They all signed on to F(x), SNSD, TVXQ and SuperJunior being their future but there was this weird switch.
It was even before the management change, so i cant even blame that. It feels like their goal as a company, their goal in music was different suddenly and i feel bad for the idols who watched these other groups be trained, managed and marketed so well day in and day out only for their own reality to be so different.
Suddenly it wasnt about the group making music and having fun being performers… they were suddenly politicians and selling Korea. Its suddenly so different and frankly worse
Seeing everything with Joy just makes so much sense. She must have loved her time in SM at one point, had so many dreams and then they just kept dwindling what they fed her and her group until it was clear that they were gearing up to just turn them into a portrait on the wall. Another group on indefinite hiatus to help boost the resume of “long lasting idol careers” yeah f*cking right. Good luck to every group member who isnt another Taeyeon, Irene or Karina because SM is just milking your talents to boost their future careers.
And word to the wise, if you are as beautiful as Irene, you better smile and act like a “lady” or theyll cut you off just the same
