Personal account, CUBE Ent. 2018, SM C&C 2018-NOW, sharing my thoughts & communicating with my fellow SMTOWN family, believing me or not it’s up to you
No. for example.. EXO’s last album’s case, despite that there was big demand after the release; the company didn’t restock the album.
the “more request” after the preordering period ends will be used for Kit/Kihno format versions production of the album and releasing it later.
the company will mainly rely on EXO & NCT’s sales for the rest of 2020;
#EXO
: SC’s repackage, Kai’s debut, BaekHyun’s full album and a possible full group comeback
#NCT
: 127/Dream/U/WayV KOR/JPN/CHN activities and releases + a new unit
#EXO
comeback might happen at the end of the year IF more than half the members are available
currently only 4 are active
most likely scenarios for a comeback:
> waiting for
#Lay
and-or
#Chen
> unexpected (4 members ) sub-unit
> waiting for
#Xiumin
&
#DO
to be discharged
#NCT2020
is currently used for:
- New NCT unit 1
- New NCT unit 2
- NCT project with all members
- NCT (for music productions & recordings only)
and no longer used for:
- NCT Dream Extension Project

GAON has a long history of manipulating the monthly physical sales figures, under the excuse of technical errors, although we report the preorders, shipments and sales numbers clearly in time.
they always promise to fix it by the “year-end” but they dont. this only happens to SM
To sum it up:
NCT KOR (NCT127)
NCT CHINA (WayV)
NCT JAPAN (preferenced 1)
NCT SEA x V-Pop United Team
NCT Vietnam (preferenced 2)
NCT Thailand
NCT Indonesia
NCT South America (in 3 years)

🚨update: a possible reunion & activities of
#GirlsGeneration
ahead of the 20th anniversary is in the early talks!
early proposals are including;
- greatest hits compilation & remixes albums in Korean and Japanese
- self-produced variety show
- Asian Tour
@GirlsGeneration
no fixed dates regarding Kai & the New Girl Group’s debuts yet (can be decided at any moment) but under the current circumstances I think NGG in September and Kai solo in October is a good choice, Thoughts?!
#SM
#SMNGG
#KAI
about
#FX
-
#Krystal
&
#Victoria
are still under SM
- both members are busy; acting & China activities
- there’s a lack of communication between the company and the other two independent members compared to SNSD’s ind. members. so it makes it hard for a full group comeback
the company was not informed about the ad case, but I’ve been told that
@JoongAngDaily
is a news portal and they have all the right to share any news about SM artists as long as it’s objective and harmless to the artists & their privacy and reputation

New girl group identity concepts that were cercling around the development phases:
-an independent full group
-female unit of NCT
-similar NCT-system concept
-similar EXO-K/EXO-M concept
-fixed members + rotational members
which one you found more interesting?
#SMNGG
#SR20G
because many of you flooding my DMs with this question, you guys know they were trademarked as “NCT CHINA” right? So why the confusion!?
#NCT
#WayV
#SM
My Personal Thoughts:
Bakhyun’s full album originally dated for the end of 1Q 2021 so why the rush?
also for EXO’s full group comeback, I think it would be better if they wait for D.O/Xiumin & Lay
NCTDream’s full album should be a priority, the company knows their selling power
#NCT2020

- New NCT unit 1

#NCT
#SM
& for
#SNSD
full comeback, not everyone is available right now ++ the
#OHGG
members contracts’ renewals time is soon.
let’s believe in the girls & wait a little bit more 💗
the closest scenario for now, is an Oh!GG comeback in Q4. (depends)
NCT has exceeded 6,024,123 ‘physical’ sales in South Korea & 7,358,535 worldwide
and nearly 10,000,000 ‘physical + digital’ (China + Global downloads) estimated album-sales
Congrats to the hard working members & the dedicated fans 🎊🎉

the promise must be fulfilled
“february announcement & march/april debut

Now it’s between August & September.
shareholders will be seriously angry if nothing is announced between 14-31 July.
