The way the Ratmys have had to try and spin this because they got caught in their lie that BTS made HYBE successful enough to buy SM :skull: Bang didn’t have the liquid assets to buy SM and couldn’t get a loan/borrow his brother’s money to keep up with SM’s share prices and now they have to hang their heads in shame.

 

I’m kind of sad because when CEO Bang said he’d use some of the Spotify payola he uses for BTS, NJ and LSF for SM artists, I was excited to see it because we’d be able to gauge just how many of their Spotify streams are organic.

Or maybe Hybe didn’t think SM was worth the price.

Shows how profitable SM is anyway.

They obviously did or they wouldn't have been hitting up Morgan Stanley for a $1B loan to acquire a majority of SM's shares.

 

Bang PD obviously wanted SM but was doing so at "any cost". The shareholders were unlikely to be happy with all the loans being taken out to achieve this. HYBE was already having to take out quick loans to pay for the shares they already bought.

 

Plus Kakao has already infiltrated SM's board and employees, which is why all those crazy YouTube videos were being released. It damaged HYBE by association and caused friction and made a takeover by HYBE very difficult.

 

And finally Kakao recently got a huge $1B cash injection from Saudi Arabian government in January, on top of their own existing cash reserves. There's no way HYBE can compete with that kind of money without loans. :michael:

 

OT: I think this is good news because SM needed to keep its independence, which is more possible with Kakao (even though that company is horrible).

Ningning Minaj rapping better than problematic Nicki Minaj without even trying :jonny6:

90% of K-pop main vocals would NEVER be caught making their debut solo song (not single i think) a hip-pop smasha but wHEW legend Ningyonce Knowles truly did thaT! The star of Aespa indeed!

its crazy how irrelevant TWICE is now in Korea when 5 years ago Korea could not get enough anything they released, the way the audiences were so PERCHED for Yes or Yes like :jonny5:

"Perfect All-Out" is kinda iconic as an achievement tbh

I think it’s funny Blinks are dragging anyone over Spotify like their faves weren’t the background when Spotify openly admitted to payola and chart manipulation :skull: 

 

 

Like @MonsterNavy trying to drag physical sales when fans actually pay for that while praising the streams that YG pays for. It doesn’t make sense :toofunny2: 

 

I just said sm's physical sales are suspicious cause of how they don't match the streams, I even dragged nshitty and adspa and both are my faves :rip: 

 

I brag about bp's sales here when there's a new update :rip: I believe in those album sales but where are people streaming the music when its fueled by ads on youtube and n/a on spotify? make it make sense :toofunny3:

Seeing as their biggest group ever is from SM’s mastermind Min Hee-Jin, it’s no wonder they wanted a $1B loan to buy SM. Too bad Rafranz couldn’t Cash App them the money in time.
