____shawnee 4,118 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Everyone generally thinks they get mistreated (I used to) but I think it's the opposite. They can quit their promotions when a member takes a break, they can quit the group with no troubles, SM consistently denies their dating scandals even with all the evidence, they get awesome comeback teasers and promotion tactics don't have to promote in Japan great albums great MVs the only group who doesn't have to do difficult/tiring choreography, only have to promote for a few weeks, get to go abroad and shoot movies in China, get to act in hit dramas (The Heirs) Ooh, not to mention this upcoming collab with Pet Shop Boys.

simkunghye 396 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 They really have it easy. They do only what they want to do. People actually think they are under promoted but in reality its probably how they want it to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImInCloud13 10,942 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Maybe because they are the act that brings the less revenue for them so they don't feel the need to work them till they fade? They are also a group that is already in their 6th year gettinginto the 7th. They already peaked and they took quite a bit to breakthrough.

diphylleia grayi 2,705 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 LOL at not having to promote in Japan when SM idols probably easily make the majority of their income from Japanese tours and album sales (albums cost like $25+ in Japan compared to 2c downloads in Korea). f(x) are probably relatively poor compare to their peers in SM> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of SM idols/groups are cash cows in Japan AND still have individual activities. I mean look at Yunho, making that Japan stadium and dome money while doing a handful of dramas a year in Korea.

Elly_ 5,697 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Easy =/= Favoritism In some cases, lack of favoritism = lack of opportunities = lack of promotion = "easy". Also all sm groups have high production for mv's and songs and what not. The rest of the points make sense, but having f(x) act isn't favoritism since you have to be a good actor/actress in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably even make more than EXO, whom are probably the main subject of SM's expenses. Several SM idols have hinted at not liking Japanese promotions. They make enough money without all the extraness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F(x) comebacks were never a big event the way snsd and exo are it shows when sm doesn't invest much in their comebacks. As for music, that's subjective and it stems from the fact that f(x) is considered an experimental group while snsd is a cashcow that sm can't risk much with polarizing music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
