Do you think Sm is xenophobic ?

I would've taken this thread more seriously if this wasn't about a track video. Like who cares about screentime in those videos?

Quote from SooYoung

The precedent show us not only in SM, that foreign members always end up back in their country when they consider that they gain enough from their korean activities

Just look at EXO, WJSN, even yanan from pentagon is focusing much more on china than korea etc...

could be a chicken and egg scenario: are they leaving cause they're underappreciated or is SM treating them like that cause they're flaky

Which label isn't xenophobic?

I don't think it's about xenophobia. I think it's more around pushing who is popular and can take the whole group up with them. The reality in Aespa is that Karina and Winter are more popular than Ning and Giselle. SM have traditionally pushed their "visual" members more anyway.

There have been plenty of other other examples that refute the xenophobia claim. Luhan and Lucas are probably the two best examples. They got pushed harder than some Korean members because they were more popular.
