honestly tho, don't you think exo would have sunk without a trace if they weren't under SM?

[(Anonymous)]

i stan them like burning but. yes. :/

[(Anonymous)]

probably, and i say this as a stan

[(Anonymous)]

'what if' situations like this are sf stupid to speculate about lol. there wouldn't even be an exo if it weren't for sm

[(Anonymous)]

alright. then let's say 70% of them would have sunk without a trace if they debuted under another company, together or not.

[(Anonymous)]

the possibilities are endless, so no, i would prefer not to speculate

[(Anonymous)]

mte this discussion is pointless.

[(Anonymous)]

why are you so pressed? your oppars aren't going anywhere because exo is an sm group. let other people speculate if they want to, even if it's not going to change anything (plus the answer is pretty obvious, exo would have flopped but not necessarily vanished).

[(Anonymous)]

u think they would be tgt if they weren't under sm

[(Anonymous)]

they would have to try a lot harder than now had they not been under sm tbh

[(Anonymous)]

i know what you're trying to say, but i think a smaller company would have tried to promote them more than sm does so possibly not?

[(Anonymous)]

da but lmao this sfm, sm is doing a gj with M (or M's popularity is taking them a long way) but did K get shuffled to the dungeons or smth

+1

[(Anonymous)]

i think if they actually debuted with 12 members in a small company, they'd have stabler fanbase in korea

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

wouldn't they have just been called a blatant sj wannabe

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

you've never heard of a-peace?

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

da but +1, esp with chinese members

[(Anonymous)]

ia at least smaller companies don't have (at least) 5 other groups to worry about

for some reason idt sm wants to let go of that sm entertainment brand so instead of making smaller subsidiary companies like cube does so they can manage groups better, they try to make the same marketing team handle all of their artists at once :|

[(Anonymous)]

lol anon your comment makes so much sense. sm needs to work on that part, or else we're going to have one comeback a year for all groups like we do for f(x), when back in 2009 the company could still manage 2 comebacks in one year for their active groups (and even 3 promo periods in 2010 for snsd)

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but even if they were better promoted, there's an overload of groups right now and they're all virtually the same. small companies tend not to do so well anyway, even if their groups were actually talented.

[(Anonymous)]

+1, lbr sm is a powerhouse with a rep so even if exo isn't being promoted, they still manage to stay relevant

[(Anonymous)]

they would have been easily ignored as a boring, untalented bunch with a couple of gimmicks (m/k and being a big group).

[(Anonymous)]

pledis is cooking up something like exo atm so lol we're going to find out soon, i think

[(Anonymous)]

fucking pledis why can't they focus on their 2 OTHER ROOKIES before debuting another group

[(Anonymous)]

any deets?

[(Anonymous)]

idk anything aside from the fact that they've announced that they're debuting a 17-member group split into three groups, each promoting in korea, china and japan with all of them having the same songs in different languages
