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

Quote from Stage Presence Judge (49)

delusional much. ITZY is the most popular 4th gen gg in Korea. What are you talking about?

two bad takes in one thread

Quote from YG Dungeon Guard (825)

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.

lmao itzy have a harder choreo than eggspa

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

ITZY sings live and are known to have great vocals.

you are confused, they are known for their great dancing skills not vocals... they are actually known for having bad vocals lol

itzy and great vocals do not belong in the same sentence

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

Agree, That's right because she personally invited SHINee to the Pallette series. She's more closer to Shinee. But Shinee will be back as a group next year as Taemin is in the military.

IU doesn't know aespa so you expect her to invite aespa. When IU became close and befriended ITZY on the her Pallette show, the answer is as simple as that. The lame comments like she should've called the new popular rookie groups are hilarious.

Yes, it is somewhat an honor to be invited by IU either to Palette show or more so to guest in her concert.

But a non-invitation is not a judgment. It is purely the main act's choice i.e. "IU's" and then matter of schedules and deals.

IU is close with some of the SM artists ..Shinee obviously.

Sulli was in SM, Seohyun was in SM. Luna..

And Blackpink haven't guested either, though other YG artists have.

So it is not a matter of the "Company", but personal rapport, backed by the agencies.

Maybe Aespa haven't had an chance yet to interact with her, pandemic and all.

As simple as that.

It's funny seeing anons drag SM groups for lip syncing when the rest of the industry does it. It's also funny knowing that the minute the mic is on those SM groups would devour anons' faves alive, which is why these anons are hiding here.

is she even close to any?

Maybe she just likes them more. Twice was also a guest a few years ago back in 2018.

It is not even company clout or politics... for example if it were up to JYPE, they would have sent NMIXX since ENTWURF was immediately happening.

Whereas both Itzy and Twice are pretty much done for the year with their releases and promotions.

So it is IU explicitly asking for Itzy, because they have a connection with her and JYPE throwing everything out of the way to make it happen.

It has nothing to do with the company SM/JYPE etc,

People went IU concert for IU not for other artists. I have no idea why IU invite others.

I bet people who go there have no interest in listening Itzy lmao.

The question is not about what the "concert goers" want, but why IU chose them.

And in Korea, an endorsement by IU, is quite valued.

So it is only natural that the reasons are analysed.
