Why are Hybe/Kakao groups making more noise this year than the big 3?

Hybe: NewJeans, Lsrfm; Kakao: Ive, CSR. These four groups are what people are talking about this year, while hype for big 3 groups like Itzy, Nmixx, BP, Aespa are not as big. What happens to big 3 power?

CRS is from a kakako subsidiary?

I did not know that.

OP sneaking CSR in like we didn't notice

Hybe: every group besides newjeans tanked digitally this year and are selling cheap albums for investors also will tank in profit after buying Itacha, bts enlisting will start the downfall since they are too dependent on them

Kakao: just like hype don't make good profit and sell cheap albums to inflate sales for investors not making good profit, most of their income is not from music industry

SM: Makes the most profit and has groups that sell like crazy, Aespa is the highest selling 4th gen group and still has the highest circle digital points for 4th gen group this year

YG: BlackPink alone outdid any kpop group this year

JYP: 3 groups selling atleast a million and skz coming for 2m soon (the most for any company in SK)

Lmao crs is so nugu that I have to add kpop so they appear on my search

This is a straight up lie. Lesserafim literally outcharted aespa and twice and nmixx in korea, and itzy only did marginally better after going viral. Fearless is still in melon top 30 half a year later, and it did well on spotify too, better than aespa and itzy and nmixx. That’s the opposite of tanking lmao. Try again

Love how you ignored that IVE outcharted every group in SK in every chart and had the best performance internationally as well after BP. And I dont even have to say that they outsold almost every other group with a single

Where? Enhypen has normal priced albums and the least versions after BTS.

SM: Makes the most profit

Where again? This shows me you know nothing about companies and their profits.

SM is barely keeping a floats after all of Aespa and NCT's cheap digipacks, youtube ads, and American promotions that went absolutely nowhere. Where's the profit? Aespa's 6k showcase that they had to give away tickets for? NCT's concerts that didn't sell out?

Lesserafim underperformed after that huge amount of hype and they will continue to decline since they are lackluster. They actually tanked the first half of HYBE profit this year.

You think lesserafim and newjeans make more money than ITZY, Aespa or RV?? LOL

They are in their debut year and in 3 years from now I'm sure neither group will be anywhere to save HYBE.

HYBE had a huge loss after debuting so much groups in one year and no BTS

No one ignored them it's the same exact problem

IVE don't bring any good profit and after that sample they getting pennies from after like

I'm sure all these rookies have trainee debt, you don't understand do you?

In terms of overall profits IVE would put companies like SM/ into bankruptcy

Kakao can carry all these companies since they do decent in other non-music businesses

Their single albums are also very cheap

Remember companies like the big 3 didn't have to sell majority of shares to corporations just to sustain themselves.

That's why corporations like HYBE won't last

The LSRFM slander lol. Fearless still going strong after almost five months on Melon and LSRFM was one of only three GGs invited to attend the prestigious Yonsei Akaraka along with top dogs Newbeans and Ive.

famous last words lmao you’re talking so brave and for what? a baseless wishful thinking “prediction” that you present as facts because you want it to come true? delusional.gif

I can't believe you're lying like this when they outsold your faves with only a single and already are the most successful Kakao group ever and 2nd best charting gg in SK AND internationally in only 9 months active looool

IvE wouldn't bring any profit when Wonyoung alone is richer than all members of other groups combined?

Why are you lying like that when facts are free for anyone to see the fanfic, the delusion. I know this is anons where fanfics go wild but even this is too much.

I know why you're saying this on anon it's because you know how ridiculous it sound, there's no way you'd say this on main

Yall so dumb, biting the bait made the anon poster
