The industry is trying to take down IU. Why?

Quote from itiswhatitisss

O God WhyKnock, we summon thee

I predict that KPOP companies didn't want IU to become a KPOP star after 10 years and continue her reign over Korea, so they decided to conspire against her.

originally, Loen , and Melon, were owned by SK telecom.

However it was sold off because of some government rule, and now SK has established FLO.

Since IU is a singer in a rival company it is only natural for FLO to check her.

The queen is alone against all and she is still standing.

We need a YKnock essay to explain it.

It's clear K-pop finally decided to make a move against the Senior Singer.

"Senior Singer"

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

You see senior singer was bringing down kpop so this was a combined effort by all of SK to SAVE kpop.

I could actually buy that. Sometimes, the old guard prevents the evolution of the music business.

A LOT of people were glad when the Beatles broke up, and a LOT of people were glad when Dr Dre left Death Row and Pac died.

A LOT of careers would not have continued had those things never happened....

when will the boyz

Yes, although every day it gets more precarious. Which might be why she bought the 11m palace so she could retire in there

"Senior Singer"

Blame it to MAMA who gave her Lifetime Achievement Award when she was 21 , making her a Senior Singer.

It's up to their subscribers to buy their Music, you have a more defined subscriber for smaller companies like FLO, Soribada, MNet, Bugs etc.

If FLO was really trying to rig it, then their own Artists would be dominating their charts which they aren't.
