocal tones. Very few of them are actually tone deaf. What they lacking is vocal technique and ability to project their voice which would only show when they sing a more demanding song 1
