The reason why SM artists that have been established ended up on releasing less frequently compared to before, is due to the fact that the more established an artist is from that company the less profitable they become. This is the reason why you see the new groups/artists releasing multiple comebacks at the start of their career and once established you'd be lucky to even get a comeback per year. SM milks the money's worth out of their groups and once they are deemed less profitable, their attention shifts towards new groups and the cycle continues. I have read that this is because at the early periods of their artist's careers, they get marginally less share from what they earn and gradually this increases as time goes by. Another thing I've read is the threshold in which the artists have to cover due to them being trainees resulting in an accumulation of costs spent on each individual from a young age. SM milks the artists early to try and get all their money that they paid to instructors/trainers/writers/producers etc (as at the end of the day it's a business) and once the costs have been covered it's just a bonus for SM in whatever artists put out. Another thing to consider is the fact that gradually as artists progress on their career, there lies the scenario of these said individuals that want to do something else other than doing group-related activities. This massively affects the performance of the overall group as schedule clashes. Naturally this wouldn't be the case for newbie groups as they're very much in the "I would do anything to be popular/make some money (from a musical perspective)" mind frame and once established, they can then compromise with SM as to what they want in future whether be solo activities or pursue in another field such as acting/radio hosting etc.

HOW THE f*** DID YOU ALL NOT LET SOMI QUALIFY! XENOPHOBES 2k19 EDITION

Nooo I meant why are they not announced yet! :lol:

Where is Aesthetica...

I'm currently getting 99 construction and hopefully I will be 94 by the end of today. I'm currently trying to train up a tank ranger but mainly because I like PKing. But in terms of having someone to play with me, I mean in terms of perhaps doing god wars dungeon and killing boss'es for loots etc! Anyways anyone who still play, add me! My name is Guaranteed.

Awww what a shame, I wish I knew anyone now that played it so I'm not so lonely in it :(

Does anyone still play this or have they stopped? :unsure:

Where is my entry

Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance isn’t on this?! :o

We are going K-Pop but VERY Eurovision this month!

:'( I sincerely hope you're wrong and Replay gets at least Top 10 in the final!

That video doesn't even do her or the song's justice as in another fan recording she slayed the vocals, so I'm rather confused :wacko: p-XOiK2FdYI

Nah they’ll do a KARA and SNSD, say they won’t disband but nothing will come from it and eventually disappear.

YASSSSSSSS YAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

A balance of both. For example I do believe the Born This Way Gaga should not return as it would definitely damage her image once again, but a Gaga during the Paparazzi -> Bad Romance -> Telephone era is more than welcome!

AND THAT PERSON WAS ME (last month)

Mine is coming soon!

How accurate are these votes when it comes to the final result of the show?
