I think the artists will probably be salty though. 

 

SM entertainment artists are trained to have a lot of pride in SM being the 'biggest and best kpop company'.

 

And I know when BTS was rising, there was tons of competition between the companies AND the artists.

 

SM tried so hard to push NCT in America after BTS starting popping off. Don't get me started on the power tripping at award shows and end of year gayos.

 

This is really gonna crush SM artists' pride.

BoA, Taeyeon & Karina comes to mind

I may hate YG to death and still think they're the worst when it comes to managing artists esp crackstink

but the way they're kinda the last one standing out of the big 3 despite all of the mess happening in that company (idk anything about jypig)

JYP is home to the second biggest boy group and second biggest girl group, they're doing fine

 

 

Then again they're also home to NMIXX so maybe not

And why would a business keep around an act that isn't profitable, anyway?

 

HYBE & SM & YG & JYP and every other business are here to make money, not lose money by investing it into projects that don't turn a profit

 

they aint a charity

 

to control competition to generate more revenue for their favored acts

but then again there wasnt much competition to begin with so you may just have a point

not when their discography is literally 6 songs. where are the touring stats? where are the album stats?

 

I'm willing to budge on newjeans but not yet, it's too early. At this point they could just be a fad.

Y’all do realize that SM has been hitting historic highs year-after-year for four years now, right? They’re not being acquired because they’re failing - quite the opposite.

Not directly.  They're being acquired because they had been successful, but have not been returning that value to shareholders.  Turns out, Lee Sooman did tings.  So activist investors (and also maybe employees who were getting screwed) rallied the other shareholders and found some allies and went to take out Lee Sooman and get their money.  In turn, Lee Sooman went to his network of old korean men, and found a younger one who aspires to be him one day to help him out.  And in a few years Lee Sooman will just buy his shares back and regain the company, if he wants.  And Bang Sihyuk has joined the old korean mens club, so in the future he if ever gets in some trouble for the financial shenanigans he's already  been doing for many years, his friends will look after him, too.

No one is FAWNING

thers nothing wrong with saying she’s a pretty girl

I’m also a gay male

if I was straight and said that, then that would be weird

 

but me as a gay, I don’t see the issue….

I’ve seen y’all talk about the FadedJeans girlies looks all the time

but when I do it, it’s disturbing…

that BABYDUMPSTER girl was 441 days old when you joined ATRL

I guess the teaser last night wasn’t a comeback afterall

but for their 2023 welcoming collection

 

 

 

 

Not a welcoming collection and it’s literally about to be March..

YG, I really can’t. This should’ve been out 2 months ago

Crazy to say that when Blackpink is the only carrying the company without the Blackpink the company is nugu and they are far away in term of revenue sales 
 

Hybe will not disband a group who can sell 5M albums in a single year let’s be real.  As much as I don’t like NCT they bring the money to the table and they’re one of the reasons some of these old acts get a cb.  Boa, Hyo etc are in danger. 
NCT, Aespa, Exo and maybe RV will be fine.
