the kpop edition

1. So give me the lowdown on SM Entertainment as a corporation. How do they recruit/train/market/etc., especially in comparison to JE? Info on shady business practices and lawsuits and things of that sort also welcome. XD ...How does the Korean music industry and market compare to the Japanese in general, actually? There is no such thing as tldr in comments here.

2. Favorite Korean artists/songs/albums/music videos? I am woefully ignorant. Pop, not pop, what have you - hit me. (Assume I know basically no one except Park Ji-yoon, since that's... true. Oh, and BoA.)

Ahaha, that flash mob was a pretty great idea. XD Also the one in London was part of an ad campaign so I think they could arrange for a slicker production... *g*

The idea is cool, yeah. There are a bunch of different ones on Youtube, oddly enough mostly in the U.K.. XD

(Truly deep lyrics. They're right up there with American artists now!)
