Donald trump accidentally becoming a peace maker lol

It's a bit column a, a bit of column b and bit of column c.
Labels will give set songs to trainees to perform. It's been a standard practice since gen 1. Sometimes that involves songs that might inappropriate content for the idol (eg obvious references to sex and having a 11 yo sing and dance to it) but that's part of their training. We've seen survival shows with kids being criticised about their looks or weight so clearly labels have lots of power.
However Idols also do have some control for their perfs at least on other labels. They can choose what to perform including adding changes or making a remix. That can be from adding their own singing flair, adding dance or censoring like they do with swears. Sometimes for an evaluation you can do something different, as a trainee Yuri famously did dinosaur impressions a couple times for her weekly performance evaluations lol.
Or to avoid any and all issues that just don't use songs that feature controversial things. Pure and simple. Put them on a ban list that way there's zero chance anything happens.

SNSD is the blueprint for hundreds of groups including BP as the original project was supposed to be YGSNSD but that fell through as trainees left or didn't advance the line up
Hundreds of idols have said SNSD is their fave or role model. Trainees are trained to match SNSD standard including ITNW being a common trainee song to practice.
They at the forefront hallyu across the world and put kpop on the map in a time when YouTube was still relatively in its early stages. If SNSD debuted in a time with social media they would've blown up when bigger.
They are multimedia stars, from day 1 they were getting multiple TV shows, guest appearances, high ratings, solo events like talk or radio shows. They were advertising monsters endorsing everything from typical fashion and beauty to electronics and homeware. They made a chicken franchise which seemed silly for gg to doing at the time and made become a multi million franchise
They were the face of Korea. Pop culture icons, tourism attraction, sent to inter national concerts as Korean reps, every CB they made national news.
In recent years ITNW is a defacto 2nd national anthem.
BP might have more success overall but SNSD is by far much more influential. Their impact evolved and shaped kpop industry and to and even Korea to an extent. Without SNSD inflence a lot of groups wouldn't have existed since and today and kpop itself would be different.

Oh lmao I saw kpop fans were getting in a tizzy on TikTok and now I find out there’s fuck ton of questionable data ready to be released.
it’s mutually assured destruction now, no one can come for anyone’s faves because they all will have their secrets revealed lol (unless there’s there dark shit in there like murder or pedo or something, anyone involved in that can get fucked for real).

It's because I retired on this forum

Korea and bullying female celebs to suicide. Name a more iconic duo.
They pushed Sulli to suicide, they did it with Hara, they tried it with Tiffany, they did it with Saeron. There's also stuff like molka and mass sexism which gets a pass (burning sun associates only getting a couple years tops). There's something really fucked up with Korean society to hate women that much.

SNSD never released any new music and only got back together for the occasional reunion paycheck.
Bruh. They had a full album.

Not revolutionised since it's been done before (I think shinwa did it) and it's not a common thing across the industry (yet) but SNSD certainly showed it can be possible and idols leaving doesn't need to mean the end of the group.
I think the key aspect is that SM still sees them as a legitimate group because we all know SM doesn't have a great track record with older groups or idols who leave, that includes SNSD themselves as when SM deliberately sabotaged their 10th anniversary. Look at SNSD standing in SM and it's noticeablely different compared to other older acts; SNSD were allowed to perform as a full group with plenty of songs at SM town during Forever 1 era and currently are promoted as a full group with their own merch and new song whereas other groups have multiple members missing from promo/merch like Shinee, Exo, Suju or are completely absent like Fx. Half the group aren't in SM so there's no reason why SM would promote the non SM members as what happened during the Oh GG days yet here we are.
I wouldn't be surprised if SNSD status becomes a common sight across the industry with idols in different labels but still performing as part their group under their original label.

AKP started out asa general translation site but quickly became a hate site against SNSD and Big Bang, regularly picking articles and making editorials to generate clicks because they were the biggest names to leech off.
The worst they did was get ahold of Ailee nude pics (I think one of her ex was either on akp staff or he leaked them to AKP) and they posted them for no fucking reason. I don’t remember any other news source even covering the story. There was a LOT of backlash against AKP form knetz and multiple kpop fan sites trying to ban them as a source.

You know what? I agree. The only contention for me is NJ
I don't know anything about current gen so I don't know if NJ as impactful as the others but seeing how popular and successful they are (their popularity reminds of SNSD tier) then probably deserve at least a strong mention but remains too be seen what impact they leave on the industry. Otherwise she's not a idol group but Boa? She was the biggest selling Kpop artist for a time and carried SM for a while - all while being a teen.

I don't see how it's a power play when 2 idols from 2 different groups say they had issues with SM weeks ago which weren't resolved hence them not attending. Taeyeon mentioning lack of prep is so on trend for SM for years as seen with QC issues on her merch, small concert venues resulting in fans demanding more dates and zero promo for her latest album.
17 years later SM still can't do basic things like spell "Girls' Generation" correctly on official SM 30th merch
With the way SM handles things these shills might want to be careful their jobs aren't axed some day.

Your premise is immediately invalid as BP were soundly beaten by Twice in almost every criteria for for close to half their career until they finally blew up.
SNSD vs 2G is a bigger domination. From 09 onward SNSD were at the top or around the top every criteria from music like digital, physical and touring to cfs, TV ratings, hallyu. This was an era were the gg scene was highly competitive as multiple ggs could get number 1 or have popularity with fans and public yet through it all SNSD became THE defacto face of Kpop because of their dominance. Others 2G ggs might have matched or beaten them in 1 area but absolutely nobody could ever come close to them in everything else esp over such a long time (that and all their peers disbanded long before them).

Gasp SM remembers fx existed lol.
