NCT Dream and Red Velvet = SM's breadwinners confirmed.

This is what happens when you get more than 1 album a year :clap3:

Boa going to Japan and smashing pushed K-pop further though. She and DBSK are a large reason why K-pop groups can rake in cash from that country. :michael: Also she got that push because LSM was obsessed with her face so she definitely had the visual. 

This is correct + what @mathekr said.

 

SM's "dark history" in the early 2000s is well documented by Korean media. After H.O.T and S.E.S disbanded, a huge revenue stream was lost and the replacement groups, MILK, Black Beat and even later, CSJH The Grace, all failed to capture the same success. It was looking bleak.

 

SM was desperate and took a huge risk in turning to Japan with BoA and it paid off in the best way. They basically reset her career, made her learn Japanese and shipped her there with a hope and a prayer. I can't imagine the pressure she must have felt, but it worked out. Had she failed, I think the company would really have struggled to reach the legacy it did today.

The disrespect to a legend like BoA when she was literally a central force in SM’s turning point at the turn of the century :rip:

not to mention she made that happen at the age of 16. Nothing but respect for the legend.

like it’s one thing to dislike her because personal taste is subjective, but minimizing her impact and legacy is crazy :rip:

BoA was successful? Yes.

BoA was impactful to SM's future? Yes.

 

Saying the company and any groups after wouldn't EXIST without her is absolutely ridiculous.

Gaia energy towards legend BoA is weird :redface:

The fact that he said that as soon as she joined the group of trainees he knew he had to somehow make it work for her and get her in the group...he definitely thinks she can be the next Lisa if that bias existed from the beginning for him :rip:
