I find it interesting how SM is running things

[ethereal]

Three of their artists are promoting at the same time. Red Velvet, EXO, and Girls Generation. No other company really does this and I don't get why SM feels the need to move so fast and basically sabotage their artists. Like, the company is basically pitting their artists against each other in terms of music show wins and chart positions. I just don't get this tactic.

 

idk if anyone has mentioned this before.

 

 

edit: I see people can't even be genuinely curious on this website without being negged

[DramaticTaeyeon"]

But they aren't really tho????

RV has been out for a while.

And GGs new song isn't really a true comeback.

So I don't get what you're trying to say.

jyp is promoting himself, miss a, and jimin at the same time too

[Long Lost Horse Child]

I'd rather have it like this than YG's style of promoting his artists..

 

Anyway, their artist's comebacks usually only overlap a little at the very beginning and the very end of their promotions. When one group is having their goodbye stage or not winning anymore, another is getting ready for their comeback. So in the end it really doesn't harm anything.

 

Also, it seems like a lot of the time the target fanbase of the promoting groups isn't the same.

[Suga's GF]

well i mean they're all gonna do well anyway so

[shaishaix]

STARSHIP did it with SISTAR & BOYFRIEND in 2012

[♥SNS-Shinomiya♥]

well don't they only have a year to promote thier groups?

[JaynaeNicole]

RV comeback is probaby coming close to ending

EXO just started

and SNSD wasn't a come back..it was a korean freebie...that they wont be promoting on any shows...

[desilvadns]

SNSD is not promoting in Korea right now but in japan (just for your info)

[AnonSone]

I think they have done this before in 2013 and 2014.

Yeah, you should take into account too. I think SM has the most groups and solo and subunits compare to other companies.

You're right. I didn't think about that....

 

I wonder why companies do this. I'm honestly just curious.

Thanks for that info, I didn't know. But they're still competing musically on charts and stuff with their lablemates.

1. SNSD aren't promoting

2. EXO came back at the perfect time, aka when RV were on the downside of their promotions, but soon enough so both could promote together, which will benefit RV~

3. I'd MUCH rather have this than the alternative lol

[Jessicaberry]

I find it "interesting" how SM is running SNSD aka kicking out one of their most profitable members because she wouldn't give them a cut of her sunglasses $

[woohyuks]

snsd aren't even promoting tho

 

i'd rather have it the sm way than the yg way

Yea, CMIYC is a Japanese single, Korean version is just an extra for fans. They stated clearly about it & said that they won't have any promo activities for it in Korea.

[yeokdae]

SNSD isn't promoting and lots of companies have comebacks overlapping

nice try though

[anonanonanon]

RV's promos are ending while EXO is starting. Plus, Soshi's single is just an extra song, they're not going to promote it

[Cloud09]

And M&D will join in next week~

 

M&D is completely in Heechul's (and Jungmo's) hands though, so they're just going to promote casually

[NARA.]

jyp is promoting himself, miss a, and jimin at the same time too

[Thotcahontas]

Gg = May, Exo = April, RV = March...how's that sabotaging?

[AnonSone]

Team-kill or not, most of the SM fans are loving this though because they do not have to wait longer for their biases' to comeback. Although it will be costly sometimes. Plus, most of SM fans live for the interactions between SM artists too.

[freeask?]

this is much better than 2013, when EXO released their repack just a week after f(x) make their comeback..... 

[YuHanTen]

SM doesn't have enough time . That's it .

[no nonsense]

Eh, isn't it just math?

 

Lots of groups, several comebacks in a year plus subunit comebacks and solo promotions = dozens of promotions and comebacks in a year

 

A year only has 52 weeks, so there's bound to be overlap. Certainly when a promotion lasts 3 weeks and longer.

 

 

Besides, RV had 2 weeks for themselves and SNSD isn't promoting in SK, it's foremostly a Japanese release.
