Good thing and a bad thing about the Known companies

[지우____]

Hiii~ I really wanna know everyone opinions about the good thing and the bad thing about the companies so let’s start:


SM Entertainment;
Good thing: They have amazing Main vocals and Main dancers. The most talented members are actually talented and are really focussed on performing. They’d Boygroups are really different from each other, and their visuals are amazingly styled.

Bad thing: Their GG’s aren’t really different from each other, except for SNSD. F(x) and RV got the experiment tag on them hence why Me U’s and Reveluvs have been fighting against each other to show who’s Group is the most versatile. The bad treatment with foreign members. The overworking of the Boygroup members (EXO, SJ, TVXQ).

YG Entertainment.
Good thing: Their music is enjoyable, Their artists are charismatic and are really different compared to the other Artists from zither companies. They have really good rappers, and have unique vocalists.

Bad thing: They aren’t versatile, at all. Winner, Akmu and Lee Hi are the only different ones. But Ikon-BB, And BP-2NE1 is really obvious. Their music isn’t even different from each other because it is mainly “Hip-Hop”. I’m
The delayed debut of T13. (I’ve wasted my time watching the Survival show). The Criminal Activities Of OT4 Big Bang. The controversy among Ex-YG artist B.I. YG is in such a hugeness mess that they can’t even be seen as a good company, Let’s not forget the Useless signing technique they have, which is just going to waste the vocals of their Artists even though they GG’s Potential. And the Obvious favouritism of Him. (No tea or shade but if I was a BP member and one member got pushed to the front for 3 Years, got favoured more, Got the best clothes, Got the most promotions. I wouldn’t have been calm like the rest of the Members I would have gone riot and mad lol).


JYP Entertainment
Good thing: Their artists give off the nice girl Boy charm off. The typical girl /Boy next door. They are actually much hyper compared to other artists (Hyper as in much more active, Smiley and Happy). All of his groups are different. WG-MissA aren’t comparable, neither are Twice-ITZY. Same goes for his Boygroups too. There’s much more versatile within the company, and the company actually educates them on a lot of things. JYP produces Idols. They aren’t as vocally talented as SM, have amazing rappers as YG. But they are much more all rounded and have strong stage presence and Charisma.

Bad thing: He gotta change the signing technique. It’s all good and nice until they can’t improve their singing and are stuck with that technique and can’t explore different singing technique. And it’s much better to hire an actual vocal Teacher. I wanna know the tea about the Cult thingy, it got explained by him buttttt we need the tea. And I can actually understand the MissA favouritism. Suzy brought more money, if he didn’t promote Suzy like this then JYP wouldn’t have been JYP.


BigHit.
Bad thing: Actually BigHit is actually really hard to pin up. Because they still have a ex-Artist who went to jail for blackmailing, but they couldn’t do anything about it. The one thing that I do want to mention though is that I really hope that BTS themself want to comeback this much. Love the guys but at this point they are getting overworked (understandable though, they Gotta pay for the food of BigHit). One thing that I’ve though about is, what will happen if BTS won’t be active? If TxT won’t climb up faster then that would be a problem for both the company and the members. Let’s not forget that some of the staff sell the locations of BTS to Sasaengs. The reason why they have packed up information of BTS.

Good thing: they are actually overly a good company. Bang PD showed that he wouldn’t be a failed company. And his groups have amazing songs.





Okkaayyyy now I wanna know you guys opinions

Bad Things:
SM: Experiments too much, doesn't treat their groups well even if their groups are doing amazing like EXO or SNSD they still neglect them.
YG: Drug Store, Criminal Organisation
JYP: Timing with Schedules, their Design, and Marketing team lacks quality.

Good Things:
SM: Taeyeon
YG: Nothing really
JYP: Amazing songs from TWICE bop after bop after bop, added better rappers with Stray Kids and debuted another successful girl group, Itzy.


BigHit good and bad is them having BTS with bts they rise without bts they flunk...

Well since I follow most JYP groups I do kinda agree that JYP needs to stop imposing this specific technique on his artists. Not to mention alot of the songs he partakes in nowadays feel very VERY outdated. And when you see artists leave JYPE it makes perfectly sense that they're still on good terms cuz there's no doubt that it's a very humane company but the artists would not want to work with him since they do not get full creative control over their art.

Exactly. Sunmi recently said that too. If he actually lets them go and do a bit of what they want then they’ll be successful.

I don't know much about JYP but I have some opinions on the rest

SM : good points are good vocalists and dancers, I think they train their trainees well. Also I feel like in the recent years, their groups are more interactive with the fans, they often come up with interesting events (fansigns and concerts/fanmeetings aside). bad points are the company's extravagance. they want to be so unique and innovative that they often come up with bad ideas (I really don't like the concept behind NCT, and now Super M) they can't manage two boygroups/girlgroups at the same time, they must think debuting a new group means the previous one will be forgotten, so they give their new groups better promotion/management and malmanage their well established groups (suju => shinee, shinee => exo, exo => nct).

if we talk strictly about the music and the performances, I think SM deserves its reputation. on a business point of view I don't know much but I feel like they're trying really hard to stay relevant as of late. I don't follow a lot of SM groups outside of Red Velvet so I can't tell.

YG : good point that is also a bad point, the "unique" YG brand. It makes all their groups/artists recognizable, when you look at one/listen to one of their artists you think 'they must be from YG". YG's brand becomes a problem because once their groups are labelled as "hip hop" or "rnb", people won't check out b-sides (that aren't in that genre) if they don't like hip hop/rnb. tbh when I was young I was a fan of Big Bang and 2NE1 because I liked the genre, but now all their groups sound the same to me. It lacks variety imo.

BH : honestly I can't find any good point in that company anymore outside the fact that they have BTS to sustain them and give them a "big company" label. the company is blinded by money, overworking their artists with tours to earn a lot of money at once, no longer communicates with the fans, built a "woke" image of BTS only to involve them in not-so-woke projects like concerts in saudi arabia, collab with right-wing producer, collab with a sexist toy company. they don't listen to what the fans want, instead they go their own ways and rarely fix problems that their decisions cause. they wait for things to blow up to make a statement about it (jm t-shirt incident) because they think as long as they don't talk about it, the medias won't catch up, but the medias always catch up because journalists are looking at the group's activities and the fanbase that has a huge presence on social media, not what the company does.

In a way they were good at business at one point, because they managed to promote BTS enough to get them where they are today. But they haven't done much since they gained a huge fanbase of sheeps ready to buy everything with the BTS name on it. It's unclear if they want BTS to remain a k-pop group or a band that promotes both in Korea and US/UK.

I'll only speak on SM and YG. While I stan Twice and BTS, I don't look or care enough to look into JYP and Big Hit.

SM knows how to cater to fans and they know how to grow a group but the bad thing about SM is that after a set number of years they don't manage the groups well. Take Super Junior for example. They promoted Super Junior extremely well until the Mamacita album was released. Super Junior was responsible for promoting the album like making shirts to wear to music shows. SM created Label SJ just to appease fans.

YG also knows how to cater to fans with the "YG artists are different". An obvious bad thing about YG is the image. The new CEO hasn't even publicly tried to fix the image of YGe or denounce Seungri at all. While Seungri did retire and he's no longer a member of BigBang, the only thing YG has done publicly is remove his merch from the YG store silently (fans only figured it out by looking it up). YG's management is also very poor. GD was very well going through a mental breakdown in 2017 but the company pushed him to tour with the group right after his solo tour ended. The whole fiasco with 2NE1. If YGe wants to get rid of this negative image, they need to denounce Hyunsuk, his brother and Seungri publicly and condemn their actions.

And they should kick the artists who are in hiding for their drug use. And I completely agree with the rest!

Completely agree

Just my misguided two cents:

SM
Good: it's really big and they seem decent at scouting and grooming talent.
Bad: maybe they should focus on being an entertainment company. It seems most of their lack of proper promotion for older groups and some scheduling mishaps could be solved if they were more focused instead of being a money hungry corporation.

YG
Good: they have unique vibe (personally this would be a bad because it too westernized for me). They have a good balance of talent and star power.
Bad: I don't need to mention all the crap is going on there. However, again like SM they should focus more on being an entertainment company than using it to basically laundry money. Also, their lack of proper promotion for their non-main male artists is very infuriating. Some justify as a style, but it seems like wasted opportunities. Maybe it has to do with relying too much into self-production so they can maintain their unique color, but in this case they should expand more to crank more content.

JYP
Good: I think they adjust well from their past mistakes (considering big companies tend to be pretty slow at that) and they are focused on entertainment. JYP gives proper promotions overall (although soloists situation is bad yet). They are pretty good at image building and scouting star power artists.
Bad: maybe they should have better ways to groom the talent aspect. It seems it has room for improved. It seems that JYP overextend themselves when try to expand outside Korea. Maybe they should do it in a more organic way (like partnerships). Hopefully their plans for Japanese GG works fine.

BigHit
Too soon to judge. I don't follow BTS too much, but I like news related to companies. I'm a bit more invested in knowing more about them because of their recent acquisition of SouMu. Overall they seem to be doing pretty good overall compared to their origins. Not sure how their want for expansion by buying out companies will work out.
