SM isn’t a subsidiary of Kakao but imo these type of things depend on how the company promotes it rather than the status of the company.
Like HYBE pushes the HYBE branding even though they have independently operating subsidiaries perhaps because they are not a legacy company.
While SM has a billion artists since they have been around for ever and does not promote their subsidiaries under one brand so not even billlie gets considered as Aespa’s label mate.
TLDR : you’re a label mate only if you promote under the same brand

i think i can follow this logic, so is what you're saying is, it depends on whether the "KAKAO" brand gets thrown around?

That happens bc Kakao is a tech company that just buys music companies that work independently to increase revenue
While Hybe is a music company that buy and create music labels focused in music
It's very easy to tell the difference, thats why Kakao groups dont feel like labelmates, music will never be Kakao's focus
