When SM is the first of the big 3 to fall :deadbanana2:

JYPE fell off since 2021:deadbanana4:

Jessica is launching BLANC & ECLARE in Japan. She will premiere the brand at Tokyo Girls Collection (the largest fashion festival in Japan: BP, IU, TWICE, aespa etc. have previously appeared there). And tickets to her stage introduction are already sold out.

 

Not her ending up with one of the most successful idol related businesses ever.

 

OT: Love the timing of this announcement too :eli:

This...is not what we were expecting. Not exactly good news :rip:

 

So basically, LSM refused to close the sale of his majority shares (18%) to Kakao, so instead the SM directors (illegally, if we believe LSM) created 9% of new shares and sold those to Kakao instead. This sounds...messy.

 

I want to know what @harrythevifan thinks of all this...doesn't look like it will end well at all.

 

Somebody save my girls RV and aespa from this mess

Musically yes they fell off, but financially no. JYP is the only one of the big 3 that kept their "blue chip" financial status on the Korean market.

 

YG and SM got downgraded in 2021.

By "big 3" I mean the historical/prestige meaning. HYBE itself has only existed since 2021.

 

SM, YG and JYP have each had decades of continued success (since the 90s/00s) to be considered the "big 3" in terms of getting K-Pop to where it is now, creating the idol system, debuting many iconic idols etc.

 

In terms of actual finance/profit though, HYBE is already bigger than them.

I'm not sure if it's fair to consider HYPE a label since they owns many labels?

 

Nobody considers Kakao a label even though they own half of the industry

YG/HYBE/Naver vs SM/Kakao :mandown:

 

aespa's situation has been really sad to witness though, didn't expect stuff like this happening when I first got into them :dancehall2: Hope this can all be cleared up soon so things can get back to normal again. 

I wonder which side will eventually have JYP? :mandown:

 

 

 

 

Not surprised tho considering he previously work under JYP before.

you better buy the membership…It was already a nightmare getting tickets with it. What country are you from.

 

On the other hand it might be too late to get early membership

México, yeah yesterday was the last day to get the membership.

The show would be huge, the venue has like 60k capacity.

The way Kakao already have IU (biggest female solo) and IVE (one of the hottest Kpop ggs) on their rosters even without counting SM.
