What the current payment scandal crystallized for me. (1 Viewer)

SNSD's parents not SM pulled the trigger on Jessica.

If just those boys folks asking a few questions can cause all this commotion and get such a prompt response fro the agency.

The parents are on the hook for killing the best GG ever because it was never anywhere close to what it was.

Wait do what now?

Why would the parents of the members vote to kick Jessica out?

There were reports that it was the parents of some of the girls that were not happy with the deal Jessica was getting.
That they not the girls or SM were pushing her out.
Folks thought it unreasonable that the parents were that in control of the careers of such successful artists.
Now is clear that this is the standard.
All those reports of kids buying stuff for the parent is just the folks spending the kids money to make their own life better.(ok that may be a touch extra cynical :) )

Some of the parents thought it unfair that Jessica would do both things and "use " the SNSD name to promote her brand.
And Some want a cut from her business to make it up above the cut she gave SM..

I believe it was the parents, especially if the parents had control of most of the girls money, so it would make sense that they thought it was unfair that Jessica was also doing her brand while in SNSD.
I personally think that Jessica's business and her being in SNSD are two separate things though, so I don't understand why it's wrong for Jessica to have a brand separate from her group.
To me, this is very selfish from the parents.
