Not just that. They are a girlgroup who can sell a bunch of concert tickets (in Japan nonetheless) and a ton of albums, they are the safest at SM. :rip:

Kakao now plotting to use some of the $966M investment they just got from Saudi Arabia (and Singapore) government last month to outbid HYBE in the tender offer for the 25% shares...

 

I mean this is a total mess :deadbanana4:

 

Oh hell nawwwww. Kakao needs to back off. Most of my fave groups are under Hybe & SM. If this screw them up because of the takeover :dancehall2:

Whew, we're literally witnessing the death of the vocalist in k-pop as we know it. :redface:

I really don’t understand this erasure of Seventeen vocalists when y’all talk about HYBE vocals. I mean I get it if you don’t know about them, but at least don’t make uninformed statements.

I dont know what their company vision is for them (as if there were any) but they should ditch Korean lyrics and focus on building an international fanbase.

i agree, a great example is XG rising globally with the english lyrics. So I can’t see why Blackswan can’t do it. They even have a bigger advantage since they have a multicultural lineup with Black, European, Indian and South American members. I mean the potential is big if handled properly.

I cant at the "metaverse" idea anyways. Where is it? A metaverse actually needs execution, a place to host people, in VR. Where is that at?

Hmm I wonder how much creative control HYBE will have over SM now. Also old SM staff/artists bumping into Min Heejin & ADOR will really be something :dies:

I always thought the metaverse thing was so stupid. Does anyone really care about this apart from corny rich people and crypto bros? :rip:

I'd get it if we had actually immersive VR technology, like Sword Art Online-style, but that's pretty much impossible (and it wouldn't be acessible to 99% of the world population). Why would I care about some virtual idol when I could just go to a real concert?

It's really over for SM oh wow

 

RIP Red Velvet, arepa, NCT and whoever else is still on that roster :redface:

HYBE shares that Bang Si-Hyuk, and Lee "mutually agreed on the shared vision for the future of K-pop industry"

"HYBE fully agrees with Lee's strategic initiatives including metaverse, a multi-label system and the sustainable vision campaign. Leveraging our capabilities..."

"and resources, HYBE will further strengthen the presence of K-pop in the global stage." -Mr. Bang

HYBE adds they will "focus on improving SM Entertainment's corporate governance"

Chairman Bang Si-hyuk has expressed mutual respect with former executive producer LSM to the point of commenting, “HYBE only walked on flowery paths because of the red carpet that senior (Lee Soo-man) pioneered and paved”

At least IVE, Itzy, and Nmixx are safe :zzz:

For now.

Also with the Kakao vs HYBE I’m scared that IVE might get tangled in this mess and their potential ruined :rip:

This. IVE and maybe IU might be the next casualties of Kpop Game of Thrones (Kakao vs Hybe)

 

Sidenote which other groups are under Kakao currently? I can think of Apink, and The Boyz.

 

JYP are kinda save from the Kakao vs Hybe mess for now but we never know what's gonna happen next. JYP being bff with Bang PD due to the past history working together at JYPE and especially appeared on the same pic earlier this year it seems like there's something going on bts between Hybe and JYP as well.

IU, IVE, STAYC, Apink, WJSN, Monsta X, Victon, Weeekly, The Boyz, Wonho, Yoo Jae-Suk, Mijoo (Lovelyz), Cravity, Sam Kim.

 

There's obviously more, but these are the main ones.

didn't gfriend disband because all the members left source music :rip: and with nu'est well pledis disbanded after school and prisitin too so they're just idiots

i doubt hybe has that much power over contract renewals/negotiations 

Source didn't want to renew their contract at all and gave them a new one with unfair conditions.

Even though I’m not a SM Stan I Lowkey hate this :rip: Diversity is good for the industry.
