Rants About SM Entertainment

Warning: I don't want to make a war. I just want to express my grief and thoughts about SM Ent., as well as for their artist. If you don't like my post or if you don't have to say something nice, then leave and shut your mouth. By the way, the things that I will write are based from the articles that I read, comments and thoughts of some readers in kpop news site portals. Correct me if I have a mistakes here arasseo?

 

SM Entertainment is one of the largest and most popular entertainment company in Korea. It is also a well-known company in the world for producing popular idols that can make them a multi-million dollar. In this group it includes one of the popular groups like TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), and EXO. I didn't include Red Velvet because they are a newbie but I bet they can be a money maker for SM.

In 2014 there are so a lot of issue's in SM. The biggest issue is Kris' lawsuit in SM. Last month it was Jessica's withdrawal(?) in Girls' Generation and now, same with Kris, Luhan's lawsuit against SM.

Let's tackle about Kris. When I heard this news, that Kris filed a lawsuit against SM and wants to leave the group. I was really shock and sad. Why? Because he was one of my ultimate bias. So I search all the articles about the reason why Kris filed a lawsuit and I read that his major reason is his health condition. SM overwork their artist and I think their allocation isn't fair. Especially in the Chinese artist, I read Hangeng's departure article and his reasons why he wants to leave SuJu and I read that there is a discrimination with him and s. Then I realize that Kris' case and Hangeng's case are like almost the same. It feels like history repeat itself. It takes a few weeks before I accept the fact that Kris is leaving EXO. After a few weeks, I heard that Kris is doing a film. Then a doubt played on my mind. Is Kris has a sick? or did he take the health condition reason as an excuse to leave EXO? If he really has a sick then he shouldn't be doing films and such, right? Then I came up that the reason why Kris wants to leave EXO is because he can't do the things that he want like acting. I heard that he likes to act and do films. Health condition, I think is also one of his reasons why he wanted to leave.

Next is the 'Baek-Yeol dating scandal'. I am not against in this couple because if they really love each other then let it be. Even though Taeyeon is my ultimate bias. I still support her as well as Baekhyun. The thing that makes me wonder is why did the SM reveal their relationship? Is because they wanted to cover up for Kris' lawsuit issue? That's the only thing that I think why did they reveal their relationship and also I heard that intimate relationship between labelmates aren't allowed.

Third is 'Sulli-Choiza relationship and her pregnancy issue'. I know that there is a huge between Sulli and Choiza but I am not against with it. And Sulli's pregnancy? Do you think that Sulli has a time to have with Choiza when she is busy promoting Red Light, doing commercials and such? (correct me if I am wrong). I don't think Sulli is pregnant. The thing that I wonder is why did SM confirm, again, their relationship? Is it to cover up Baek-Yeon dating scandal? and to cover up Kris issue? And why did they Sulli allow to take a rest and end up their Red Light promotion easily? I know being accused of pregnant is a big issue but really? Take a look up on Baek-Yeon. Did they allow Baekhyun and Taeyeon take a rest for a while and wait to calm down the issue? I think SM trying to clean their image by allowing and saying that they allow Sulli to take a rest and also I think there is a real reason behind it. Health issues of Sulli I think?

Fourth is Red Velvet debut. I know that red velvet's debut is planned before the SM issues came up but seriously, they appeared as a cover-up group. Why? Because everytime they make a comeback, which is coincidence, there's an issue in SM. I know that they planned and scheduled RV's comeback but really they appear as a distraction for those issues which makes me feel sad. RV is a talented. Irene, Seulgi, Wendy and Joy, they are beautiful and talented but it appears like that. Sadly, yes. ;A;.

Fifth, this is the worst issue that I have read, Jessica's being kick-out in Girls' Generation. Last month, I was really shock, sad, angry, mad, doomed, and mix emotion when I heard that SM kick Jessica in Girls' Generation. I wanted to go SM Entertainment along with the Sasaeng fans and bomb KYM's head. I search the articles regarding this issue and I read that the reason why SM kick Jessica is because of her business. Which is, reasonable. I am not a hater of Jessica, in fact she is my ultimate girl bias. But I think SM got a valid reason. Jessica established a business which is a fashion business. It is a hard one because you need to go to a fashion school (if necessary, I think), deal with the fashion designers that are willing to work with you around the country or in the world, and arrange many things. SM make Jessica choose between Blanc and GG and she chooses both which makes SM think ok as well as for the girls because she said she can manage both but the reality, she prioritize Blanc, which is need a lot of arrangements. I read that she didn't attend the rehearsals but she is present when the performance comes. It's like not attending practice soccer game but playing when there's a match. She's flying back and forth in New York(?) and go in the practice which makes her fatigue so I think the SM came up with the idea of kicking out Jessica because she can't manage both Blanc and GG. She really need to choose one. She can't have the best of both worlds.  Also, SM can't manage Jessica's business because I read that some of their artist who has a business are handled with SM in terms of avoiding time schedule conflict but Jessica's case was different. It was a personal business that no one can interfere unless Jessica would allow it. I heard that GG are involve with this, am I right? GG received a bash from the fans because they think they betrayed Jessica but I think they didn't want to lose her but they don't have a choice but to let her go. Because even if she tried and push, her health can affect from it. Now the thing that I was really pissed off is that they don't listen to Jessica's first and they make a desicion. They reverse the truth. Well I don't really know.

The last one is Luhan's lawsuit issue. Luhan's case are similar with Kris. Luhan's reason, according to Sina, are first the allocation isn't fair, second their is a discrimination between Chinese and Korean members, third his health issues, and I forgot the last one ;A;. Seriously, did SM learned from their mistakes? Why did they overwork their artist? Why did they giving discrimantion in their non-korean artist? Why did they let them have a proper rest? Why did they allow their artist to do the things that they want whether it is a professional or a personal one? Seriously are they greedy? I think so. Now there is a rumour that Lay and Tao will join Luhan and Kris and form another group that will promote in China. I hope this is just only a rumour because if this might be happened, sigh. I don't know what will I do.

As of now, YG Entertainment ranked as no.1 in the most richest company(?) in Korea. I am thinking if I will quit the fandom of EXO because there's a lot of issues with them. But thinking of their hardships and efforts. Their passion and the ability to smile and laugh even if they have a problems makes me wanted to support more even if they are facing a lot of issues today. I love SM ARTIST but not their current CEO and the management.  I am hoping and praying that the groups will stick together and can survive the stress that they feel. If I can do something for them that will make them happy and stress relief then I will do it. Also, I am hoping that SM will learn from their mistakes and give their artist a proper rest, equality, and respect because if they didn't do it, then their artist will leave them one by one.

I don't really know what's the main reason behind those issues. Especially to the people who leave their group. I don't know what's really behind the SM and their artist. I don't know what's behind in the close doors. Also, I notice that every month, their is a SM issues regarding with their artist. Don't you notice that? Two months remaining and let's brace ourselves and prepare our heart for the next issue that they will make. I really want Kim Young Min out and have Lee Soo Man back instead.

Anyway, if Kris and Luhan wishes to leave the group then I will support them with their decisions. You can't make a person stay if they wanted to leave. If you make that, then it will suffocate them. Let's just support, love and be happy for them as well as for the members they leave.

Let's support Kris, BaekYeon, Sulli, Jessica, and Luhan. Let's support EXO, f(x), SNSD and as well as for the other groups. Goodluck to us EXO-L's, SONES, Aff(x)tions, and especially the GorJess Spazzers ;A;.
