Why has Tiffany not gone on any Korean music shows and only promoted English music in the west? Why was JYJ allowed to do dramas with no issue? My guess and opinion? An alleged Musical Non-Compete Clause for those leaving the company which may or may not prohibit formal domestic promotions after leaving the company for a certain amount of time. Usually foreign and OST, little indie tracks don’t count. If it’s five years we should get music next year. @Zack thoughts? Tiffany is my ult. US was always her dream and it allowed her to move back home, she left SM specifically because she wanted an agency that could support her ambitions better, she has voiced this. You're jumping to conclusions and then working backwards to make the facts fit the narrative, but the facts don't really fit. Non-compete clauses are standard contract fare in any industry so it wouldn't shock me to learn that SM has that in place, but there's no evidence supporting that. Not to mention the fact that SM idol contracts cover endorsements and acting too so why they would have a non-compete for one but not the other when SM invests resources into building their skills and connections in every field makes no sense imho. I think we're glossing over a key fact that anybody who leaves SM(especially SNSD) already had their shot at being at the top of the Korean music industry and probably a chance to continue that with SM too. Leaving is an enormous indicator of a shift in priorities, like in the case of Jessica who said her heart was in fashion more than idol work. In the case of JYJ though, a lot of the claims they made were verifiably false/sensationalized and production/broadcast companies and agencies were rightfully afraid to work with them in spite of their tremendous talent and popularity because they were liable to make up whatever and cause an enormous media storm to get what they want. They got out of their contracts(and brought necessary contract reform to the whole industry with them) but weren't awarded damages on any of their claims and it was later ruled to never be a slave contract to begin with. SM was underhanded but people forget there's always another side to that coin. Edited September 30, 2023 by Century 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illia Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I hate it how there are so many idols at these Fashion Weeks with Blackpink but we NEVER get a photo or any moment together The closest we've got recently is Jisoo and the NewJeans girls being in the same room And even aespa meeting Blackpink but taking ZERO photos together are they serious? And in before the "it's the company!11!!" excuses start coming in, Seulgi and NingNing were freely posting the BP concert on their instagram stories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same for Luna and Amber who released albums after leaving SM but they never appeared on music shows. Luna self-funded her "Madonna" song, so I highly doubt she would skip promotional opportunities unless she had no choice. Jessica also very obviously never wanted to stop doing/promoting music either. She has said this directly herself many times. SM just doesn't want any situation where it seems like their former idols are doing better outside of the company. Though they tried to play games with Tiffany vs. Jessica in 2016 and ended up losing. Edited September 30, 2023 by Zack 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odette Violet Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 MAVE, Plave or whatever. All this Korean companies debuting virtual groups and even groups who literally had nothing to do with geek stuff are now hopping on the trend but KTRL would convinced us otherwise that Aespa have no Impact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covers are cute but I'm not sure if I'll buy it. Maybe if I happen to see it in store but it's so disappointing. Even one group ver. photobook or digipack would have been great if they were going to bother with a physical at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
