can the sm stans find a way to make bad boy go viral :loki:

They did in 2018, but SM didn't care :michael:

 

OT: I hope when SM's new management structure activates, that they wake up and realize RV still has a ton of potential internationally.

except newjeans did it for multiple weeks with great music and not steaming horsesh*t :jonny6:

Streaming what ? How do you think Korean listen to NJ from iTunes :bibliahh: Ariana is one of the most acclaimed singers. Be serious. 

IU album sales are actually quite high considering she's not active outside of Korea.

 

All of the bigger selling female soloists are active internationally as part of girl groups.

SM 41 albums not gonna happen

 

and that boy group debut is gonna be pushed back, don’t believe them for a minute

Yeah it just sounds like investor talk to me, to get the share prices going up etc. Especially since they're trying to finalize the sale to Kakao.

 

Considering last year, Girls (aespa) and Birthday (RV) were MONTHS late and even other projects like WayV and Key's repackage were delayed etc. I don't think it's realistic, although SM puts out far more content than any other similar company.

 

We know that the management is changing soon, so I feel like it's going to be an awkward year for the company.

Birthday, GOT the beat and NCT bombing harder than ever got SM scared cause that's exactly the kind of music they had prepared for aespa :toofunny3:

ig i'm not as affected by the constant delays since newjeans are around to take their spot, just like aespa was when Loona were falling apart :mandown:

At least one member in NCT will probably get a full solo debut at some point soon too :skull:

 

SM usually starts giving them around the 7 years point...so maybe Mark or Taeyong or Jaehyun or Doyoung etc.

 

OT: Also Hitchhiker left SM last year and moved to HYBE

reminds me of IU who have so many digital hits, but nobody wanna buy her albums

Except her digitals gave her a lot of money. Plus she have credits (so earning even more money) from writing,composing and producing her music, something most idols can’t get :cm:

There is. The break between Savage and Girls was long if you compare it to NJ's or Ive's and after all that time, coming back with a track like Girls is sabotage. You see, it's not like aespa lacks power for them to smash, they lacked a good song, hence, a b-side outdoing the actual title track.

But how are you gonna compare aespa on their 2nd to 3rd year to Ive and NJ on their first? aespa got the same ammount of comebacks on their first year as the other two.

SM definitely fumbled the bag last year with Girls and not following with another album on Q4 like it was originally planned. Still they got a decent hit with Illusion in the end. But it's not an aespa boycott thing when literally every other SM acts got the same treatment.

i'm not coming for IU btw I genuinely have zero idea about her album sales nn

I’m excited for SM’s future and it’s good that they are taking the JYP route and managing all of their artists in different divisions.  I just hope that aespa and NCT will NOT be put under the same division or else it’s over for aespa’s career :redface:

Lord help us all

you guys just be saying thing cause how you gonna say iu doesnt sell albums

no other soloist sells like her :rip:

I can't believe he really said that :dies:

IU has already secured Music / Tour / CFs / Movie / GP Recognition field in S.Korea and her album sales is still growing too :soda:

iu-and-eunhyuk.jpg

 

This was literally a decade ago and the only people outraged were her uncle stans and pick me girls who thirsted for Super Ahjussi

IplagiarizeU has had countless national hits since then and got a lot more respected as a songwriter (some even say this scandal was deliberate to shake off her innocent Nation's little sis image, and it worked!)

Ditto is still going just to remember everyone :giraffe:
