HYBE judges SM Ent. idol's donation in their reports

 

HYBE's report included a detailed commentary on the member of group ㅇㅇㅇ, ㅇㅇ. According to the report, "(SM Ent.) seems to have recently adjusted their monitoring system, either by adding new resources or changing their feedback process. SM Ent, who is usually known for their 'IDGAF' approach, seems to have realized that they can't continue to be like that. Recently, ㅇㅇ have been receiving negative responses, but then ㅇㅇ anonymously donated 10 M KRW to an animal welfare group."

The report commented on the donation, "Choosing an animal welfare organization, that's (very obvious that they're aiming) for reactions on Twitter. Sending exactly 10 M KRW also seems deliberate, as donations over that amount require verification, so they can't completely go anonymous. It seems like SM Ent.'s taking a different route and overreacting as they've become an issue on Twitter. This could be a signal that there's a shift in their usual strategy."

Not only that, regarding another member ㅇㅇㅇ's recent appearance on a variety show, the report noted, "The way ㅇㅇㅇ buys a watermelon and makes a fruit punch at home comes across as excessively scripted. The way a staff suddenly brings up ㅇㅇ's animal charity donation in the middle of getting their makeup done is also a very outdated approach." Another member, ㅇㅇ, was also mentioned in the report, "She seemed distracted and glued to the phone, leading to rumors that she was texting her boyfriend during filming."

Looks like they're up to some tricks

-With the company acting like this, how can we even see the idols as cute no matter what they do? These stupid bastards make the idols unbearable to look at.

-The Kpop industry is becoming exhausting now that these companies acting out their own inferiority complexes and insecurities.

CBX's side: 'SM Ent. is distorting the point of the matter ... Disclose the basis of tampering'

https://m.entertain.naver.com/now/article/410/0001004312

 INB100, the agency of EXO-CBX, denies SM Ent.'s statement.

Below is the full statement.

Chairman Cha Ga-won and Representative Shin Dong Hyun express deep regret towards SM Ent, once again claiming it's tampering. They urge SM Ent. to publicly disclose their standards for tampering.

Furthermore, we will strongly respond to SM Ent.'s claims of tampering by seeking all civil and criminal liabilities for defamation and spreading false information.

We find it absurd and even petty that a big entertainment company like SM Ent. forgets its responsibility and misses the point by nitpicking and making baseless claims.

We argue that SM Ent's attempt to frame CBX, former artists under their label, for tampering with other artists' activities is unwarranted and lacks credibility.

CBX has decided to give up the exclusive down payment and continue EXO activities under SM Ent.

However, only individual activities will be carried out separately by the company, and a separate company will be established to distribute albums and music, which requires a distributor. SM Ent. initially demanded 10% of sales from CBX, but they proposed to use Kakao for distribution at a 5.5f% fee. In other words, SM Ent. proposed everything and now is backing out of the deal. 

Once again, through this press conference, we demand clarification from SM Ent.

SM Ent, please clearly define your criteria and basis for "tampering." Is it considered tampering when artists seek advice and counseling from acquaintances, seniors, or colleagues? 

Baekhyun was seeking advice while setting up his personal company. Considering that he's setting up a one-person company, what SM Ent. says about tampering doesn't make more sense.

Initially, Baekhyun, who started a one-person company, attempted to manage both his artist activities and his business, but he realized the impracticality and entrusted the management to professionals while pursuing his dream as an artist and producer.

As a major entertainment company, SM Ent. should stop trying to divert attention from the point of the whole issue by making irrelevant arguments and driving the public's opinion.

Forcing artists to obligate without being able to keep their promises themselves is a behavior that clearly shows that they're a major entertainment company who only sees their artists as a money-making tool. 

In today's statement, SM Ent.stated, "We do not have the authority to determine Kakao's commission." However, during negotiations, CEO Lee Sungsoo, who was the negotiator, boasted to Chairman Cha Ga-won, "You have to pay 17% in other places anyway. So, if we give 5.5%, there's no difference." This shows that CEO Lee Sungsoo and SM Ent. are deceiving their artists because they clearly do not have the ability to do so. 

Finally, SM Ent. should not distort the point of the whole matter and publicly disclose the basic right of artists, which is the settlement basis data.

Before claiming tampering, SM Ent. should first reflect on whether they have concluded the contract, executed the cost, and disclosed the settlement within the framework of the standard contract. 

If SM continues to not provide the settlement basis data, we will file for an injunction with the court.

Meanwhile, INB100 will do its best to protect the rights of artists.

Summary:

Too long

theqoo

-Exactly. Let's just meet in court. 

--Resolve it according to the law.

-Stop this.

-Why is this statement so badly written?? Just settle it in court.

-The way they write statements is really similar to HYBE.

-Enough...

-Just go to court... Go and pay the penalty and finish it. Why appeal to public opinion so much? If it's really a breach of contract, file a lawsuit and let the court decide.

-Resolve it in court.

-Did they write this statement without consulting a lawyer?

-By the way, the quality of their statement is so different from SM Ent. That company had a lawyer to write their statements, while this company... Who wrote this?? It doesn't seem like the words a lawyer would use.

-Today's press conference was tampering itself...

-Go to court.

-The quality of their statement, though...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Go argue in court. Stop appealing to public opinion now~~~~~~

SM Ent cancels their Halloween event

 This is SM Entertainment.

We would like to announce that the live broadcast of SMTOWN WONDERLAND 2022 Red Carpet, which was scheduled to be broadcasted live for free through the global platform Beyond LIVE for ACE members of KWANGYA CLUB for about an hour from 6:15PM today, has been canceled. 

As the SMTOWN WONDERLAND 2022 event itself has been canceled, there will be no live broadcast of the red carpet. We kindly ask for your understanding.

Thank you

theqoo

-That's right. This is the best choice for nowㅠㅠ

-They did the right thing by canceling this event

-That announcement was posted at 4 in the morning...

-I think every Halloween-related event in the industry would be canceled at this point. That accident was really big.

-I saw them posting this at dawn today. They must've concerned about it a lot. I think they made the right choice. 

-I think there will be no Halloween-related events from now on...

-I knew they would cancel it...

-This is better than getting hate for continuing to hold this event...ㅜㅜ

-I just hope they wouldn't hold this event again in the future...

-They must have prepared a lot of things for this event, though. The staff are surely working hard, even at dawn.

-There's nothing we can do about it...ㅜㅜ
