It's Happening, Kakao and SM to INK deal Next week.

Guess they finally managed to reach an agreement or oust LSM and his cronies.

Will be interesting to see how SM changes under new management.

If my memory serves me right, next week we would get the news that the deal is done then the day after that, one party denies.

I hope this happens for Eunbi's sake too. She's under SM subsidiary label Woollim. If she gets the backing of Kakao, the way they backed Stayc and Ive.....

Will be hilarious if Kakao really does acquire SME for a discount due to recent stock prices when LSM could've sold when stocks were higher but he messed around to delay the deal.

mind you stayc had already a top 10 when Kakao acquired High up. But yeah good luck to your girl

I would like to see if this means Kakao will now have the power to shove other producers into SM recoding sessions, since 2019 they are losing a couple of producers and their music has been becoming worse and worse.
