insane how kpop stans will freak out about groups disbanding after 7 years... but then complain when older groups have comebacks.... :gaycat6: 

 

The problem is when the older acts waste all the time that could've been spent on the newer ones who actually need it and bring the most money in

if all older groups disband or get shelved then basically every single kpop group will die after their initial contract ends. 

If they’re no longer profitable then they totally should? Again, unless they join a smaller company or make their own label etc. 
 

Why would a company keep investing in something making no money (and very unlikely it will magically turn profit when it’s “expired”)

 

The only people who would not find that stupid are fans of those groups/soloists. 
 

SM has horribly managed their artists trying to juggle a roster of 20 active acts

definitely recommend this to anyone who can go - she puts on such a beautifully intimate show and her vocals are even lovelier live :jonny6:

The thing is, we, as kpop stans get 0 money from this at all, so do we really need to care about which acts releases and which doesn't? Just enjoy the music and that's it.

 

ehhh not feeling this... :deadbanana4: like it's cute, but nothing new

the drama and strings are like a livelier I’m In Love or something similar (not in a Born This Way/Express Yourself way but just the general vibe)

How am I supposed to enjoy all the potential my favs had being wasted on some hags and tribute acts?

I've seen you posting a couple times and you even quoted me once and I'll reply to you now 

I think you're dumb to think a company is not gonna do anything about someone literally stealing from them (to say the least)

imagine betraying your company, your shareholders and investors while expecting people to just ignore it, come on now 

try to see this situation as a grown adult, not only as a k-pop stan

It's HIS company, he can move his company's resources as he pleases and literally do whatever he wants with it and he just proved it :michael:

You act like hags get frequent releases or promotion:dies:they just come, release once every two years and go back to their lives, the budget put into those comebacks is nonexistent lmao.

several older sm artists have said they get very limited budgets for their comebacks ffs :rip: so its obvious sm is investing the bare minimum into older artists to keep the fans happy. super junior has their own sublabel under sm which they manage themselves ffs and that's what sm have said they are going to do with more older groups/artists. 

you literally just hate on most sm artists besides your faves unprovoked at this point and are using profitability as an excuse.

loona literally outsold got the beat :snowman:

You guys really think SM, named the most "evil" company by some of You, are going to waste their money on acts like BoA, Onew or Yeesung:dies: we don't even know if the acts themselves had to put money into the comebacks lmao.
