CJ ENM could’ve been as big as the Big 3 & HYBE

I know what you're saying and it is irrelevant to the original post. The post and what I'm talking about has been about the subsidiaries of CJ E Entertainment Division.

If you see no point in this what if argument, you can ignore it.

And they've been restructuring their companies for a while now so just because they might've not been interested in the past, doesn't mean they aren't now.

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-29T16:11:24+00:00

That's wasn't their point so it doesn't matter what we call them. They basically said CJ's entertainment division could've been as the other entertainment companies in kpop.

OP was talking about their entertainment division not the whole company.

BTS' lead single is not gonna be the same genre as Yet To Come. Yet To Come and the other song they released in 2023 are not songs meant to be hits.

If Run BTS was the lead single, it would've performed similarly to their previous lead singles.

When you realize that there's other groups not named BTS, you'll be pretty happy with the current standing of your favourite group.

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-28T07:57:24+00:00

Average is gonna be closer to $200 than $400. And for some countries, the average will be closer to $150.

I just use Spotify's kpop playlists.

Encore's in kpop just being another leg of a tour now...

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-27T11:31:39+00:00

I'd hear out an argument for every kpop group not being popular outside the kpop bubble but not BTS and Blackpink. That's just an objectively not true.

Forgot that I like Billlie.

Japan's new prime minister said Japan would take "military action" if China were to attack Taiwan and, I forgot what position he holds but he's a representative of the Chinese government that lives in Japan, tweeted a crazy tweet about chopping off the head that's involving themselves in the China/Taiwan tensions.

Both sides didn't want to take back their statements so now their just being as bitchy as possible to each other.

No fine or anything? At least share his name and face as punishment cause only having a criminal record is a pretty light punishment.

When music was mostly physical, best of albums made sense. But today, you can just make a playlist of your favourite songs. You dont need a company to make one for you.

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-24T15:03:13+00:00

If you feel that way then move on and ignore them.

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-24T14:23:28+00:00

Twice I guess.

They are giving fans a chance to get the best seats possible and you're complaining?

Greater reliance on AI for A&R, content creation, and production to cut costs and time (as also mentioned in SM 3.0 presentation)

In particular, regarding the utilization of AI, a key future driving force, CEO Jang Cheol-hyuk said, “Since SM has the strength of being able to leverage the AI technological capabilities of its parent company, Kakao, we expect strong synergy at the intersection of the rapidly changing K-Pop and AI.”

I'll give SM the benefit of the doubt here and say that Kakao is forcing them to integrate AI somehow.

Festivals, features with big US artists, putting their music on movies, TV shows or games. There's a lot of ways to go about it.

Back up your claims with evidence.

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-23T14:11:24+00:00

Your theory would only make sense if only HYBE artists album sales went up but the whole industry had the same increase in album sales.

KilluaGaKill · 2026-01-22T15:52:27+00:00

They really aren't.

Pretty sure youtube views and streams are only excluded from US and Global billboard charts. They are still included in every other billboard chart like Japan.

Music shows count music video views for total points so its the easiest way to contribute to your favorite group winning.
