Briar Rose 7,488 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 SM now block jessica and jyj in Korea, block jyj in Japan on some level, but can't block kris, luhan, tao in china? Why is that? If they can block people in Japan, why not China? BTW I am happy they can't block ppl everywhere and I hope that they will stop blocking. it is a corrupt action.

Serechan 1,482 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 They have try to do so but sm couldn't block them 100%. Sm is still trying gain grounds in china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaehyunnies 3,170 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 SM had no power in China, but now they have a subsidiary in China, things will be different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noon 20,968 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 china don't give a shit also i have a feeling that a korean company blocking Korean artists in japan is much easier to do than a korean company blocking chinese artists in china Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Don't Cry 5,451 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 SM tried some shady things with Kris and Luhan, but failed. They have not enough power over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiaraewiwiarae 6,637 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Sigh... SM can't block people in Japan. Avex blocked JYJ in Japan. That same company that first signed Tohoshinki, then signed JYJ behind SM's back, then decided that SM brought more profits (or was unhappy with C-JeS, whatever), dropped and blocked JYJ. SM can't do shit to Avex. In Japan Avex >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SM SM can't even fully block people in Korea either - JYJ have no problems being cast in dramas, movies and musicals. SM only has limited influence on music industry in Korea, not other industries. The reason why SM can't block people in China is pretty obvious - they hold a tiny portion of general money flow in Chinese entertainment industry which means that they have very little influence.

tsuki2 1,571 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I was so surprised to hear SM could block people in Japan, but then wiaraewiwiare post pretty much answered it. So now I shall leave this thread with new knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
⊿ 2,282 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 SM's partner and ally in Japan is Avex which is one of the biggest most powerful companies in Japan. Trust me, SM itself is not that powerful in Japan. All those is Avex's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chihaya 419 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's only where they have enough power & control is the Korean music industry (not Kdrama/acting, just Korean music industry) They don't even have enough power in all of korea entertainment industry so there far from having power in other countries, but SM are trying to do so. That's there plan, to dominate korean & maybe many other asian entertainment industry. The nct plan said it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozima95 100 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Like people said, in Japan it is just Avex , not SM. SM has a lot of influence in the korean music industry, but that isn't even enough. The fact that JYJ is till banned has also to do with the fact that they are a threat to the image of korea/hallyu , since there lawsuit against SM could imply that there are any problems in the korean music industry (sarcasm end ) . It has kind of a political dimension , not just business . Pls don't jump on that bandwagon , SM has everything under there control . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly With Jessica 672 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 SM has connections with Avex (Japan). Korea is their turf and as someone said above it's music wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinaline 5,537 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 OP do your math. Korea's population = ~51 million, China's population = ~1, 368 billion. Think about it. Chinese are also extremely nationalistic. The Chinese will always support their fellow Chinese, regardless of how much money you can throw around. The Chinese way of doing business is not the same as it is in the rest of the world. They don't have to because China is the biggest financial power in the world. China has plenty of billionaires who's own individual worth makes SM's revenue look like chump change. The idea of SM controlling the career of a Chinese national in China or elsewhere is laughable. Jackie Chan, a Chinese national and friend to SM, cast Tao in his movie Railroad Tigers after Tao left SM to follow an independent career path. I am positive Jackie Chan did not okay it with SM first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everypart 11,409 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's not like they haven't tried. But if they're smart they will stop with the attempts because they have no power in China and even their affiliates are closely associated with those who left.

Daria~ 13,886 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Sigh... SM can't block people in Japan. Avex blocked JYJ in Japan.

SM only has limited influence on music industry in Korea, not other industries. The reason why SM can't block people in China is pretty obvious - they hold a tiny portion of general money flow in Chinese entertainment industry which means that they have very little influence. Basically, just came here to say this. Except, I don't think their influence over the music industry in Korea is limited at all. With the exception of big bang, twice and now BTS, all the highest-earning groups are from SME. That's not limited influence because it gives them a lot of clout otherwise they wouldn't have been able to block jyj for 6 -going on 7 years. I'm also not sure about Avex being the one to drop jyj because, why drop an artist yourself and then block them? I don't really know what happened between jyj and Avex but I don't understand why they'd drop then and then block them unless they felt that jyj posed a threat to their own acts.

Jeffrey Jung 19,680 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 the one blocking JYJ's activities in Japan is Avex not SM.... but they surrendered quicker than SM also SM has no power in China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nari.p 10 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 1st- SM doesn't have that influence and power in china 2nd- SM didn't block a Japanese person in Japan, JYJ are Korean, so probably it didn't really matter for Japan if they are blocked there but Kris, Lu, Tao are Chinese, China doesn't block their own artists just because of a foreign company, in my opinion if one of exo's Korean members left, china would have listened to SM and block him, and if JYJ were Japanese sm wouldn't be able to block them in their own country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
