[NETIZENBUZZ] I WONDER WHAT’S THE ATMOSPHERE WITHIN SM..

The recent conflict between SM and its artists can be viewed in three possible ways:

1. Lee Sooman left, and the new power within the company is trying to control the artists.
2. Due to the artists’ misbehavior or poor character, the internal company atmosphere is negative, leading to missed opportunities.
3. It’s just the company’s incompetence.

Whatever it may be, it would be great if more revelations keep coming out ㅋ This is getting fun

This is just my opinion, but isn’t Taeyeon on her 3rd contract renewal? At this point, her pay must be way higher than the rest of the singers there. So even if RIIZE or aespa don’t generate as much revenue as Taeyeon, from the company’s perspective, the profit would still be much higher working on these groups. However, since she’s been around for longer, she probably won’t just follow orders without questioning them… That’s why she probably thinks she’s treated poorly

They seriously lost their touch.. We’re not talking about anyone, this is Soshi’s Taeyeon and RV’s Wendy. How can you omit them? ㄷㄷ I feel like it’s probably a mix of 1,2,3 that OP wrote ㅋㅋㅋ They’re not in their right minds

Just looking at the history of the MV delays and how the company handles things for decades, the answer is clear, right? ㅋㅋ This time, the announcement was even late, causing many people to request refunds, so isn’t it strange to blame the artists for this?

It seems like it’s turned into a matter of pride between them. Since Taeyeon is the face of the company, from SM’s perspective, they might be thinking, “Do you really think you can do well elsewhere? SM’s image is significantㅋㅋ ” Isn’t that the case? In fact, among the idols who have already left SM, there aren’t many who have had noticeably more opportunities. Kyuhyun’s opportunities are minimal, and Taemin hasn’t really had much either

If they’re thinking about #2, then if that’s the case, the company is just being stupid. The company is an organization that prioritizes profit, so are they really going to deprive opportunities and let Taeyeon and Wendy go? ㅋㅋ Especially Taeyeon, she’s an income source with music, performances, endorsements. nothing is missing from her. Wouldn’t they think it would be a shame if Taeyeon doesn’t perform at SMTOWN concerts? Moreover, as they keep releasing articles about people not attending, it’s causing a lot of noise right before the 30th anniversary. What’s in it for the company’s profits?
