What subdivision Kakao Entertainment should promote the most? Edam, IST, Starship or SM?

    what subdivision Kakao Entertainment should promote the most? 14

    1. Edam (0) 0%
    2. IST (0) 0%
    3. Starship (4) 29%
    4. SM (10) 71%

    Now, because Kakao has acquired SM, Lee Jieun has become the Senior Singer of the entire Kakao Entertainment, senior to all SM acts although the older acts, especially super junior for obvious reasons, will probably choose to bolt out.


    Although Lee Jieun does not control any other labels in Kakao Entertainment, her voice is much more equal than that of others and it is likely that the singer who used to own Edam Entertainment will try to pull a Min Heejin to the various acts acquired from SM, moving some of them under Edam so she could manage them.


    A giant step for Lee JIeun, who had been defeated by NewJeans and her tendency to date the strangest of men had put her into a jeopardy but thanks to Kakao's ambition she gets a new lease of life.


    That aside, what label Kakao should push the most? Traditionally it pushed Edam above IST, which never really got the love it deserve, and now , because of IVE, Starship is promoted.


    It is likely that Kakao will put a priority to SM, and set Starship and IST aside, although due to her undeserved influence in K-O-R-E-A Lee Jieun will still retain a huge influence in KakaoE.


    That means IST and possibly Starship acts will be sidelined because of this merger.

    Not an entire "subdivision" but a single artist


    Pls give more love to Jeong Sewoon, he deserves it :pepelove1:

    Quote from K-PL

    I feel the marketing money will pour instead into Aespa, NCT and maybe the next girl group from SM.


    They have never spent money marketing IU because her potential for growth is limited outside Korea. The same applies now to Starship groups, as Aespa's potential outside Korea surpasses WJSN and Ive.

    Except in this situation Kakao Entertainment will run its show and the singer who stayed with it for the longest gets to call the shots here

    SM for sure. They paid a lot of money for it, they better damn well make use of it. For ages, it looks like LSM basically siphoned off a ton of profits from SM, which depressed its share price and caused them to have much lower cash reserves than they should have given their massive revenue streams. SM probably would be 150M USD richer right now if it wasnt for LSM's schemes, which had previously diverted tens of millions of dollars every year into his personal company.


    Imagine having an additional 150M in cash to promote their acts, put out high quality concerts, expand into other countries, etc. =O=O

    The companies in which they own the highest percentage.
