Article: f(x) Victoria, parts ways with SM and is 'totally' in China now

1. [+726] Pisses me off that she got to make all that money in Korea

2. [+453] And when any of them try to come back, please don't accept them again. Please remember what the Chinese celebrities are always doing to us.
 
3. [+327] Just think of her as another foreign laborer who was on our TV for a while before making her money and going back home 👏👏👏

4. [+190] Did she go back home to eat malatang

5. [+138] And don't come back

6. [+124] Yup~ piss off far away ^-^

7. [+86] The reason SM keeps training Chinese idols is because most of the album and goods purchases are by the Chinese fandoms...;; They give a ton of support for their idol groups so how could you expect SM to just ignore such a huge cash cow ㅋㅋ Don't leave comments as if Victoria's the only one who financially benefitted from this deal...

8. [+61] Who cares...

9. [+46] Please be a nicer person 😂

10. [+34] Farewell, hope to never see you again

11. [+33] I don't know she was still living in Korea all this time

12. [+23] One of the f(x) members I could never warm up about
 
13. [+21] Please stop taking foreign kids and debuting them here ㅠㅠ you know that we have our own trainees who are sweating blood and tears for this job...

14. [+17] I guess she'd be considered a patriot in China since she sucked all of our money out and took it back home

15. [+87] Please... please stop picking Chinese idols... SM has had so many problems with Chinese idols but they're still picking them..

1. [+754] I wonder if any f(x) member would even want to stay with SM ㅋㅋㅋ SM seems to be the only person who doesn't understand how popular f(x) is

2. [+274] Farewell, I won't see you out far

3. [+206] Farewell, and don't come back again~~

4. [+173] So SM has no f(x) member left under them anymore... it's true, only SM doesn't know how popular f(x) is

5. [+168] Taiwan #1

I thought she already left long time ago, now I'm just waiting for yixing to left so ot9 exol stop being so delusional about him, but I guess he's going to wait until his contract ends since he can't win a lawsuit against SM and just to avoid the mess

They made a good point. Everyone feeling so bad for SM, but they're the ones that keep finding Chinese trainees to debut even though they're fully aware of the political tensions between China and Korea. They're obviously getting something out of it so why would they stop?

As long as Korean companies can keep making money with Chinese idols and Chinese fan support, they will continue to debut Chinese idols. The current model of of the K-industry is not self sustaining which is why these entertainment companies continue to vie for outside support (first it was Japan, then China now they're aiming for the West).

I can't really disagree though.  IIRC, most of f(x)'s albums sales just come from individual fans of Victoria and Krystal. The vast majority of Victoria's stans are in China so f(x) did have quite a dependency on China.  The fact that Krystal was among the most popular non-Chinese k-pop idols in China made f(x)'s dependency on China even stronger.
