Like ain't that literally her group she endorsed :deadbanana4: SM so messy and unorganized. Like can they hire me already? 

 

like it would've made perfect sense to give them a BoA song since she produces for them, but no, they get a Super Junior song :dies:

and also... the way no one covered BoA for SMTown? like for what reason...?

25 SM trainees, 15+ will likely end up quitting after being chained in the dungeon for so long.

That would require management to do something other than make hate comments and blind items about the entertainers paying their bills all day.

 

Clearly these covers were picked at random by rolling dice at the last minute because what the hell is auntie doing covering Jonghyun while Taeyeon and Key are still under contract? Why is the company that killed him still milking dollars out of his memory? Why were aespa given the single soft schoolgirl concept in f(x)'s whole discography? Why was super junior invited at all? Why did the big 30th anniversary concert that the company apparently pushed back all comebacks to make way for have worse production values than any of the 19 year end festivals? WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO PISS OFF WENDY? Many such questions.

no, there are no Koreans in Dear Alice

 

they're all white as hell except for one who is of an indeterminate variety of non-whiteness

According to Dexter's instagram he is British/French/Caribbean ethnicity. 

 

He has also said in interviews that he is bilingual in English and French (so is Blaise who was born in Belgium). None of them speak Korean though!

There's not a chance in hell that RIIZE and Baby Monster are fifth gen. You mean to tell me that YG and SM are so unimportant to K-pop that they got skipped for a generation? That BlackPink and NCT were so irrelevant that their successors got skipped? It makes no sense.

 

YG himself said BABYMONSTER was 5th Gen.

Jennie is the member who teased the most and she's dead last

Outside of YouTube ads what would be their achievements if they were 4th gen spacer.png

She was incredible. Bada, BoA and TVXQ were the highlights of the show. It's a shame SM doesn't invest in their older artists, but I know they aren't commercially viable. 

well it's been 22 years since Bada left SM

 

TVXQ gets plenty of push from SM and I think Boa is well into her coasting phase where she's perfectly happy just showing up every once in a while

Which is PROOF that BabyMonster is 4th Gen. YG can do nothing but LIE. Thanks for trying, sis!

Not you thinking BoA covering Jonghyun was a mistake. Maybe you weren't ever really a Sheep to begin with. You know BoA was close with him, right?

 

Also, Aespa CHOSE RPP and have been talking about it for over half-a-year. They want to show a softer side of themselves, which is why their summer comeback isn't going to be an "iron taste" song. They want to try the "White Fox" style they had (that MHJ gave NewJeans) before Giselle joined and they've talked about it a couple of times

 

Them pissing off Wendy is unforgivable. I'll agree with you there.

They let SES's discography lie just as dormant as f(x)'s until Aespa did DCT. I think sometimes we forget how much SM played in SES's faces, too.

 

And Ms. Boa has asked for more and been denied it. She is in the same boat as Taeyeon. She might not be as profitable in 2025 as Taeyeon is, but any good person could easily take a veteran of 20+ years with an extensive catalog and make it profitable. But SM keeps throwing her nothing.

His two closest collaborators are his only two collaborators left at the company. The point stands. My Sheep card has been cancelled and you know that, spare us all another essay about how boycotting a shitty company makes me a bad person though. They will not get a single album, ticket, or merch sale out of me until there are changes.

K-Netz are also talking about how SMTown didn't even feel special. Like in 2022 when SNSD came back for it and performed Forever 1 and went viral with Hyoyeon's crying meme. Even the production of all the artist stages felt better then last nights cheap concert. 

:allears: SM's Crown Jewel for a reason

Super Junior was there because the concert was 5 hours long and they needed someone to cover the bathroom breaks

We need to talk about JTBC & Project 7 fiasco.

CLOSEYOUREYES winning group from Project7, the company managing the group is being sued by POCKETDOL (CCM/MBK).

Quote

 

The article discusses a dispute between PocketDol Studio and JTBC's program "Project7." According to lawyer Yang Tae-jung from the Gwangya law firm, representing PocketDol Studio, both parties initially agreed that the studio's artist could participate in "Project7" while continuing their current activities.

However, after the final members were selected, the program reportedly changed its stance, demanding that the artist focus solely on the new group Close Your Eyes. PocketDol Studio also accused Uncore Management of blocking communication with their artist, prompting the studio to file a missing person report with the police.

PocketDol Studio expressed frustration and plans to take legal action to resolve the matter.

 

Kenshin has been declared MISSING by POCKETDOL since they can't reach him and he is a minor.

All I saw in SM TOWN is SUJU ruining this song

 

 

They should have called them instead of having SUJU.

 

(This songs still sound good :jamming: )

 

I forgot Eric raps... The LYRICS (1:49)... :deadbanana4:

Edited by Xalric

Also you can tell they just randomly picked songs. Cuz if Aespa is gonna cover any F(x) song it should have been Electric Shock:jonny3:or 4 Walls.
