양 지 10,015 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 they changed it with NCT ^^ Exo contracts are shorter than TVXQ and SUJU's too apparently. So there's progress. I'm sure RV's is shorter than SNSD's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue7kaoru 17,423 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm gonna repeat it again. It's a 7 year contract for Korean promos and 3 years for foreign ones. And yes it's legal !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante. 7,795 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 no f(x) renews this year which is their 7th year, snsd renewed in their 7th year too. 10 year contract is (apparently) legal for groups that have a lot of overseas shit going on.. i guess.

Dew 1,652 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 7 year contract + 3 more years for overseas activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ღBelle Ame� 1,427 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Do you know this fosho or it's just a speculation? For SNSD I'm sure because they renewed in 2014 for 3 more years that will end next year and they debuted in 2007. please do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Don't Cry 5,451 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 No. The artists contracts are usually 7 years, but they can extend it if they work overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohsolively 5,219 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 It's not an "SM" thing It's a pretty standard contract for most kpop agencies - 7 years (domestic) + 3 years (if you promote internationally). Ofcourse it's ridiculous but people forget that these idols are not forced to sign these contracts but they want to be celebrities and pursue their dreams so they do it willingly. I'm not sure about music industry contracts in the US - but in TV it's kind of similar. Like the majority of network shows have 7 year contracts (for the principal cast) - so even if you hate it and want to leave you have to stick with it or pray to get killed off.

baiichi 3,992 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Trainee investment -> Long term contract reminds me of how governments sponsor students to study abroad but they have to come back and work for the country for at least double the amount of time they study or 10 years in some cases.

loup 1,751 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 i think contracts for boygroups are different than the ones for girlgroups. Because of the military service, a member of suju (i don't remember who) said during an interview that sm is freezing their contracts, and the company doesn't loose the time in the service under the time of contract. For example, it means to work 12 years for SM, 10 years of normal contract + 2 years transparent for the military service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
