If the Big 3 were the companies; Apple, Microsoft & Google - who would be which?

Interesting

SM - Microsoft works for me. I guess.

JYP is definitely not Google. Google is at the top of the MFing game. JYP is not.

Apple - Apple's brand power is in league of its own but most of their products aren't as exciting. YG fits this description

Quote from SandyBee3

YG= Apple... everyone complains about them releasing the same sh*t, yet still eat it up every time

SM = Microsoft... they are are everywhere

JYP = Google ... so many times people thought they will go bankrupt just to hit back harder lol

Google never was on brink of bankruptcy

Apple feels spot on with YG. HYBEsha is more like G00gle or Alphabet, Inc.

YG - Apple - Everyone wants an iPhone or anything Apple related. Kpop companies these days have been modeling their girl groups after BLACKPINK

SM - Microsoft

JYP - Google

I mostly agree with your answer, but I feel like Google would be HYBE. They are everywhere, everyone has heard of them and they own big things (Google-youtube HYBE-Ithaca Holdings).

YG is definitely apple thanks to blackpink they are seen as trendy and cool and some companies even have blackpink as an inspiration .

apple is sm

google yg

and microsoft is jyp

I agree with this

YG - Apple, everyone wants an iphone, and now all brands want blackpink
SM - Microsoft

JYP - Google, keeps coming out with new products but gets rid of some of the good ones

google yg

and microsoft is jyp

I second this

Quote from zuzuhhaa

im saying it cuz apple steals ideas and makes them better

apple are innovators though it fits more YG imo

edit: the reason I'm saying YG is because in the past the came up with good ideas that everyone adopted today. For example, Big bang were the first ones to come up with lighsticks back then groups used balloons and now everyone uses lightsticks. The term mini album was brought by Big bang in 2007 before that it was all LP's Big bang (always) EP was the first release in korea to be promoted as a mini album.

Not to mention that Yg in the past set new music trends in Korea with big bang and now they are characterized for having aesthetic mv's and are fashion oriented and blackpink basically symbolizes that and apple is all about appealing to the visuals.

Google - sm: universal, wide reach, well known

Apple - yg: trendy, exclusive, cultivated expensive image

Microsoft - jyp: user friendly, familiar, not intimidating

Apple - SM. Currently trying to think of new trends/ideas for the future

Google - YG. Everyone knows of them and has 2 labels to work out of: YG and Black label which is similar to Google and YouTube

JYPE - Microsoft. Always a classic, brings out comfort and familiarity
