East vs west..lee soo man vs bang pd

Bang PD aka HYBE is a global conglomerate now, so...

Edit...

Of course, it's because of BTS primarily, but there's so much more we don't know.

funny if HYBE buys SM then liquidate them right after

I don't think bang pd ever subscribed to LSM vision for China. He basically said do you and imma do me.

And by doing his own thing and focusing on markets he thought were more beneficial he found success..i.e Japan/west.

Imagine the meltdowns from fans once they find out what liquidate means

Not when you can get canceled easily in China. Too risky

I agree Bang PD never focused on the Chinese market and I think it was a clever move.

LSM is too old and outdated. I don't think CCP will let any kind of oversea media freely
influence thiers citizens especially when political tensions between China and others country getting more heat right now.

LSM past success in China market so he prefer it

Bang PD past success in Western market so he prefer it

They want to keep the market

Many Korean entertainment companies including both SM and Bighit had Chinese money invested in them.

"Recent years saw many Chinese companies moving deeper into the K-pop world, with the likes of Alibaba investing significantly in Korean entertainment behemoth SM Entertainment in 2016 and Chinese venture capital firms investing in BTS’ label BigHit Entertainment."

LSM also said that SuperM would “introduce a new universe where East meets West.”

Think homie just says shit sometimes.
