How long until NCT sues SM? (1 Viewer)

It'll depend. Giving Wayv an independent label was a good move but there's stuff still holding them back. It seems the V label gives them some freedoms like with filming mvs themselves and stuff like that so will help with any artistic differences so most likely it definitely will come down to money.

For a Chinese member of NCT to get the same promotion and freedom as Lay there would need to be an exodus of nct china members lol. Honestly, if Luhan and Kris hadn't left Lay would have gotten dust. He wasn't the most popular Chinese member and even the two most popular weren't getting the promotions they wanted. After Tao left SM had to find a way to keep Lay or show they treated him right. So Lay got a lot more freedom and promotion as a soloist earlier than he would have if the others had stayed. There was people calling for exo's disbandment at those times and the last chinese member leaving would have made the situation even worse.

i feel like there are a lot more factors at play rn. i totally agree that lay is making bank bc the other 3 left, but not just bc they left, but bc exo-m became dead at that point. there was no reason to continue splitting exo. and on top of that thaad made it impossible to promote korean groups in china. so they weren't promoting in china anymore. they were still making chinese music but only for their already established fanbase there. it's different when you think about wayv who are primarily a chinese group. they would promote in korea with nct but they're going to be mainly in china. so it's not like they won't reap the benefits while staying in sm. i don't see why they'd leave. i'd even argue that thaad would have given lay the freedom as a soloist anyway, even if a more popular chinese member had stayed.

She hasn't released anything, but similar to Blackpink, once she does release something (though it may not be for a while), it will be very highly anticipated. Now, the PSY thing definitely wasn't her fault though. In a scenario in which the company you go to is stable, gaining sympathy from fans can be a major game-changer.

i think the Hyuna hype is way way over stated, when was her last hit?
Its not like she is IU or even Summi with a raft of digital hits. She sure as heck is not bp who could fart and have it be a monster.

maybe babe was kinda successful but her last hit was Red(which i have never even heard once on any show that i can remember unlike lip) or Ice cream 5 to 7 years ago.

mostl;y she has songs she did with psy and bubble pop a decade ago.

Maybe this will save her career, but i think Cube had little to loose she was going nowhere fast for them.

I'll give it a good two, three years. Once WayV, especially Lucas, realizes how much money they can make in ChinA and how being in SM is a disadvantage I feel like they'd use them

I'm not very familiar with how companys treat their members, but can you explain me why (or on which levels) is it an disadvantage being in SM? 🤔
