Sooman has been ousted
BoA is getting hate left and right from kfans and ifans, ruining her legacy
Red Velvet's contract (2 year extension) ends next year
SM had to buy a daesang for NCT Dream to make them look more successful (I'm sure awards aren't the only thing they are buying)
EXO will come back, but they will be older and more jaded, so it won't be like the old days
Aespa was supposed to be SM's big hope but they are stuck in a limbo, with the Kwangya thing not being so popular and Sooman gone so there's no more vision behind it
If they don't get an MC in a major music show it will be another sign that they are losing their grasp within the industry
