Hey y'all. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out. I entered a contest, and long story short, the messages that receive the most likes will be published in EXO x MCM COLLECTORS BOOK, which means Exo might get the chance to read my message and ultimately know that I exist. You don't need to sign up or anything. All you need to do is click the heart inside of the hexagon when my photo and message opens. Again, I'd really appreciate it

Currently in Mexico, I have been here for the past few days. I am having a blast and will give deets later.
I hope everyone is doing ok. Pissed that Jessica is no longer part of SNSD.
Of course mess would happen when I canīt be around to see it.
In the wake of Jessica’s departure from Girl’s Generation, which was accompanied by rumors of marriage as well as conflict between the girl group members, SM Entertainment stocks have taken a dip.
From September 29 to October 1, the shares fell 3,350 won from 40,750 won to 37,400 won, which was the market closing price on October 1.* With SM’s total number of shares amounting to roughly 20.6 million, the dip resulted in a loss of 69.1 billion won (approx. 65 million USD) for the label, a drop from a total worth of 841.4 billion won to 772.2 billion won. While SM was on the recovery following the EXO-Kris controversy earlier in May of this year, their stocks have hit yet another decline.
The dip from May to July was from Kris then uptick then a decrease with RV and Sull departure and then increase with TaeTiSeo etc then another crash thanks to Jessica as you can see if this trend continues, SM will be losing investors and the company value will decrease losing their impact in Korean Entertainment.
For SM to retain its reputation as the top Korean company, confidence from the business sector of Korea has to grow. Any more scandals would disastrously hurt SM chances of recovery. A good suggestion to improve company, would not be to focus on another EXO comeback especially with Luhan sick. That would have the chance to cause disastrous results. Push with the Jungsis album to show that SM is behind Jessica even though SNSD is not. By T-araing the girls of SNSD, SM will make up money from investors though SNSD will lose fans. In the long run, investors will increase the company value more so than a group that is risking disbandment within the next 3-4 years.

Great analysis Q!
I still don't understand why it happened. If it was internal conflict, I fail to get why they all signed on again for three years, knowing they have grievances with select members? And if that was the case, they had been faking it for a while already, so what was that final straw and why did it break after signing on for more of the same???
It makes no sense for anyone's best interests, especially SM, given all the scandals they have had this year and their $$$ going to ****. We know that SM/the girls were gonna pretend Sica was sick for missing the China fanmeet, but Sica put a stop to that
That shows that SM/SN8D were trying to save face/their stock index and at least they weren't treating this with total idiocy. However, them actually thinking Sica would take that news quietly, after a 12 hour flight, at 4am was complete idiocy
I genuinely think SNSD are done from this. Not like a cold turkey style thing, they'll still have comebacks of course, but they have definitely reached their peak and this is now sadly the start of their decline. It doesn't help we know the expiry date - 2017, if they even make it this far. This could spoil them a lot faster than intended...
The thing is though, SM's money makers are proven to be large groups. Especially boybands. SNSD were the exception, not the rule, as far as girlgroups and money making goes... RV could very well get popular, by SM giving them the royal treatment, but to put the future of the company on them??? I'm not a betting man (to be cliche), but that sounds way too uncertain to me. Furthermore, with female idols popularity going down to an all time low... it's just not looking good for SM's next generation.
I see RV being another f(x) [if even], unless the whole Blue & Yellow thing is real. It must be though, right? No shade to RV, but that cannot be the only girlgroup SM have had training. They're good and all, but I would genuinely be shocked if that was their ace card, knowing what YG is up to.
YG's best act.
Where is PLAY Vol 2 like they promised us earlier this year
Krystal's drama is hideous and Sooyoung's is a borefest from what I've heard
SNSD killed the KDRAMA scene as well as the KPOP scene
They were... weird? And just stupid? For lack of better terms that is. Both the dialogue (which could be cultural) and general stories...
Like the bitch (Sooyoung) goes out to an island in the middle of nowhere and she so happens to bump into this butcher guy that assaulted her earlier in the episode. He told her he would break her legs and skin her, because she wanted to buy more than the limit of beef (two packs per person), to feed her sick patient??? And that guy had kids??? And when she saw his kids, two complete strangers, she started crying [by herself, while he was standing on rocks by the beach pouring out alcohol into the ocean] and a voiceover went, "Why do I cry when I see children?"
And then one of his kids had her period, so Sooyoung tied her top around it, because she was wearing white pants (naturally) and she's a nice person apparently? Then she got all defensive when the father asked why she [a stranger] was around her children. I turned it off after seeing another middle aged actress with a facelift.
Then Krystal was lusting after her boss's (Rain) D and he was weirdly infatuated with her, which was kind of odd given the relationship setting. He would like follow her around her neighborhood, saying he was walking his dog, but she lived in a ****** part of Seoul and he was rich, so how did they even cross paths? But apparently he was anywhere she went, which was OK. And she would put on giant stuffed dog's heads to talk to him or something. And fangirls would beat her up in alleyways??? Plus Dani from T-ARA is the victim of a stage mom or something?
I felt like I travelled to some alt universe and all the comments were so positive. I dunno, maybe it's me, but reading those back, I can't help but think otherwise..........
6. [+401, -87] They said so on Healing Camp... that they'd keep the name SNSD without any member changes even after marriage.
I honestly think they set them-selves up for all this hate. If they didn't constantly try to shove it in people's faces that they were never going to break up and that their bond is un-breakable, then I'm sure everyone's reactions would be different.

Nah, everyone's shocked because it was so sudden and the way it was conducted. And it being one of the most popular members also doesn't help. That stuff is more tertiary, but it's still something that will be used against them. Every idol group says that kinda stuff though. It was more the fans that craved that bond, so the girls were just giving it back to them. Good thing they released Indestructible first and not Divine, because that would have been a complete mess
And sis, no need for the hyphens in either of those words

Wow.
Divine? I had it on repeat the night the news broke
Sica's part is even more heartbreaking. She sounds like she's giving it her all, because it was her last

That's the thing, it wasn't sudden. People have been speculating this for YEARS and she even said she thinks about leaving on a daily basis for gods sake The only reason no one gave it the time of day was because they constantly proclaimed they were never going to split.it I do agree however that the way it was conducted also plays a major role in the reaction from fans/netizens.
