RE : Aespa and their lack of fans in the states

aespa is not popular yet but sm will still push them. They did the same with nct.

that's scalpers problem not SM

SM has made their money and they don't care whether the scalpers are able the resell tickets for profit

can the scalpers get a refund? if they can that's when SM starts crying.

otherwise SM wouldn't be worried.

Scalpers have always been a thing outside of kpop, it will sell out easily.

But yes it’s true I noticed some drags used against aespa were used to BP interesting

That's what they should do as a K-pop company, though. If K-pop companies don't promote their groups, popular or not, what are they even doing?

If a group isn't popular but the company still promotes them, that company is doing a great job. It means they believe in their groups and artists.

sm is very good at giving full support to newer groups without looking at their popularity and even puting older groups aside for them.

Honest question does the company still make money if scalpers are the ones who bought all the tickets? Does it matter if only a few fans actually attended the concert despite a sold out show? Like what is considered a successful sold out show?

Quote from atropos

They overestimated aespa's popularity most probably if this is true. Older groups with bigger fanbases and popularity are doing venues with similar or smaller capacities. Also it's true that it's not always possible for fans to go to concerts with such short notice.

They are running too fast

So a week ago SM announced Aespa’s LA showcase that will take place on June 26th in the Youtube Theater ( 6,000 capacity) and at first everything was completely fine, it was announced that all the tickets were sold out in like 2 hours so SM decided to add a second night for the showcase due to big demand.
After a few hours more than half of the seats were available for resale for CRAZY prices, I literally saw tickets for $2,000 just…

SM might have forgotten that before people buy tickets for a concert, they plan on air flight, hotels, expenses etc.

At least a month would have sufficed
