small companies overtaking big three companies in the near future isn't as far fetched as it used to seem?

1 SM

2 Bighit

3 JYP

4 Pledis

5 YG

 

currently bighit and pledis both have one major physical album seller, bts and seventeen respectively. both of these groups alone were able to beat yg who currently have the active winner and ikon as major physical sellers (tho ik they didn't release much last year) and bts was able to beat jyp who has twice, got7 and 2pm as physical sellers. 

 

of course this is just a slice of the overall pie. pledis and big hit still need to be able to recreate their successful groups, pledis could soon with pristin, and keep their current acts stable. then there's company reputation and touring sales and other business expenditures ect ect. but it's just interesting to see how certain companies are actually able to breech the big three 'wall' in even one area. can't wait to see what this year holds.

you can't possibly call pledis or bh a small company but urgh idk

 

 

BH need to come out with more grps, and pledis is  prob gonna have another huge cash cow from pristin debut so most likely

 

(cube is on such a decline tho rip)

Overtake in what? Physical album sales aren't the thing that makes the Big 3 be the Big 3.

[minyoongigeniusjjangjjang]

YG suprised me but why should it be far fetched?

[VARSITY]

Yeah but these large companies have acting divisions, modeling divisions, partnerships with brands, established networks they can call on, no one would argue that pledis is a much smaller company than YG even if they sale more albums.

[blue7kaoru]

Ok but those are only albums sales. It takes a lot more than that to be a big company.

Just because other companies are growing doesn't mean the Big 3 are stagnating, they're growing just as much if not more.

Also SM YG and JYP are considered a part of the Big 3 because of their legacy and contribution to the Korean music industry, and this is smth the success of other companies can't erase.

[Maeo]

not in the near future because of what you said - they only have one successful group at the time and there's no certainty they will have more in the future. Also people forget that big3 is not just about idol groups - it's actors, models, entertainers and also other investements as in real estates, etc. I mean I'm not saying they'll never get there but I doubt that it'll be a near future.

Unlike smaller companies like Bighit and Pledis, the Big 3 don't solely rely on entertainment endeavours for their cash flow... SM has stakes in tourism, restaurants, clothing, etc... so it'll take more than one successful group to overtake them.

low key any company that is not big three is a small company. and big hit was completely nugu before bts hit big in like 2015. and pledis is just on a recent comeback with seventeen.

right.. my bad

 

i meant from all this years

 

[bzz]

side eye at FNC and Cube who used to be expected to replace JYP.

you clearly didn't read the second paragraph of what i said. 

[OfflineQueenOfOH]

OP don't dream too high for pledis,there are many more successful boy groups than seventeen while pristin hasn't even debuted. 

[Liliana]

Uhm the Big3 are not only within the entertainment, from SM I know they also invest in technology and food market like restaurants

 

And big3 is more about legacy, but there's a possibility

[Posy‪ℓuv]

Every few years there seems to be competition from a medium sized group to the Big3, but every time it ends up being the Big3 on top...

 

But who knows?

[eriy.m]

It's stable, BTOB kind of is carrying it right now. Don't know what their future plans are.

Lol i did. I know you said  Album sales are not enough but you still kinda overlooked that fact when starting this thread...

[Fish Tank]

big hit could end the whole idea of the big 3 if they debuted more artists

[Happykpopper]

don't you know all their branch in entertainment world.how old are you???
