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. 
 

 

Seventeen isn’t even a homegrown HYBE group, so getting panties twisted over a statement like that is utterly hilarious. Whatever skill set the group has, they brought with them in the merger.
 

Regardless of that, the way carats try vehemently to overestimate Seventeen’s vocal prowess is wildly astonishing to me. Of their vocal line (DK, Joshua, Jeonghan, Seungkwan), only two are competent enough to do the heavy lifting of the group which is already a weak balance against the number of members. The two J’s are capable in their own right, compared to the others (that aren’t consistent enough in technique to be recognized). But the line as a whole would never be able to measure up well against the most revered BG lines (BTOB, EXO, SHINee, Highlight), nor are any of them remarkable or distinctive enough to stand out individually, either (I’ll give the most credit to DK bc he’s my favorite).

You are more of a SVT stan than anyone else in this thread king, you should know SVT is a well rounded group but they are best at dancing, yeah, some of them can sing but they are like NCT level of vocalists at best, they aren't touching TVXQ, SuJu, SHINee or EXO in the vocals department, it's giving Liz main vocalist propaganda, she ain't all that.

finally someone said it!

her voice is lifeless and devoid of personality

but people praise it to spite strawberry or whatever

 

(although leeseo should get less lines as well or better yet, she should've debuted when she's older!)

I kinda hate the idea of anyone buying out SM, but I’m much more comfortable with HYBE doing it than K*kao.

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

I think IU is way too big to be a casualty. If anything the labels will go into a bidding war to grab her if her label goes down.

Is there a reason why SM couldn't have stayed an independent company? Was this not an option? I just don't like Hybe or Kakao involved with them. If anything,  I almost would have preferred a big international label buy them out than this.

She has the best technique but I personally prefer Yujin’s voice

The reason why Chris Lee is trying to bring kakao into this situation in the first place is that many shareholders of SM aren't satisfied with LSM as he in charge of monitoring all groups and can bring huge benefits to his own company 'Like'.

imagine telling K-pop fans in 2013 that a nugu group called BTS would be the downfall of SM Entertainment :deadbanana4:

#TeamHYBE or #TeamKakao y'all?

 

The way Hyenas are working overtime :redface:

I thought it was strange enough that Hybe America randomly bought Quality Control, but for Hybe to turn and try to swiftly snatch SM up like this :deadbanana2: Perched for the super random collabs to possibly come from this, but its safe to say Hybe ended the Big 3 era of K-Pop.

 

2023 is already shaping up to be the most interesting year in K-Pop and we haven't even got to the big debuts or contract renewals yet :redface: 

 

WJSN have like two weeks before there's is up and Starship has been way too quiet for my taste :dancehall2:

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 

I believe hybe decided to disband gfriend or it was RBW the one that disbanded other gg, im not so sure but I believe it was hybe, most of gfriend fandom hated le sserafim on their debut because of it

I think IU is way too big to be a casualty. If anything the labels will go into a bidding war to grab her if her label goes down.

But for what they are fighting (int $$$) she is not that relevant. IU and Bae Jong Hae (her ex manager and current CEO) sold part of their shares, and now Kakao has 52% of Edam. The company is expanding, but still totally depending on her, she will not leave I fear.

I can't see HYBE wanting any of Kakao subsidiaries. Kakao is unable to create any big idol company, even though they have all the resources, that's why they want SM. 



But if she active her sly fox side and decides to leave Edam... then i believe they would accept her asap. :bird:
Sing I-Land theme was probably Bang PD's request 
Also he defended her twice
