Hybe payola will be the damnation of the kpop industry

So HYBE is competent, what's the problem then?

there was never fair game, it was always anything goes to get to the top

so I don't see anything wrong

the smart and strong will survive and stay at the top

ok

They have to spend BTS money somehow.

Hybe is the Korean Disney

Other companies can only sit and cry

Quote from randkpopstan

They need to set limits and have so shame, even if you have the power to do whatever you want you shouldn't, this ill-it case is taking things too far.

Big 3 did things far more serious and shameful than sending their undebuted idols to Paris Fashion Week. Do a thread on that instead

Quote from randkpopstan

The big 3 where greedy but incompetent

this rant is off to a great start lmao

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

YamaChwan we have a winner!

I just wish homie had hit the enter key more than once

Eh Hybe is a billionaire corporation, and they are at the level to give everything for their next gen rookies.

Between Hybe and YG and SM it's Hybe all the way I'm sorry

Yeah that one is a 100% converted troll unlike Yanmega

Quote from randkpopstan

Where are the proofs of that? Mention a few my friend

You new to Kpop ? When did you get in ?

When will they do this with fromis_9

Quote from randkpopstan

With newjeans they at least waited for the debut, and then unloaded all their payola magic with spotify playlisting and making them sign deals with big fashion brands weeks after debut

hoes mad

- great music

- charisma

- industry experience

- money

You need all 4 of these to be a dominator in the music industry. You can start off not having one or two traits but to stay at the top you need all four, no exceptions

Quote from randkpopstan

yes but even in the big 3 era either because of incompetence or respect they wouldn't do things like these, like what's next after this? there needs to be a limit

there is no right or wrong and there is no limit

it's more fun that way

at least it's more entertaining to watch

if Big 3 don't get there shit together then they will fail at their job

Quote from randkpopstan

2017, I'm in my contract renewal era so please share with us the new here to understand your point and tell us the instances where the big 3 did things as bad as hybe is doing.

The big 3 where greedy but incompetent and that's the reason they couldn't dominate the industry like hybe, which is super greedy but competent, is doing. With newjeans they at least waited for the debut, and then unloaded all their payola magic with spotify playlisting and making them sign deals with big fashion brands weeks after debut but this is beyond words, this level of greedy is insane, they are not even pretending anymore allowing their groups to have some privileges but working their way to the top step by step, they can't even wait and go nuts given undebuted idols things they have not earned or deserve by achieving something, just like Dreamer95 said last year about hybe paying the way of their idols into the kohaku uta gassen, they will suck dry the kpop industry until there is nothing left but themselves, we somehow need to save kpop from their hands guys.

And yes I know what the term payola originally means but since people started using as a umbrella term to describe when a company is using money to give advantage to their artists lets use it that way here.

in the end hopefully it will reflect badly on them

i mean people love talking about how bts came from nothing. if everyones favorite groups start getting privileges like this i think people will start rooting for underdogs

the big problem with non big four groups getting popular right now is that they have way less opportunities to do american stuff, which is like the only thing people in kpop seem to care about right now.

Damn Paris Week Show it's really not a random nugu show.

As a talented and good looking Trainee I would have give everything to join HYBE.

Seeing how everyone (except Fromis9) being treated is not even slighty comparable to any Kpop Company.

So you were there in 2019 at least. I'm not talking sneaking idols into fashion weeks, I'm talking drugs girls abuse money stealing mental and physical artist health, as well as other financial frauds that I won't mention because I don't understand the end of it lol. Doesn't ring a bell?

Also please don't renew

I mean people are already calling them flops before debut so Hybe are just trying to do something to improve their recognition? trying to promote your idols is so wrong now?

At least they didn't send them to open BTS's concert or paying youtube ads for their pre-debut videos lol

I promise you all of this won't matter if they have bad music eventually, we have recent example already so don't be jealous

We know the "invitation" is the power of connections, but It's funny to see Big3 groups fans complaining about such endorsements.

Recently we just had BabyMonster advertising Pepsi after Batter Up and SITM releases, NMIXX 7 months after O.O announced as a luxuary brand (Loewe) global ambassadors, aespa announced as brand ambassadors for Giventhy 2 months after Black Mamba and ANY of the mentioned songs were actual hits to justify gaining such deals so early in their careers, but somehow HYBE is the only problem.

kpoppies hate change, man. The game has changed and the field has widened and if you’re not innovating, you’re in a bad place truly

People here fight like we have 2017-level players and resources. That’s nearly a decade ago

im only listening to people who can sing idc about the rest. out of all the groups in hybe i am only listening to seventeen.

Is that JYP? WTF is this, creepy stuff

At the end of the day, it is smart business. Businesses compete. Connections are used. Business deals are made to benefit parties. Bottomline is to maintain their place in the business world.

Comparing getting a cf to going to PFW is so beyond brainwashed

Bang piggy open your head, mix a lil of that coca cola with your brain juices and drink it up

And they will keep doing it until they reach a wall that will make them collide face up

yeah exactly as well as getting individual fashion brand deals isn't comparable with a group one although I called it out too when it happened but at least makes more sense especially that early on.

so threatened by a group yet to even debut

We must blame Army for this somehow.

I only trust the real engagements. People say YouTube is so yesterday. Yes but YouTube shows real engagements and ads.

Big 3 Stans being pissed because HYBE is doing a better job is hilarious to me.
