do they have more connections and resources than smaller labels tho? subsidiaries are independent of kakao, this is not a hybe situation where the main company is involved in their subsidiaries, is more like SM, where the subsidiaries are independent, ATBO or Just B are kakao groups, where are the connections?
big 4 privilege is more than connections, the groups have a fanbase as soon as the news that a new group debuts
Bro, why do Kpop fans do this? Do you think Kakao just wastes millions of dollars buying up all these smaller labels just to let them fail and cost them money? In what world does this make any sense? Unless there are extreme outlying circumstances involved, companies buy up other companies to MAKE MONEY OFF THEM. So of course, Kakao will use whatever resources it has to help make their purchases a success. Sometimes, the groups just dont succeed though.
