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.)

I heard about that! dude, the hardcore fans are terrifying, wtf. Those girls with the anti-Kame uchiwa are amateurs. o_O

Many thanks for the recs, will DL - that's more than I know. :D

Also, any reasons why you're asking these questions, specifically? XD

Don't forget they also ripped out Yamapi's hair and sold it on Ebay.

Have fun with them! ♥

They did what? Oh my lord. XD

Well okay, I'm not sure if they actually sold it on Ebay, but I did hear that they felt absolutely no remorse for it and were talking about selling it. But yeah, when Yamapi went to Korea, I think he was at the airport? And the fans were so crazy they tore out some of his hair and basically tried to assault/molest/etc. him.

I will admit that this is cool, but the one in London was better.

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!)

So basically all of Yamapi's famous friends had to change their numbers, huh. XD
