I wonder why scrapped/unreleased/vaulted kpop songs never surface via hacking

I'M NOT TALKING THE ORIGINAL DEMO THAT WAS COMMISSIONED FOR THE SONG OR THE SONGS BEING LEAKED LIKE A DAY IN ADVANCED. READ THE POST THANKS.

^Preemptive so I can banish anyone who posts this to the shadow realm. Yes I know songs that are officially finished and going to officially release get leaked, that's not what this is about. Also not talking about self leaks from the artist themselves, I hardly call that a leak lmao

I'm talking about songs that got to a short demo or rough demo phase, maybe just isolated vocals phase but never got passed that. Yes those leak all the time in the west for artists like Joji, Kelly clarkson had like 200 of them leak, Ariana grande, Lana del rey, etc.

Examples;

List of unreleased songs

Lana Del Rey has been recording material since at least 2005 under various names, including Elizabeth Grant, and pseudonyms such as May Jailer, Lizzy Grant and…

Unreleased songs

There's entire marketplaces for this because fans will buy the unfinished/scrapped songs. One notorious hacker went by Music Mafia that had a crazy amount of music from years back that was scrapped. Most of these songs were saved to google drive by the artists, producers, or managers for some reason which is why they were able to get crazy deep catalogs.

I wonder how with the terrible management in a lot of kpop companies, how some scrapped songs don't leak, especially from artists who have confirmed that have scrapped music. Are they just not insane enough to save them to google drive? I don't expect the groups who throw the first 12 songs on the album to have scraps, or rookies, but surely groups that write their own stuff have them. Nayeon already confirmed they have scrapped songs. There's no way exo/bts/seventeen/twice don't have scraps that black hatters wouldn't try to make a quick bitcoin buck out of.

I feel like she leaked it herself because she was fed up with yge for the missed opportunity

yeah no, she absolutely leaked it herself so I wouldn't count it. My reasoning for not counting self leaks is simple; fuck oppressive companies, it's the artist's work, why shouldn't them posting it be treated the same as official release? the one who made the work posted it. It's super common to self-leak when the agency is being a POS and won't let you release anything

they saved it in the form of magnetic tape

So smarter than western artists who keep scraps from like 10 years ago

Quote from nana18

I always wondered that cuz i would kill for black pink scraped songs and i know they have many of them because if i remember at their debut they were supposed to release 8 songs with MVS during the year of their debut and we all know we were payed dust, same thing for Loona what i would give to listen to La Maison 😭

no shot they didn't get deleted. we know yg could be hacked by a script kiddy, and it would've happened already given how much they'd sell for if they existed. they aren't keeping the scraps
