Display Moreew, i don’t care what his involvement in kpop is
(and international fans really play up his innovation lmao. implementation of the japanese training system after seeing the potential success of a similar industry following the recession in korea is.... not super innovative. like i don’t see why international fans don’t see it. we had a recession and we upped every aspect of entertainment exports as a result. including movies and tv, as well. if he didn’t do start using the japanese system, someone else soon would have, and that’s no joke after stj. he used an already made system, to achieve a goal that others were already working on, in a way that was already being thought of, to an audience that was already beginning to be formed before lsm even considered it.
he’s done less for kpop than international fans acknowledge, honestly. because they don’t know what it was like in korea or the surge in kmedia, or were brainwashed by media and company stans, etc.)
lsm is a criminal, a national traitor, and the girls only deserve to be around the best
I always see people saying this acting all high about how LSM just copy-pasted japanese training system when the reality is I'm yet to see a J-Pop group that had both the dance and the vocal training SM groups had since the 2000s, you can't just reduce it to a copypaste and act like SM groups became famous on Asia (Japan included) just because of... luck I guess since Japanese industry was the one that started it? Japanese and Korean systems of training are actually quite different and you can see it by how they perform and the music they go for, LSM could copy some elements from the japanese industry at the moment and all, but it's no doubt he made a twist and perfectioned it, also making the dance more sharp and with a musical style much more afroamerican influenced. In fact he also got inspiration from Motown discography, which kinda explains SM's obsession with R&B and soul.
