Dear SM Entertainment,
Sep. 24th, 2010 09:10 pmI think we really need to have a talk. See, you keep doing this thing, where you get me interested in a pretty face, and then steal my heart by revealing the adorable personality and heart of gold that lies behind said face. And I have no problem with that - that's why I'm here, after all - it's what comes next that is really starting to get old.
Do you think you could just stop with this breaking my heart - and soon?
I mean, I'm like five for five right now, and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. There's Amber, the ignored last fifth of f(x) who may or may not even be under contract at this point. There's Henry, the sweet, down-to-earth golden boy who can keep up with Donghae while playing Mozart on his violin. Zhang Liyin, who blows every k-pop diva out there out of the water, but still hasn't gotten more than her debut album from four years ago. Oh, and did I mention Zhou Mi? The kid who was on his way to becoming a nationally-recognized host before you snapped him up? The guy who was already being listed in magazines as a celebrity personality to look out for in the next ten years before he joined your company? Yeah, for being one of Asia's foremost entertainment industry, I've got to say, you really haven't done much for him. Unless, of course, you call throwing him into a controversy, feeding him to the lions, and watching him keep a smile on his face despite all of it helping.
(Don't get me started on TRAX, either. You'd think a company of your stature would be capable of promoting a band as talented and charismatic as TRAX, for goodness sake.)
So, I just wanted to say, you've got me for now. I love these people too much to walk away while they're still around, and some of them are quite simply too talented to disappear despite your complete and utter mismanagement. But I hope you know that the day Mimi and Liyin go back to China, the day Henry and Amber head home and don't come back, the day Jay and Jungmo decide that enough is enough? Yeah, I'm outta here right along with them.
Not that I expect you to actually change or anything, but I thought I might as well bring everything out into the open.
Cheers,
Me
