SM entertainment

[chu-lips]

i never knew before that avex also own SME...
avex is the 2nd share holder in this company...
i found it on wiki....

[Raiu-Ayu]

I believe that avex just recently sold all their stocks from SM. No reason was given but I think it has something to do with SMs reputation coming under fire from several of their acts recently (DBSK, the guy from Super Junior, etc)

[Nackar_91]

Yes. Plus Avex probably wants to keep Tohoshinki, or at least JYJ all for themselves now XD.

[mcluva420]

Avex and SME have problems now

[hearted]

they dont OWN sm XDD they are, or were, just partners

[miroro]

they were, now no more
all because of the tohoshinki problems
avex gave them freedom, and SM doesn't like that

[Olw---A]

well Avex just dropped SM... or it's the contrary... still dunno
but since the TVXQ problems and Suju ones, they don't use Avex to promote their korean artist in Japan.
SNSD are on an other label.

I guess only BoA will continue to be on both companies

[elepop]

Boy I'm glad SNSD isn't under avex trax. Less problems for them.

[Raiu-Ayu]

I don't think that the whole thing will affect artists that are signed to both companies. It's not like SM is lending out BoA to avex, she'll have separate contracts for each company.

The only way it will change things is how avex published some Korean albums in Japan and how SM published some of avex's releases in Korea

[Twinkle !]

i like avex for one reason only ! they have no limited edition for CD+DVD Albums/Singles

[butterfly_ayu]

i like avex artists more as well ^^ never really interested on TVXQ or other artists/groups under SM. but i like BoA though ^^

[Cherry Dynamite]

I don't listen to K-Pop so couldn't careless

[hearted]

um.. i dont think boa will stay with avex but we will see

[hearted]

^nono, i think avex would want boa to stay with them! but all sm artists left avex, so why would boa stay??? sm and avex are over (i mean them doing stuff together not that the company's are over XD)
