Okay, now wipe the foam off your mouth and try to articulate your argument without childishly lashing out at me with personal attacks against my intelligence.
There is a reason HYBE gave the woman an ENTIRE COMPANY to get her to stay, so let's not talk about obtuse behavior, hmm?
And it's not like we're comparing apples to oranges here. SM IS ALSO A MAJOR ENTERTAINMENT LABEL WITH WAY MORE HISTORY AND RESPECT IN THE INDUSTRY THAN HYBE.
She would literally still have incredible resources, so your argument would only make sense if I were hypothesizing her ability to debut a top girl group from a nugu label.
SM didn't market her like HYBE. She was majorly unknown to most kpop fans unlike now. F(x) and Shinee's visual identity laid with SM until HYBE publicised that she was behind the groups' creative aspect. And yes, I will call you obtuse if you still deliberately deny this fact.

Why are you acting obtuse again? She got famous from the initial HYBE mediaplay after being poached from SM. Her debut group released a music video on a channel with 70M+ subscribers. She found the members for NewJeans through HYBE auditions and other HYBE sublabels. HYBE gave her a bigger platform than what SM could've. Imagining it would've been easy for her to get to this level if she stayed at SM is foolish.

I do agree that the akgae issue is just a scapegoat. Regardless of the akgae issue, all the members of Blackpink have been equally popular since their debut. However, we need to acknowledge that the genre of the solo songs is still the major reason for the equitable support. The solo music they make perfectly suits the kpop demographic's taste.

These are the most tame hate comments I've seen on the internet in a while. This is not supposed to make you hysterical.

Let them have their safe place. Most of the international K-pop online spaces are anti-NewJeans.

He was doing the bare minimum. What is there to award?
In fact, I don't believe any man should be given such an honour unless being a women rights activist is their primary occupation.

I am tired of seeing his face all over my Twitter and Reddit feeds. I logged onto Allkpop, and now I see his face here as well.

They will survive unless HYBE wins the lawsuit.

AKP has always been that way. I didn't know what melon, flo, bugs or a pak meant when I joined this platform (2020). Learnt it the hard way!

Hon, this is a fact! You can read the articles. Like I said: Do some research!
If IU isn't that big in the west, how did she sold-out her concert faster than anyone? It was a 100% sold-out rate, btw! People literally sent letters to EDAM to change the venues and do a concert in a big stadium in the US, because too many people were in line! Also, IU is THE ONLY Kpop Idol who was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival for her movie, so she's not just a simple Idol. That's why she's bigger than any other Kpop group or soloist!
Now, please sit down, and shut up!Not even IU herself or anyone at her label would believe she is bigger than BTS in the west. For every random fact you put here to prove your point that IU is more popular, I can pull up like 100s of facts for BTS (to give an example - BB charts, Spotify and Apple charts, Album and concert ticket sales, no. of nominations and wins on western music awards). So you are the one who needs to sit and calm tf down with your passive aggressiveness.

Not in Korea.
But sure, outside Korea.
In Korea,
IU ft Suga -Eight, dominated the charts.
Whereas Suga ft IU, meh.
And I bet, V ft. Park Hyoshin will not do as well as LWA.
But outside Korea, sure BTS members have more catchet.
And MAMA is purely export oriented award.
The point is that Mnet caters more towards the international audience than solely Korea.
Display MoreHoney, if people only watched IU's MV because of V who didn't have a single line in the song, did those people also stream her song? 🤣
IU has more views on her MV's where no other popular singer was featured, just sayin'. LWA is not even a collab. He was just an actor! That wasn't a cameo, btw. Stop using words you don't even understand!😂
For fun, here are som stats for you. One of the few Kpop artist who never used any YT ads!
Streams aren't the only metric to be nominated for Best Music Video. Sure the song did well, but you need to think harder as to why this is her first and only best MV nomination on MAMA.
