How much a company is worth doesn't help anyone if the investors aren't getting money back...And the fact YG stock is higher than SM shows and trending upwards (closed today with 2.93% increase selling each stock of YG at 51,000 won) while SM is moving downward (their stock selling at 38,050 won)

YG market Cap is 796.04B won...thats how much the company is worth.
SM market cap is 819.28B won.

For a company which prides itself for having over 70 artists...SM market cap should be way higher than YG.

But GODNee still stays winning.

So SM locked f(x) in the dungeon for Sulli's insubordination and only fed the rest of them the remains of Sulli's murdered body?

YASS Jekyll it's weave isn't safe!

Kinda doing the most. My prediction is that all the Team B original members will make it plus Chanwoo based on his pre-existing popularity/exposure, plus tbh the group really needs a cutesy visual and he could fit that slot regardless of the fact he's otherwise completely unsuited to the group's style. But even so like all of the original Team B members are reeeeeeally talented and are a great team together so they'll slay even if they are forced to take on one dud of a member.

Because you techinically are right but doesn't mean its going to last long. YG is creating Synerygy between his investments. He promotes his artists, his artists promote his products, His products promote his models, his models get endorsements, those endorsements create exposure, that exposure leads to self promotion of his company, his company gets interest, brings in new investors like Louis Vuitton, that interest brings new artists, he promotes those new artists etc etc etc. This guy even has in house directors who don't direct videos for other agencies.

SM lacks that synergy. SM promote their artists, promote their plays, promote their shows but there is nothing tangible for the consumer to possess. They are relying on fanbases to make their money off of merchandising when it would actually be smarter for SM to become one of the top shareholders of Blanc and to promote the crap out of it. I know they own a travel agency why not use it to their success. Then maybe some fashion agency will invest money also into SM.
