ia but i guess they don't really see the point in pushing their idols into variety shows when they're making money and gaining fans without them anyway? when was the last time an entire sm group had their own show lol, snsd's dangerous boys?
i think it's pretty obvious that korean public recognition isn't the company's main goal for their groups anymore, they're more about the international scene now and ~leading the hallyu wave~ i'm not saying they're right or anything, but their recent decisions in promotions (uploading a lot of material like music videos, exo's 23 teasers, music show performances, etc.) point to making more of an impact internationally than just locally
idk how much the sales actually mean? if every fan buys 10+ cds to get into fansigns etc (but maybe SM doesn't care about the number of fans as long as they get the cash). and all these reports about exo being unknown in the general korea. i'm not actually worried bec even with the oversaturated market, SM is still amongst the biggest of wigs and that alone goes a long way. but they can still fuck this up and i will be pissed out of my mind of they do. or they just continue on the tacky mama-esque route and i'll never get to see more of what got me into exo in the first place.
/rant over but yeah, i'll keep your words in mind ;--;
