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.

  • I just saw this notice to!, I never get the high prices. Yes do what you are worth, but a lot of people are working two sometimes three jobs, spending something that is so high in price is really hard for us.


    I hope changes will be seen with some of the merchandise to!, this is a great step!

  • People don't separate out the blame :pepe-shrug:

    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.

    You missed the point...


    Seventeen were earning tens of millions so Pledis could have made moves to prevent the takeover but they didn't.


    This has nothing to do with the eventual takeover by HYBE because it could have been any company
