Actually jonghyun, Yuri, Changmin, Sooyoung,Leetuek, Onew, Henry,, Seohyun, Donghae, Eunhyuk, all wrote(and some like key and Minho helped) songs. Also, neither Yuri, Jessica , Yoona nor Sooyoung acted with idols. Krystal also didn't act with idols. Donghae(not the face btw) acted with actors as well. So yeah, Sm isn't really as "controlling" as you'd think. Besides, I doubt Sm being in full charge of infinite and their music.

Holy .
Excuse my language...
But I didn't know this was happening. I'm scared.

Hmmm... SM C&C is a part of SM Ent. That part has resources and is responsible for marketing. That part merged with Woollim Ent to form Woollim Label. Artists under Woollim will still be under Woollim and managed by Woollim. Just that Woollim Label would now have access to resources SM C&C has. I get the feeling as if SM ent forced Woollim to merge with reading this post. Woollim's CEO has a brain of his own and resources to produce a one billion won worth music video for Infinite. I sincerely believe that Woollim's CEO is not dumb and is doing this because he thinks they could benefit from it. Ehe. Dw. It's not like the artists would be under one house.
