Breaking: HYBE Announces Withdrawal From SM Acquisition After Coming To Agreement With Kakao

HYBE has announced that it “will discontinue the acquisition process of SM Entertainment.”

With SM Entertainment legally banned from issuing new shares or convertible bonds to Kakao, the conglomerate moved on to attempting to buy shares from existing stockholders instead. Earlier this week, Kakao made a newto SM Entertainment shareholders at a higher price than what was recently offered by HYBE.

According to a press release, HYBE “made this decision after observing that the market has been showing signs of overheating due to competition with both Kakao and Kakao Entertainment.”

Oh, this might actually be the beginning of the end. o would have rather have HYBE, a company that actually is in the same field of SM, rather than Kakao l, who only knows where to look to get more profit in every way they can do it. Artists & employees CAN'T be touched.

Well, SM’s dreams to head west were gone after Kakao injected their money to embrace the new era of the company which still sticks to the Japanese market whose this market is pretty profitable compared to developing Southeast Asian market, except Singapore who is also profitable.

Hahahahahaha

Good thing that fatty ugly won't interupt SM business anymore.

Many speak as if they understand the truth. Everyone comments in their own way like shit. You can't be at peace if your idols just respect each other. Isn't your idol a good role model? Stop making rags like you're in business among them, who know what they really are. +

Stream Young, Dumb, Stupid Don't forget to tune in this coming March 20 for the Title Track. 😊 NMIXX 엔믹스 릴리 LILY 해원 HAEWON 설윤 SULLYOON BAE 배이 지우 JIWOO 규진 KYUJIN

thank god 😍

So when is the kdrama going to start? I need someone to explain this to me in 16 episodes. I prefer Lee Jongsuk as the male lead.

hybe really said😂 am just here for the profitable part , take the rest ticking bomb

Jungwoo’s big nose is safe 😮‍💨

Good move by Hybe. Let’s not get entangled in SM’s dirty laundry

how could they think they won? everyone knows kakao is a demon. but that's good because HYBE won't be bothered by them anymore. After all, isn't papa bear profitable many times over? the shares he bought were bought again by kakao at a good price. I think the HYBE IS THE BEST

I think that is the best

bagussss hybe 🤣🤣 mreka pasti dah tau ada problem yg lebih lebih makanya narik invest, liat aja sm stan hybe lg jago jagonya bisnis mreka lbh tau apa yg terjadi, kalian fans org luar

Good

Love seeing people celebrating this, be prepared for your downfall sweethearts. Anyways, at the end of the day, hybe continues slaying.

HYBE really said 'sike'

war is over

So Hybe and Starship it is. 😁

Hybe will have a substansial profit from the shares they sell to kakao and kakao is just gonna get a headache. this war for SM is just ridiculous..

Yessssssss

if netflix has taught me anything 😭 people with money do shady shit

The way sm stans are cheering this like hybe lost and SM won a war or smtg. Babes, SM is a dumpster fire of corporate failure bound to collapse in on itself without help, and they just let the most willing and capable volunteer run away with all the assets and no liabilities

Yo this shit is a whole new kdrama.

Amen

I feel like SM was screwed either way… just hoping the artists continue to get comebacks and minimal drama

People just don't get it and how kakao works. I feel nervous for the artists. I wish them all the luck though

no corporation is good but kakao taking over is prob the worst thing

dont know whats going on but why it is like they did this to make that agreement with kakao happen...

Oh good

Let kakao take over fuck hybe

Good riddance of this obsessive company & it’s obsessive fans. At least we don’t have to deal with these clingy people. Let these clingy people say whatever they like 😏 coz no matter what their opinions & ours never gonna align so this is the best for them & best for us too😌

not hybe stans praying for the take over weeks ago but now they are like 'good, hybe dont want flops' like yall fr?💀😭

At least season 1 of that kdrama is over. Is there a 2nd season?

monbebe_xclan FELICIDADEEEEE

Mejor, para qué estar cuando la SM se hunda solita jajaja después le echan la culpa a otros. Buena suerte SM!!!!

Hybe take the money and run😭

Que bueno quien va a querer quedarse despues del drama que hizo el sobrino que mal quedó Sm

For the first time ever they realize they could not take more than what they can chew

It's sad and embarrassing that people are having fan wars in the comments about this 🤦🏽‍♀️

The financial literacy of this thread… like on a scale from 1 to 10, it’s -100

thank god. i don't want hybe to EVER touch my sm artists. sm is shitty, but hybe is fucking worse.

YESSSSS!!!!!

If nct is okay, im okay

A win for SM company stan… good luck to all artist i hope they will have good bargaining power for their profit distribution fee and get paid as deserved.

Well I’m happy that hybe is out that kind of drama with those,,, look at the artists of hybe,, they are the reflection of how hybe managed their labels unlike those who are relatives but they’re greedy pips

Well that’s the end,,, I thought still have another episode, but wait what episode did they ended? 😁

It would be interesting and accurate if the new management Kakao,looked a little more into the artist beyond profits. Considering that Yunho has been with the company since 2001 and has not had the opportunity in his entirety as an honorary artist for the company, he is not just…

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Honestly as much as I love BTS (and I do with all my heart), what are HYBE doing... it's clear that they bid too high and couldn't secure another loan. Leave SM to SM, stop buying the world and look after the artists you have. I'm not a fan of how HYBE has been acting recently.

Good job for hybe💜

Bakal ada season 2 ga nih

They ere so eager to join the mess to bigin with

Business war haven't ended!! It's just have started .. in Coming days who knows what will happen btw hybe and sm. Fun fact : Bang PD shocked SM rocked I didn't like that both companies were fighting it all about business 👀

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO YALL BOUTTA BE SCREWEDDJWJDKEKD

SEASON 2 PLZ COME OUT QUICKLY!!! CAN'T WAIT!

Well, LSM got backstabbed.. again.. I just hope my NCT babies are okay..

YESSSSS

haha

45 I vote YetToCome as BestMusicVideo at the iHeartAwards for 2023

omg sm's pink is safe 3

back to their homes

alvionanda TYL!!! 🤍

We won

belum bersatu udah mau cereeee😭🤣🤣🙏🏻

So we divorced before marriage 🙂

Udahan gais?

i need a recap/summary of what happened im too lazy to go search 😭😭😭

Drama banget 😅

Good job HYBEOFFICIALtwt for not jumping into Titanic...👏👏👏

And people saying hybe and kakao are the same? Like kakao are the worst and they are now happy that sm is back to kakao!? 💀 Is something wrong with their head!? It's not even funny! Like how they want their idols for the best but instead thrown them to the pit!

😂😂👍

Everyone hates hybe so much they are enjoying that SM is now under a company known mistreat the artists under them, curb their freedome for profits and also pulled all artists music from spotify for some stupid reason...( i believe thats sorted now tho).

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

hybe finally realized it ain't worth it lmao

Let SM stans enjoy what's coming for them 💀💀💀

The funny thing about all this is the fans of artists under 'companies related to this matter ' acting like they own any of the companies...

Hybe got scared Kakao is gonna release their shady disgusting bussines lmao. Good for SM and their artist.

ceuk urang ge naon

And we cheered

SugaNSprite 👀🫢

We’re saved from sausage fingers money hungry

Yes 👏 HYBE stay away from those untrustworthy people, finally, we won 🙌. Cheers.

Karma

Yah gajadi saudaraan owkokwkokw

Good Job HYBEOFFICIALtwt 👍🏼

AUR? We safe?

tapi jadi SM dilema ga sih nanti sama hybe dihujat gajadi sama hybe dihujat juga kasian kembang desa inih sama kakao serba salah terus kudu eottoke

I was actually hoping for this ending. Let’s see let’s see, I hope SM stans are right, that kakao is better than hybe (well for SM for that matter). Hybe let’s go!!!!! Let them be them, let us be us 🏄🏻

cheering so hard

wkwk ga jelas

New money vs old money🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yall really want to f*ck around and find out 😂😂😂😂 if anything this is getting even more interesting

thank you

Very Good Decision, it will require so much money. No need to waste on such a corrupted company. 14.8% is already a lot, they will get enough money from that percentage. When HYBE themselves are home of world class, expensive idols then they shouldn't be too greedy for that.

GOOD JOB HYBE

💃💃💃💃

There is little in this world which I enjoy more than huge companies making a fool of themselves. This was nice 🤣

And season 2 begins....popcorn anyone .

syukurlah hybe sadar dan ga jadi akuisisi 😮‍💨

Thank god. SM did not need them and HYBE would have just dulled SMs sparkle.

Lol what kind of play is this

Mantap😎

Good job HYBEOFFICIALtwt gua dukung lu yg begini

HYBE se va con lo que siempre quiso y con la billetera llena Creo que mas adelante los mismos fanáticos de sm verán los resultados

Thank goodness. SM is saved else who knows which group would have been disbanded under Hybe like it happened with Gfriend & Nu’est. Whatever the motive Hybe & LSM had hope Kakao have a better motive & interest for kpop

total fraud alert

Alhamdulillah kaga jd sma Patrick. Selamat jd budak coklat, Patrick👋 Pusing bgt tuh agensi, lempar sini lempar sana, bediri sendiri aja ngapa.

For HYBE it's a good decision, you have opened the eyes of the world what happened in the sm agency.

Anyway

It's better this way

so.. HYBE earns 450M from all this but Kakao loses more money. Good luck

Deus é bom o tempo todo

Hybe really won wow.. they got the qpp they wsnted and made 450mil$ and dipped😭🤣 now sm stans cant blame hybe anymore

Thank god. 👍Good call HYBEOFFICIALtwt

This is the best news so in a long time

Lol

Yeyyy good..focus solo Bangtan or another artist hybe label okay 🥰

ini gk jadi akhir nya? batal wahhhh bagussssssss, aku suka ini udah biarkan kakao yg ambil

Welp this was a very exciting drama but I’m sad it ended. Anyways time for me to go back into denial that Kai is taking the number one spot in my Exo bias list

thanks for your time

Lmaooo wowza who woulda thought 💀💀

This shows how HYBEOFFICIALtwt is. SM don't deserve HYBEOFFICIALtwt Don't save a company that doesn't want You did a great job ✊✊ In all this SMTOWNGLOBAL just tried to ruin HYBEOFFICIALtwt ' name, goodwill, etc.

🤨🤨

minimal hybe malu sih udah koar-koar bakal akuisisi SM sampe ngutang

hhhh really drama why not build a group discussion

Well best of luck to SM and their artists.. SM got what they wanted, HYBE got what they wanted, with DearU and Kakao got what they wanted.. Now I wanna see how Kakao plans to take SM artists into the West, and what HYBE has planned for Weverse and DearU.. It's all so interesting

HYBEOFFICIALtwt You did great. 😊 ❤️❤️

Was a big SM fan but man idk I just don’t feel SM will be the same.

🫤🫤🫤 well... that's one drama ended... we'll see how this goes.

jheth9 so long as BTS is okay; i’m good, cool, chill here, sippin’ my cupa’ … 💜 rappin, dancin, and singin onthestreet_by_jhope BTS_twt jhopeXJCole

Starship vs. Hybe? Yeah, Lee Sung Soo just ruined SM. HYBE talents will dominate. SM will just be like Kakao's Starship or Antenna. It's a win for HYBE both ways.

Thanks bang PD finally you can think clearly.. you can stay away from their problem

SM stans are celebrating not knowing that Kakao is going to overwork their faves to death 😂

Lee Sung Soo just caused the downfall of SM Entertainment. What is Starship compared to Hybe?!

kakao must've have some dirt on hybe for them to suddenly back away

I like how kpop fans suddenly experts in business finance investments and all.. Anyway, tell Lsm that Karma exists! What a day to celebrate as a Cassiopeia 😌❤️

Wow udahan

Setelah drama panjang dengan berapa episode. Endingnya memuaskan banget kalau gini. Hybe great job 🙌

Yessss 😍

Good decision by HYBEOFFICIALtwt ! Was worried of the blame game on the performance of idols and celebrities of SM. Now if something bad to any of the talents of SM, in the hands of Kakao … its good that Hybe is not to blame.

r__aleia uy

Thanks God! EXO is coming back and I will never forgive HYBE if they control and push up prices of fan merches. This is what they did to Seventeen and fans are not at all happy.

hhhhh good for SM, kuning tertolak lagi

Hybe tried to take over SM and had to back off, which is embarrasing for them regardless of what salty Hybe fans are trying to convince us. Of course Lee Sooman is the biggest loser here. Can't say that I have any sympathy for him.

Emang paling bener sendiri2 aja

But still Hybe owns a certain percentage of shares in SM , which was belonged to LeeSooMan before ? They just stop the tender offer to other shareholders ?

It’s good that Hybe withdrew…….let’s not be greedy and don’t continue to swallow companies. Competitive companies fester growth and opportunities……y’all need to compete not become a communist worry about your company and groups instead in bettering their opportunities

HYBE would’ve been the better option but I’d rather not have them involved. Let SM deal with their own problems and face the consequences of their choices. Let SM and Kakao do their own thing and let HYBE thrive as they are. It was a crazy ride of a drama, indeed 😂

KAI COMEBACK TOMORROW

stayzensjjang kenapa lagi dah nih 😶‍🌫️

wtf

dasurv

Good luck to all low income generating group and sm stan should pray that they still be getting free contents from their faves. 😌

Finally,this what i hope. To KE+Hybe work together rather than a war. At least w/ working tgthr like this KE wont do anything to Hybe. They r partner now. Hybe met wth KE at d bginning,but wasnt able to reach agremnt. I know when i read KE contacted Hybe,they will hve an agrment

Thank god NCT won't have their lightsticks changed to some plane minimalistic one

KAI to release his third solo album “Rover” March 13th, tune in! KAI_Rover

Wow didn't see this happening .....best drama I have seen this year!!!!!!👏🥳 Will there be a season 3 though 🤔 👀

the question is, are they still paying for lsm 'plants'

FINALLY....GOOD DECISION HYBE 🤗

congrats pink blood!

Good job HYBEOFFICIALtwt Enough of the drama. We will smash the upcoming debut of JIMIN and comebacks of Le Sserafim, Enhyphen, Seventeen etc

“the market has been showing signs of overheating due to competition with both Kakao and Kakao Entertainment.” Those who actually read the article, can anyone explain what this means?

A espera del REY 👑💎 TAEMIN SHINee 🎉🎊🎉🎊😙

Aaaaaa akhirnya dilepas juga ya. Congrats hybeee

This is gonna be fun 🤭

kakao is worse

Lol

GOOD FOR U HYBEEEE.

I just curious about their twitter combo, so it's useless right?

Que buena noticia . Ahora a esperar al REY 👑💎 TAEMIN SHINee 🎉🎉🎊🎊

Perdramaan ini apakah akhirnya berakhir?

Akhirnya selesai dramanya

This tea is about to burn tongues, we will just sit this one out, thank you hybe, the ⏰ ticks. I just hope they don't develop amnesia

ALHAMDULILLAH

war is overrrr?

Drama was great, now kakao is worst, sm gonna suffer.

jadi gak bisa nct x seventeen? tapi yaaa bodoamat aowkaowkaowkaowk

ulala

great move, it's still a win-win situation for hybe. they get the platform and out of drama.

thank freaking god. Just leave sm alone

aerlin_aerlin Nur_iimcute i_m_lovelee alhamdulillah

I hope si pink beneran hancur sih,

very,very wrong move sm

Wow look at this so bad for them

GOOD 👍

Bguss

Hybes not gone...they are going to work with kakao and not take over SM by buying more shares. Iim worried though, kakao doesn't have a good rep woth how they treat artists snd music distribution, i do not get why SM sold their music rights to them...lets wait and see.

It was all pointless at the end! Hooray!

hybe media play is insane 😭😂

😂😂😂

Tamat nih dramanya?

Hybe panen duit wakakaka💅

God knows what will happen when the manipulater kakao does starts the all time villian game with SM😂

Finally hybe realise sm ent is worth 😍glad it over kakao n sm deserves each other now pls announced le sserafim n fromis9 comeback n tour 🥺the best decision hybe has ever done this year thanks hybe for backing out of this messy company

That's such a relief!Never want any relation of SM with Hybe!

Ohhhhh boy

idk if i like this ending or not but it’s a good drama lmfao

حالا تکلیف اکانت عاشقشون چی میشه😂

Tbh I really dun understand why those hype fans think that sm without hype cannot survive. The fact that Sm is still profitable and make money, especially now all their new generation grp, e.g. nct, aespa, rv, exo are selling albums over 1 million, which is sth hype cannot do

bagus lah esem bagus

Sm is too much for hybe tp handle. Public opinion is their worst enemy.

That was fast! It didn't even come up to 10 episodes. Hella entertaining though.

the end of the show 🍿👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm so happy for this🥺

Made my day 💓

HAHA THEY REALLY STEPPED BACK AFTER RUINING SM'S PEACE 🤣

Lol

I predict the future 💅 Good job HYBE!! They're not worth it

yeayy chukhaee sm ikut seneng deh dgrnya🫶

Hybe don’t even bother 😇 let them stay with kakao you focus on the groups you’re accomplishing with.

Dear HYBEOFFICIALtwt youve been out here making SMwithHYBE and then this? Be serious.

Omg .. what a good news on this lovely Sunday! Good Job HYBEOFFICIALtwt. Dont ever think to merge with toxic company like them. Just stay with whatever existing subsidiary company that you have now.. They’re all great!

Thank god they withdraw. HYBE know their worth 🤌

bagus lahh, jauh jauh dah lu

But that's a good drama than kdrama 👏😏

Alhamdulillah

No matter what, Hybe still win. Wether they will sell their shares or just remain as big shareholder. They still got a lot of money. So HYBE win 😂

🤣🤣

Great news and finally🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nct127 please get out of the company, it still has a great future.. Don't let them just use their fame to sell their other groups!! Run away from that company and you can grow much more!! before SM ruins them 😭

and they have to buy back Hybe stocks with more expensive price 😂 good job Hybe 🎉

Who care? In the end all these companies are just making money

Im so confused isnt this worse for them given Kakao’s history… ?

So finally this drama ends right?

Thank God wolves are out 💜

good then

gk jls

I'll be praying for everyone from this point on.

Akhirnya ada titik temunya ni drama

good things in this day 🤍

I guess then we will continue with the 'mistakes' in the next albums of nct127, their star group these last years, which have built their own fame. But SM doesn't care and just wants to use that to support the younger ones I guess in the end we still don't have a happy ending

THANK GOD! Now. We watch.

esooooooooooooo adioooooooss odiosas de pacotilla ya no ls extrañaremossssss no regresen

Bro it's business and I saw many people againist hybe acquisition so ya got what u wished for. But remind u kakao is worse than the picture u painted hybe to be.

Hybe makin kaya aja

always remember hybe don’t need sm to be the most famous, richest & most powerful kpop company out there. they’re already doing so amazing without them. i’m glad hybe withdraw the acquisition bc sm has a dirty management in the first place like seriously who would even want that?

That's great news. 🥳

good luck w kakao kwjdkdj

Yesss alhamdulillah ga jadi rugi wkwkwk

thank god

Pada heboh amat, ini kan ranahnya udah bisnis mau SM sama Hybe ato sama Kakao, itu kan keputusan bisnisnya SM ngapain fans Hybe pada sensi sih 😂😂

Udah lah ngutang sana sini buat akuisisi ya Nah gitu ga usah serakah ya..

Well good cause at least when issues arise they won’t be able to blame HYBE for anything lol. Good luck with Kakao

HAHAHAHAH DI KAYA NG HYBE.

Hybe isn't even better and neither is kakao. And at this point,we can see how h stan react. They act like 'oh yeah that's a good decision h' 'SM isnt worth the money' blahblah. I don't think u guys can welcome SM's artists well. So this is a win for me, free my idol from h stan💁

www_xuxi It is about time HYBEOFFICIALtwt now go focus on your own shit.

Alhamdulillah.

Great job HYBEOFFICIALtwt 💜❤ i knew it 😍 yeaaah HYBE free from that god forsaken trashy company

Good job Hybe, Let these pink bloods and their company fck with kakao now🥳🥳🥳 I am so happy for y'all SM stans! U won

Just hope the best for SM’s artists that’s all

Good job Hybe

Lol love this. HYBE really said fuck this, made profit, and left SM to the wolves. It will be really fun to watch Kakao run SM into the ground.

thank god, hybe was about to give the best promo in the West sm groups ever had now they will keep flop lol

Dm ham hố ăn trọn somu làm chi vay nợ cả nghìn tỷ won rồi hàng năm trả nợ cho lsm nữa. M lại tiếp tục bào tiền ảmu vs 875 để trả nợ cho m nữa đi 😀 HYBEOFFICIALtwt

Mañana: sm va de picada. Después de desperdir a mas de 100 empleados y sometiendo a más de 5 grupos a períodos de hambruna... No importa quien sea la sm seguirá haciendo drama🤭

HAHAHSHSSHSHS FINALLY SELESAI JUGA NI DRAMA🤣👏

Ya ga jadi saudaraan deh🤣🤣🤣awokawoka kasian🤣🤣

Great news!! Yeay!

lol people celebrating as if this is a good thing. I'm glad though HYBE withdrew. If SM wants to be monopolized, then by all means.

Hybe won this battle. They will be merging weverse with SM's platform. Will be selling their shares at higher price. Can acquire other smaller labels. Good job. It's a win-win for hybe. Now with SM, kakao should change the current management immediately. Hoping the best for SM.

Good job HYBEOFFICIALtwt . let's just focus on your artists, don't forget to be fair in artist promotions.

So Hybe bought LSM shares at 120,000W per share and a bidding war with Kakao increased the value to 150,000W. I would say thats a nice ROI for 1 month work

Hybes win SM loss Hybe still benefits in SM SM will be gone in a few days because Kakao is on their way ❤

Bahagia banget!!!

korique behavior

Ok the drama is over, now back to your own life.

LONG LIVE SM

Kakao is waving ❤

good 😊

3 most common Hybe fan reactions to losing SM battle to Kakao. 1.BRAVDO🥱”we never wanted SM”2. DENIAL KAKAO are the 👿 3. EMBARRASED “walk of shame”. As I said like others. Kakao did their homework, savy kingmaker & rich backers. Hybe were too naive. One plus for all, LSM gone🤞

intinya adalah. Sm tetep di kuasai oleh kakao yang orang luar. Bahagia bgt dengan keputusan hybe. But semangat buat para netizen yang suka julid semoga kedepannya bisa lebih semangat lagi ngehype idolnya ya biar sukses. Siapin duit biar agencynya makin kayak. Strem jg

yaelah tamatt

the fact that y’all prefer kakao over HYBE says a lot about you ‘fans’ 🤭 but go off !!

everyone celebrating as if kakao is any better 🤧

Acquisition is perhaps the strongest word to be heard in the kpop industry!! I just hope everything is on good terms...somewhat!!😌🙏

oh thank god enough of this shit idc anymore

Good news and good job HYBEOFFICIALtwt you know how to collect your money 😉😎

So sm isn’t apart of hybe? I’m confused

What? Seriously? 🤣

Apasih pusing

What good about Hybe handling SM at the first place?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 i mean they even didn’t pay any respect on the company’s identity first place 🤡 Good for them that at least Kakao let them withdraw or else Hybe will be deep in debt

bye Hybe👋🎉

and now we're waiting for that SM and kakao downfall

So remember. Any fck up towards your fav need to be refer to kakao .okay?

Lee sooman looking stupid right now LMFAOOOOO

I’m looking forward to the next season! Will SM be truly ok under Kakao? Wait for the next season to find out!

I want kakao gone too

kapalku karam 😢 congrats yh buat cerainya🥳😍

3 babi ini ribet banget

good job... mending kayak gini, drpd ntar ada maslaah diagensinya, yg dsalahin ttp elo Hybe...

Thank god.. HYBEOFFICIALtwt u did it well

Both trash

WAR IS OVER!!! WE ARE FREEE 🎉🎉

kuucapkan selamat pink bloodies

hybe hate to say the truth about no more money left to get win thru official tender 🤣 ofc kakao has more power & money! Give an excuse for the withdrawal as 'may harm hybe shareholders value' lmao funny af you're the one who gaslighting the market by ur SM obsessions 🤣

KIM KAI coming with bangers on MARCH 13 Tune in for c0ck riding music

finally 😭 it's better going this way. I don't want HYBE to get into unnecessary drag & hate anymore

people who are happy about the 'monopolisation' not happening, trust me, you're gonna have it worse when kakao starts pulling shit on sm ent y'all seriously do not know what's coming.

DASURV

Thank god good decision hybe!!!

The hybe stans belive the loser tmikpop ... His user is known army

Thank God. Let that ship sink

WKWKWKW ANJIRR after all this drama

Ang gulo ng puke ng hybe

Happy ending💃💃 thank you hybe emang udah paling bener kayak gini aja gausah bantuin mereka. Kita liat aja gimananya setelah di pegang sama kakao nanti awkwkwk

I just wondering how lsm feeling now? Maybe still happy coz he got a lot of money from selling his shared to hype.

the drama is over...for now 🧐

better choice for sm 👌

Any of you that think this is a loss for HYBE are sucking some major 🍆. SM needs a bail out and HYBE has already shown to be fair with letting their subsidies run themselves, it yeah, take Kakao and see how they treat y’all’s groups 🫢

Nothing more to say, nice move Nepobaby SM director. I hope you're proud after embarrasing yourself for this.

Finally!! We can now all free from this pink drama, let's go home HYBE they're unworthy

Thank God, away from the yellow devil and their fans 🙏

People not understanding that HYBE never needed SM. Before this drama, HYBE was the 1 Kpop company, and STILL is even now. HYBE has BTS and NEWJEANS, so they are more than good. Plus TXT who's rising globally, the new BigHit boy group who gonna be HUGE, and Min Heejin new group

Meh, both company is terrible tbh. Goodluck for sm (well sm is not a good either) I cant wrap my head with the fact theres a people who stan A CORPORATION, bestie of CAPITALISM like how

at least bang is out of the picture in management role and lee soo man is gone for good, i call that a win

y’all rly acting like kakao any better..

Finally morning Heavy Drama end .

Deact please SMwithHYBE

Duh the Drama finally came to an end😌

aquilakyu 🤣🤣😁

Hah

Yes...Finally SM stans can't blame HYBE now when SM will fail to take of care SM artists career in their future. nice decision HYBEOFFICIALtwt

All kakao has to do is threaten to not let hybe artists on melon, expose all hybe kakao talk messages, and reveal to journalists all their kakao pay records… It’s weird how anyone thinks kakao is better when they’re the scariest

oh confusao

good news

Finally, all resolved I can breathe a sigh of relief and other ARMYs because the SM booth fans stopped making hate comments against hybe. because ever since the news circulated, stan sm fans always said something untrue about hybe, finally hybe gave up its shares to kokoa

When people are happy about this not knowing how bad it will be will always make me laugh. Preferred HYBE over Kakao any day

Alhamdulillah

Bye HYBE

Udah bikin akun twitter sama youtube bersama, malah karam🤣🤭 wkwkwk

slayyyyyy

Seharusnya lu pada curiga sih wkwkwkwk

remember when kakao removed half of the kpop industry from spotify 3 years ago? just in case you think theres good guys in kpop 💀

Another drama drama

So this is war... Is.... Over....

Jadi yanh menang si K?

We won but hybe should stay away from dearU they gonna destroy it 💀💀

ok

Kakao has a leash on Hybe maybe they threatened to exposed all their shady dealings 👀

As they should

There’s no money for hybe,it’s so embarrassing

YESSSSSSSS!!!

THANK YOU KAKAO

KAKAO WE HATE YOU

oooooh 😮🍿😂

Not care who’s better, as long SM not with that yellow thing 🙌🏻

Yessssss!!

udah tamat nih dramanya?

Oh finally the drama is over

Hybe left the chat

How are people thinking that they won cuz hybe didn’t get the management. Nephew who threatened their employees and ruined sm to the ground will stay in the company, kakao will overwork the artists because sm basically handed all control to kakao.

I think they kinda sort things out rn
