Once you say hip swaying is weird, you're no longer my child.

It says that, for SM's 2nd quater, it's SJ and f(x), and for the 3rd, it'll be Boa's 10th anniversary album and SNSD's Japan activities. Seems to be coming from an analyst though.
According to the 2010 1st Quarter report for SM out today, the company revenue for the quarter recorded an all time high of 22.7 billion won, with a record 10.4 billion won in operating profits, a huge increase of 471% from same period last year.
SM said "The main reason for this revenue and profit increase is due to explosive popularity of SNSD's 2nd album Oh! and increased overseas royalties resulting from energetic Asia activities by SM artists."
At the time of Gee's release SME stock price was about 1500 won, now it is about 7900 won so in terms of business achievement SM is doing awfully great, and SNSD's significant contribution to this is collectively acknowledged by the industry and shareholders(They made lots of money and some talk about sending gifts to the girls^^).
It's relevant to be aware of SM's business since it affects the activity plans of SM artists. Now that SM is doing so well people might think SM artists can get some rest now but in fact it works in the opposite direction. Public company like SME has huge pressure to continue to show growth so the company must find ways to maintain this huge profit. Rather than huge increases it's better to have stable growth and a balanced portfolio, which SME doesn't currently have.
Thus in conclusion this translates to continuation of overworked schedules for current SM artists. It's why SM is preparing for SNSD Japan and Asia promotion, and Korean comeback will occur as soon as possible (later this year or early next year at the latest). Almost all SM artists have comebacks this year the more successful they are the more stable SME becomes and a better situation for the artists. Let's support all our SM artists I'm loving the new Suju and f(x) songs by the way~
Huwhaaaaaa?! Seriously Mama?! LOL don't mamas and their daughters always disagree though?! You can't throw me out over one disagreement!
LOL WAIT. They're already predicting that BoA's comeback to make that big of an impact? As much as I have faith in her, even I'm still thinking of the worst. But hey, I guess that's why SME/SM still calls her the Queen B<3
And I thought that was obvious that the more SME does better, the more they're gonna [over]work their artists... It only makes sense. That's how most big business run... ESPECIALLY big private businesses.
I just really hope with all this success (though I know I have nothing to worry about) that I'll NEVER have to worry about SME selling themselves to a conglomerate like JYPE/DSPE/YGE. Most of my constant rants as of late is how those three sold themselves (but that's because a lot of the current Kpop news has to do with the conglomerates).
It's funny how that all explains why TRAX is coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. I just wish if SME really was trying to milk everyone as much as they could, they'd do a better job for TRAX -_- ughihatechuSME. I wonder if they're gonna up their promotions for Eff of Ex though... WAIT. Does that mean CSJH is finally coming back?!
And I guess my theory of DBSK running SME is no longer valid...................does this mean SME doesn't need DBSK anymore?
Why are they wearing clothes!!!!!!! THEY'RE AT THE BEACH!! They wear less clothing in Live perfs and concerts and even then they're trying to take them off.
I JUST WANT ONE BIKINI PIC! There is nothing wrong with bikini's! they're a normal clothing item for girls at the beach and if you're a dude then you wear DT's cause they're manly.
I can't wait to see the PB, just don't want it to be 350pages of clothes and art pics :|
LOL WHY do I still laugh at you begging for bikini pics? xD
I'll be fine seeing them in a
sando tank top and some
boxers short shorts.

Ag -.- Every time I see KARA now, I get more and more guilty...I remember that I strayed away from them when they were technically my first babies...
I blame this on SNSD >.> LOL even though the news of SNSD is what got me back into Kpop and how I found KARA...-O_sLaVe
