PD101 Rep: BoA 1,183 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Let's get one thing straight, SME are ruthless, cold-blooded, fuck-with-us-and-we'll-blacklist-you-from-the-country ass bitches. But they are literally attempting to run a monopoly on the industry, and everyone is just letting them do it. Not only is their roster enormous, but they are very much into the habit of releasing high-numbered groups, splitting them up, and sending them out to promote. They were doing all of this before 2016. Now, they've gone balls to the wall and want to debut a constant rotation of multiple groups at once as well as releasing a large number of consecutive digital releases. The question is. What are your faves doing? SME is setting the bar extremely high. I'm not talking about whether or not they'll succeed, I'm not talking about a "SME >>> JYP" stan argument, I'm talking about pure ambition. Their plans are enormous, and if they even see half of a return on it it'll be remarkable. So why are other companies still playing it safe? Do you think they're intimidated by the possibility of failure? Or do they lack determination? What can your faves' companies do to step their promotional game up?

GirlBye 27,959 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Prop b/c most companies do not have the resources to carry out such plans nor can they afford to take the risk and fail. Sans YG (they have the money and influence but not so sure about organization and manpower) and CJ I don't think there is a company that can match SM in this regard. You'd be surprised to learn how far SM's reach goes outside of Kpop (ofc not anywhere near that of CJ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugaJam 3,634 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 SM isnt doing anything more different than most big player in whatever industry they're in. They big, and has the money to experience. It's the same for every industry and not just k-music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

removed929393303 15,230 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 SM has the money and power to make big plans like this. However they also have the habit of changing their big plans once things get started and they see what is working vs what is not. So I fully expect this plan to adapt and change with time. Other company's don't have the luxury of being able to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think YG as a company isn't that big, a lot of their income is coming from other businesses other than music. Overall YG is just much more branched out and versatile in all sortd of business rather than SM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s4a 13,715 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 You really don't think FNC wasn't on the phone trying to figure out how to copy what SM is doing?

Remus 1,775 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Greedy and arrogant. We'll see how it goes but it might backfire. Seems like everyone but SM stans will get annoyed by this after a while. Every fucking week? I think even the Big Bang MADE releases that YG did last year started to backfire a little bit towards the end. It will be like SM verses Korea.

Overall YG is just much more branched out and versatile in all sortd of business rather than SM. .......not really tho....... SM owns (or has partnerships) a shit ton of subsidiary companies including a sports management agency, the biggest modeling agency in Korea, there's SM C&C which houses Woolim and also a huge roster of actresses / actors / comedians, they have another indie label Baljunso, restaurants, they own The Celebrity magazine, not to mention the entire SM COEX Artium complex.... etc. etc. etc. Most people don't know that the big 3 themselves fear companies like Cj and Loen.

night vale. 8,071 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I fear CJ E&M more because they sell Korean barbecue sauce in my store and Snowpiercer was pretty good.

YGstan 3,051 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is an SMstan's sneaky way of trying to brag. Truth is, they aren't monopolizing. Competition is bigger than ever, especially from small companies. In fact SM isn't exactly a digital giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ E&M is an actual, in real life, entertainment monopoly - they are HUGE and mega-powerful Those are still mainly related to the musical part of SM, AKA, their music industry value. YG on the other hand has expanded much further, mainly into banking partnerships, makeup world, fashion, food and so on. And I'm not talking about they having a deal with but actually owning these brands. On top of all this I can't even tell you just the household name they are in designing. I know far too many ppl that would give everything to work in their designing department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
