Did SM ever have an audit done & shit exposed?

not during my watch

No

What kind of audit you're referring to?

Pretty sure SM was audited before and tax evasion was revealed. Operation-wise, maybe not so much.

for tax evasion like 578654 times fvgbh

I lost count

on other bad practices, blocking artist probably the top of list

idk if they still got power to do all that

That's why I think SM is still the most powerful of them all. They've gotten away with so much. Not even the lawsuits affected them at all. Only Jessica made them lose a ton of money, could it be because her father is allegedly a lawyer?

of course, not just SM. Every entertainment companies get audited, but there nothing much worth up to the point get exposed except tax evasion

LSM even got accused told off by his nephew or new management for embezzling excess charging of production fees through his production company but no consequences penalties as far as I can remember(maybe there was n I forgot) except the money spigot stopped flowing after he sold his shares/stepped down.

I guess it's ok when you're the founder/ex-CEO/big kaduna of the whole company but not when you're the subsidiary CEO. The things that are normalized in some companies when it's owned/controlled by men(I an male), as opposed when you're only the lowly subsidiary's CEO, LOL.

Not to this level

Their system is unlike hybe

It was mostly financial shenanigans and crimes in SM's case but there was never something like this, where they got caught trashing other idols and organising witch hunts against them. No one taught hybe how to do that without actually getting caught I guess
