SM always shoves thier groups comeback weeks and even days apart:deadbanana2:
literally the worst company at scheduling ever. SM has a history of putting thier 2 biggest groups comebacks near each other. They did it during SNSD & Juper Juniors peaks. Like the boys comeback was barely 2 weeks after Suju for example. NCT came back days before Riize debut :rip: sm is so dumb, and never utilize the Sheep’s to thier advantage. Like spread your artist out, and stop cramming your top billed artist within weeks of each other🤦‍♀️

Exactly, cause SM has the most loyal company stans out of any company, who supports most SM groups, but the company forcefully make their stans prioritize one act over the other, when they could’ve supported all of them equally if they were more spread out :huh:

Red Velvet had a world tour then almost immediately went into comeback planning.

 

Yunho from TVXQ came back in August and the group cb was always going to happen this December because of the groups 20th anniversary.

 

SM is an awful company but so far the new production centers are pumping out content much, much faster. I will be actually shocked if we don't get Yeri and Irene debuts next year on top of group activities and a solo cb for at least Wendy.

SM is an awful company but so far the new production centers are pumping out content much, much faster. I will be actually shocked if we don't get Yeri and Irene debuts next year on top of group activities and a solo cb for at least Wendy.

The "world tour" consisted only of Asia and Europe (the Americas were totally skipped for unknown reasons, despite fan demand) and the European leg was so poorly planned that tickets were only going on sale 11-13 days before the concerts started. Fans were contacting the venues about tickets and the venue staff were panicking because they had no info from SM or the tour company. Fans were only told about the ticket sales opening 2 days beforehand.

 

They did not "immediately" go into comeback planning. The tour ended in early June and we heard nothing for months until the girls themselves revealed in August that they had just started planning for a full album. Then the official confirmation from SM that they were preparing only came in September. 

 

This is after an entire year with zero group or solo music releases aside from Wendy's one quick Station collab in January. Her solo comeback this year was canceled and this was the only RV related release on SM's schedule for most of the year.

 

Their SNS hardly posts anything about the girls and Irene literally only got her own Instagram highlight this year. 

 

RV's "production center" has not been competent

Exceed my expectations They snatched SOTY and AOTY :jonnycat:

Are we definitely sure Kyungsoo is leaving SM entirely or is his situation potentially similar to SC instead? 

 

SM has been releasing statements saying they are all still under contract, but it seems since CBX they are allowing the members to sign contracts with other agencies on the side. 

The whole thing is weird and hopefully it gets clarified!

yeah i’m a bit confused

based on the statements, SM allows members to create their own companies and they can’t sign to already existing ones?
