bunnyeyes Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 2 hours ago, Century said: 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. What are your thoughts on @Zack’s astute observation about Amber and Luna encountering the same thing, Luna even more strangely since she financed her own post SM release, Madonna but didn’t promote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Luna's situation because I never followed her after SM but I know that user has pushed lies about Amber in a similar context before. That person will pass off their assumptions as fact and then use the lack of evidence against their already unfounded assumptions as proof like some kind of religious zealot, rather than coming up with any actual evidence for their claims.

illia Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 1 minute ago, Dialamba said: I mean they do not chart in japan But they do? All of their singles (except for Tippy Toes) charted in Billboard Japan and Shooting Star charted well in Oricon. Their positions are not top tier but they'll never chart this good on MelOn for example. And I'm not saying that they should stop all the Korean promotions at all, but they COULD also dedicate some time to the market that is more interested in them than Korea that hates them. 5-6 Korean perfomances (2 weeks promo) with different outfits would be more than enough, then some Japan promotions as well would be a much better balance, instead of a month at Korean shows and zero promo anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) @IvyTower Like I said though I wouldn't be surprised to hear there's a non-compete agreement because that's normal but the way ex-SM idols are still actively promoting in Korea(just not music, but in fields their original still contracts covered) makes no sense. This whole thing is assuming a restrictive contract clause with an ENORMOUS hole in it for non-music activities plus some kind of heinously broad NDA that wouldn't hold up in court to keep victims from speaking up about things that in no way jeopardize SM or any of its trade secrets. It's also founded on a reputation the company earned through lawsuits full of false claims where SM actually won in the end every single time against people who broadly were later proven to be terrible people like Kris and Tao. There are plenty of skeletons in SM's closet like the intense comeback schedules, the pressuring young children to leave home to go be full time laborers(sometimes even moving to a different continent to do so), the attempted Jessica vs Tiffany sabotage mentioned in the last page, employing wanted criminals, assisting in coverups of illegal activity from idols, payola, refusing to crack down on malicious comments, etc, etc, etc ,etc ,etc there's a LOT. However, there's no evidence to support these nebulous mistreatment, blacklisting, and slavery allegations that get thrown around constantly(and that take away from meaningful discussions about the actual harm done), but there is plenty of facts that support this not existing(like JYJ and SMs publicly known, jointly announced legal agreement to not interfere with each other's activities ever again that they could have sued and won a million times over with if these blacklisting claims were ever true). Let's not forget this is the company that lets idols take years long health absences from 7 year contracts or even leave groups to pursue acting or fashion with no interference.
