HYBE backs down...claims "pricing error" for Seventeen deluxe album
-
This is bullshit. They're selling a tshirt for $89, so that's their 'normal' price range.
Good job carats for making this viral!
-
it's good and bad in same time
first it clearly says Deluxe version and has two CD's so it should be premium cost especially if it has more pocas inside
but overall damn it if regular album is 15 bucks then Deluxe should be just 25-30 bucks, nothing more
than that and here it's 60 bucks, I would understand the price if vinyl was inside

still better than the $150 they were originally charging.

It's great how HYBE get blamed for Pledis' greed, Pledis PR is working overtime to try to convince their fans that they don't want to rip them off when we all know they completely did it intentionally to scam the dedicated fans that empty their pockets.
of course, because HYBE would never do such a thing as scamming the dedicated fans

Well....... isn't that Big Hit? :P

People don't separate out the blame
Except someone did when they blamed HYBE instead of Pledis that manage Seventeen and set the prices for anything the group sells...
The thing is, people can't grasp the simple thing that HYBE Labels doesn't manage groups,, they manage subsidiaries and it's up to those companies to manage themselves. HYBE are more than happy with their subsidiaries over pricing items but like every Parent company, they don't micro-manage those companies.
But we are talking about Pledis here...
Rather than trying to block a takeover when they had arguably the 2nd biggest earning BG at the time, their Shareholders wanted the money.

And you’ve said nothing I disagree with. However what I said before still stands. Not because I agree with it, but because that’s what happens in the majority of kpop stan world because it easier and often times “funner” to make generalizations the norm.
Carats have always wanted to burn Pledis to the ground and I have no problem handing you the gas can.

Sure, Hybe only manage the subsidiaries. Including changing Pledis CEO to ex-bighit. And kicking Pledis VP to Hybe Japan. Hence there’s nolonger any OG Pledis management in Pledis itself. Sure, they definitely don’t have aby involvement such as the change of Caratbong color or Seventeen content opening

You think HYBE purchased Pledis out of charity? They only got them as an investment, and you get a return on your investment when the prices go up. And the biggest pressure to increase prices comes from HYBE, as the biggest shareholder.

So yeah, it’s always been Hybe’s involvement that lead to massive capitalism
