SM's expectations for Aespa seems to have changed

imagine doing these gymnastics in your head

how does G-IDLE (also a Kakao property) factor into this

Quote from godkingteshub

They probably want them to focus internationally

but what's "internationally" tho. Is it SEA/Indonesia, Europe, US/PR, Latin America?

just so i understand u

IVE -> Korea

aespa -> China

G-IDLE -> everything else?

> North America / Latin America

> Thailand because of Minnie

> China because of Yuqi, they are having a concert in Hong Kong

wait, your evidence is a world tour?

also whats with the ">" lol

I get what you mean, kakao has a lot to do with aespa, and their future. things will be very different now, and once SM's new girl group debuts, I think we'll see that a lot more clearly. SM doesn't feel like SM anymore. I wonder if lee soo man would want this for aespa.

Only stans care about petty sh*t like which idol is the #1. So long as both groups are under them and are printing money, these companies are happy and could care less.

So SM is just nothing more than a Kakao stooge now? Makes sense. Can't fight those large conglomerates in S.Korea. They hold all the power

I prefer the old Aespa and now I can finally get them out of my system/

I didn't know they were under Kakao ? As far as I know Cube just has (since december 2022) a distribution deal with Kakao, like RBW
