Why is SM not included on Time's 100 Influential Companies?

I know the reason but I'm not going to tell you

Are we seriously gonna answer this for you? Even my 12 year old cousin who's a kpop fan would know

They commit tax fraud, who would want them on their list of the most influential companies?

I think I know why

flops

Make your own Time magazine OP. You can put LSM face on the front cover. He will love you for that

Maybe because hybe has the biggest kpop group ever so far?

AKP needs more LSM stans!!!

is sm actually influential in 2022 tho? influential insinuates that people copy you, that you are the trendsetter, that you are actively changing an industry. sm hasn't done that since the early 2000s. no other company is trying to do the nct concept, or the AI shit like aespa. you could use the word innovative instead of influential.

Quote from tetetete

You just need to listen to nmixx or purple kiss recent song to see the SM/aespa influence lol the fact mbc will debut a girlgroup from survival show adding virtual members and there's companies releasing news about debuting AIs as idols..

Omega x debuted recently and they made themselves known as "Avengers of kpop", making a group from members of other bgs, exactly like superm concept

Companies also using the nct system concept in some kind of way, making groups for each region and such

So many solos debuting using Taemin style, MAMA the idol using next level as the song to showcase their gg, even how individual jewel cases became the new trend for many companies, I only knew exo and nct used it before

And there are plenty more examples that aren't as in-your-face and could generate debate, but it's kinda obvious why the company with some of the best charting and selling acts in kpop will be copied/followed by others. This year and the past SM was the company with the most acts charting in korea and you wonder why wouldn't other be influenced by them? lol

Maybe if they actually cared about EXO
