Why doesn’t IU invite SM groups to perform as guests in her concert?

    Approved the thread.

    Because IU doesn't invite artist who only lip syncing during their performances.


    ITZY sings live and are known to have great vocals.

    Itzy are just the better group, especially in terms of live performance

    Come on now! I like Itzy more than Aespa, but no-one loves Itzy for their vocals. IU probably booked them because they put on a great show. Vocally they are weak. Even Lia isn't stable live. And it's not like their songs are vocally challenging in the first place.

    kinda embarassing if sm act lip syncs per usual while iu sings live

    ITZY are vocally better than Aespa by miles. Let's not lie now. IU would never invite a lip syncing group to her concert.

    if iu would've invited an sm group it would've been shinee who she is close with but shinee probably had scheduling conflict that couldn't be moved

    Come on.. there is no conspiracy in everything or shades to thrown.


    It is no reflection on the skills of Aespa or management of SM, intentions of IU etc.


    Jonghyun was a guest at her 2014 concert. So there is no ban on SM artists.


    Most of these things are merely matter of aligning schedules and relationships built over years by people in the industry.

    Favours traded etc.

    Why does she need to?


    IU is close with quite a few SM artists, there's no beef there. She picks whoever she wants to for her concerts, it's not a diss on other companies or artists if she doesn't pick theirs.


    Not everything is some big giant conspiracy like kpop fans like to imagine.

    Aespa at least would've served a better background dancers for IU, all focus would be in IU.
