Cube Entertainment signs 80 billion won deal with Kakao Entertainment

Welcome to the saejaeji circle. Gidle. Fighting !!!!

Every people who think a group under kakao have no privilege should read this.

Quote from selfmate

Cube Entertainment will use the proceeds from the deal for album production and related development.

Quote from bartkun

but Kakao ain't parent company

they are just distributor

Are you pretending not to understand? Do you think being a distributor like Kakao or YG doesn't give you any advantage in the industry? It's even explained here :

Quote from selfmate

The agency and distributor will split revenue 70-30 for music downloaded and 65-35 for music streamed.

Do you think a group belonging to Kakao should do this? No so they make money and so that money can be invested elsewhere. And when you're also the distributor, it's easier to promote your own products.

welcome g idle to kakao privilege

All my faves are under kakao now,

Quote from bartkun

ok most companies under HYBE umbrella have YG Plus

you look at SM and JYP and say but they have Dreamus what even is that?

Dreamus parent company is SK, and they have SK Hynix, SK Telefom, SK Innovation, SK Group,

that's same shit like Kakao... or even more

also to make a joke even Woollim had Kakao as distributor, not sure if this helped them in any way

and many companies had Stone as distributor, which is a CJ subsidiary

You really don't understand what i mean.

I'll say it in a different way :

If your company is also your distributor, you have an advantage because you are not dependent on someone else.

If it somehow helps Cube grow and continue to create, and keep, star groups around..that would be a good thing..they def. have unrealized potential to influence the game.

You do know that every companies expect the big3 got their albums/merch distributed by big distributors such as dreamus, yg select, HYBE, CJ and Kakao nothing has to do with being advantaged.

YGPlus is still the biggest digital and physical music and merch distributor by a hefty margin.

It's one of just 5 distributors that was chosen by IFPI to distribute ISRC codes in Korea. Basically labels have to go to YGPlus, whether they distribute for them or not to get it. It's how you are paid for your music and how sales are tracked.

  YG PLUS, selected as a record code manager by the International Music Industry Association

  Input 2021.03.02. 10:31 am Revision 2021.03.02. 10:32 am

  [Money Today Reporter Gunwoo Kim]

  YG PLUS announced on the 2nd that it has been selected as an International Standard Record Code ( ISRC ) manager by IFPI in London . ISRC is the only international standard code for recording and a permanent identification code, which is widely used internationally due to its high efficiency in copyright management. In particular, ISRC sound source registration is essential for global music platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, and Desser, and it is a necessary code to distribute sound sources and music videos to the global market. Currently, only 5 of the domestic distribution companies are registered as ISRC managers, and many distribution companies still receive ISRC through domestic music integration management system ( MIMS ) or overseas companies . YG PLUS was selected as the final manager in recognition of its internal distribution system and professional competence, and plans to distribute the sound source and video to the world by directly issuing ISRC codes to domestic agencies

I explained where the advantage is above. when you subtract something you must have a commercial agreement with this other company so you are dependent, and as explained in the article Cube will have to pay part of its income for the benefit of Kakao something that group from a company like YG or a company owned by Kakao don't need to do it is therefore a structural and also a financial advantage. The money you save in distribution can be invested elsewhere.

then this is a character development arc for cube, since in this year they learnt that a mid company can't go to a higher place if they fight alone...
