f(x)- NU ABO, Hot Summer, Danger... I would recommend those they're pretty good.
Infinite I don't know only heard Be Mine and didn't like it.

5) la cha ta, see last comment
and thaaaaaaaaat's about all you need to know with them.
I like Hot Summer, Nu ABO, and Mr. Boogie. Not here for Danger.
Honestly, Danger/Pinocchio is just a slightly more hip-hope ripoff of the sound SM was beginning to use with "Hoot" anyway. I'm just slightly using it because it's not as shite as most of the album tracks from them.
And btw, I have never heard an Infinite or f(x) song before. Are they good? Bad?
Oh, INFINITE are super overrated. Just listen to Nothing's Over and Be Mine and you'll have all you need from them.
Their English is pretty bad, though, so Nothing's Over sounds like yakisoba to me in the chorus. You can literally sing yaki-soba and it will fit with the melody.
I absolutely loathe how predictable it is, who's going to come out on top.
Well, I mean, while it's a shame that SM has the most money on their side for payola and promo, we can't pretend that they aren't usually statistically the strongest in debuts. I mean, they go through yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrsssssssss of that **** before they get on a stage. Just like the other companies, yeah, but they have HOT and TVXQ to live up to. Plus, the bottom line is the group with the strongest title track is gonna do best, and we already know SM practically has a factory for those.
Receipt ? The YG group is rumored to debut this year, unless Yang Hyun Suk chickens out ofc.
The YG girl group debuts this summer, I highly doubt he'd debut another group this year on top of that, especially since he's so careful with everything regarding Big Bang and 2NE1.

That's just how it is.
You hit the nail on the head. It's rather unfortunate, really, that groups on the big three, especially on SM, become the most successful and earn the most accolades. I'd love to see other companies rise with their own groups, but it so rarely occurs because of the dominance and near-monopolization of the Korean music market that SM, YG, and JYP have. What's saddest to me is how a lot of the newer or less established companies will attempt to utilize the same methods that SM does, and it doesn't turn out well.

My receipt is YG's past history. He never debuts two in one year, and he's expressed very clear intentions to put out the girl group with the Superstar K girl in it this year specifically. Between that and BIGBANG's comeback and 2NE1's comeback and possible further overseas activities, YG would have too many things that he has to absolutely get perfect to risk adding one in there and ****ing someone up in consequence. The strength that he has over SM is focus - whereas SM essentially forgets about acts for months at a time, seemingly (I'm looking at SHINee!), YG makes sure everyone gets an equally bright shine.
Except for Se7en and Gummy because the public wasn't here for them tbh
. I'm ready for the baptizing.
