the overreaction here about the hybe and sm issue:rip: hybe will not touch sm's music as their agreement with lsm is for him to keep in charge so unless hybe will buy bigger shares from small stakeholders of sm, they will don't have that much influence about how sm works.

I'll start to worry once hybe owns 50% of SM's shares coz that will be a full takeover :deadbanana4: I'm not rooting for any of the two since theyre both evil corporate giants, sadly there's no good outcome to this, it's either kakao will buy sm and their monopoly will be much stronger or hybe will buy them and they're being one step closer to an actual monopoly :deadbanana4: honestly this is Chris Lee and Lee so man's fault in the first place :bibliahh:

since some people here are confused - hybe doesn't own sm now. they own the most shares in sm but not the company itself. it's a public company and therefore can't be owned by one person or one corporation. 

But they do have controlling interest idk if it works the same in Korea but board elected decisions especially equity based (company direction, release of new shares, voting of new executive officers), its the controlling interest member who basically sways the opinion.

 

EDIT: my bad they have the MAJORITY share but not a controlling share. HYBE still has no direct pull over SM.

If you read the statement that HYBE put out, they’re basically going to reinstate LSM and oust everyone that he’s mad at. Expect to see HYBE pushing the acts on a global scale which is a good thing - RV global tour, Aespa better Spotify numbers, etc. 

 

They’ll basically treat SM like ADOR and give them a strong push for a huge cut of their profits.

She's also booked and busy in China with multiple luxury brand endorsements, magazine cover appearances and new variety show recording next week.

And there's a new album release on the way too

 

It may not have been her choice to leave SM, but she turned a bad situation in to an amazing one :clap3:

I don’t see this happening. This might be a naive question but why would they invest in something just to get rid of it?

The real question is will Oh!GG stay with SM this year after all this, I forgot their renewals are coming up in September too

Exactly, lmao. And HYPE is a public company as well. They can't sabotage a business which they bought just because Bang PD wants to get rid of competition :skull:
