SNSD bias is going too far?

[This is my first article so it might not be very good]

You probably have all realised the amount of excessive promotions for SNSD.

For example, the amount of their own TV shows.

2007: Mnet's Girls' Generation Goes to School
2007: MTV's SNSD
2008: Mnet's Factory Girl
2009: MBC's Girls' Generation Horror Movie Factory (cancelled 06/14/2009 due to low ratings)
2009: KBS Joy's Girls' Generation's Hello Baby
2009: MBC's Girls' Generation's Himnae-ra Him

For the two years they have been around, they've had 6 reality shows.
SHINee who debuted last year have only had 1 reality show, and SNSD had 2 in their debuting year.

Another mention of Dream Concert and the fact SM humiliated and pushed the blame of the boycott onto Cassiopeia, ELF and Triple S to make SNSD look innocent and victimized by their silent protest.
This of course is not entirely the fanclubs fault as on another article I read, they said SONE were saying around the internet that they didn't need anyone else's support.

SM also purposely delayed their comeback due to tough competition from other artists such as Wonder Girls and DBSK. Although DBSK are also an SM artist, they knew SNSD could not shine alongside DBSK- who are one of the highest selling artists of this decade, no?

There was also the award Taeyeon won at Golden Disk Awards last year.

2008 2008 M.NET Golden Disk Awards Yepp Popularity Award "Deullinayo"

Popularity, I hear you say. This award was evidently "bought" by SM to sneak some SNSD into the award show. It was also a fixed award as she knew she was going to win.

SNSD's "success" with Gee is purely based on the fact they had a catchy song. If it was any other band, I'm sure they would of had the same success.
The nine wins on Music Bank are probably bought as well. 9 awards? 9 members? Fishy, much?
Super Junior won 10 awards OVERALL for "Sorry Sorry" which sold more than double their "Gee" album sales. Even if you add their 2 wins for "It's You" it amounts to 12. So SNSD has 9 members and 9 awards, and Super Junior 13 members, 12 awards. However you may deny KiBum's absence...

This one if just based on SM getting other SM artists to promote SNSD.

How many times has "Gee" been performed? You can't even say it's because it's popular or anything because it's SM paying people to try and save a dying song. Just when you think it's gone it comes back again. Like today on Music Bank. But this time they had 2PM to join the party.
Maybe they were jealous last time it was called Wonder Boys so they wanted their own Boys Generation?

A key example for this is Kim Heechul. Everyone knows of his love for Wonder Girls, specifically Sohee. However recently he has stopped with his "obsession" and moved on to SNSD. You may say this is because of Wonder Girls' departure and hiatus in the KPOP industry atm, or you could say SM asked Heechul to stop promoting another band from another company.

From 090626's Music Bank:

SHINee [Juliette]: Key at 2:17 "My Genie"



Super Junior [It's You / Sorry Sorry]: Heechul at 5:02 "I'm Genie for you ELF"



You don't possibly think that they would just say "Genie" in their performance do you? We know Heechul messes around on stage a lot however if you had Key into the picture, I'm pretty sure SM purposely ASKED them to add it into their performance to help promote SNSD.

SM try way too hard to promote a group that will probably fail if it wasn't for this excessive promoting. Why waste your money on them, which you've already spent loads already on their surgery just so they can debut, when you can bring back some actual talent like The Grace?

TRUE!!! To add to this.....THEY POSTPONED ZLY's MV SHOOTING UNTIL FREAKIN' JULY!!!!! WTF!!!! Seriously, this talentless group gets a comeback with a snap of the fingers before anyone can even miss them and talented ZLY got 2 songs to perform at a 5-6 hour concert, and Chocolates have to wait pratically YEARS (exaggerating) for a new album....>.>

SM SUCKS!!!! They are officially one of the worst managements ever.

Maybe they were jealous last time it was called Wonder Boys so they wanted their own Boys Generation?

LOL. I agree. They wondered why they would pick WONDER BOYS than boys generation. But i KNEW they were going to do "Gee." If Wonder Girls made another song they would have performed it too but with the name Wonder Boys instead (;
AND SNSD just HAD to sing the rest of "Gee" -_____- too.
PLUS ! Did anyone noticed that SM HARDLY promoted SHINee with " Juliette" ? Jeez. talk about biased jerk.

Yeah, SM is playing with fire. If they continue to do this to fan groups, it's just going to be uglier and uglier for SNSD as people make it known that they want attention for their own idols. Not to mention the probability that people will get bored with SNSD, especially with the emergence of other girl groups (and the inevitable return of The Wonder Girls).

I can't say anything about this, because I know, and I'm freaking pissed off about this whole promote ShitD issue. ( YES I'm calling it an issue. )

I guess he does this, because otherwise he gets a fight with Sunny's mom and it it's just his age. He craves for soft porn. That guy should get laid sometime soon, because it's getting out off hand. It's TOO FRIGGIN OBVIOUS !

omg you're so right!

I hate it how they have to use other successful artists to get popular.

poor onew fell

they just have to hardsell these useless plastics -.- mai gawd! LEE SOO MAN what have these plastics done to you ? hmmm they probably gave you lap dances...

PLUS ! Did anyone noticed that SM HARDLY promoted SHINee with " Juliette" ? Jeez. talk about biased jerk.

YES. SHINee are hardly promoted anyway. They got one reality show where as everyone else got 2 or 3. If it wasn't for their hard work, actual talent and charm then they would just be another failure boy band because SM does not promote them enough.
How many shows have they been on since "Juliette"? All I've seen them on is Star King, and even that they were over shadowed my 2PM or SuJu [who are on the show regularly].
I really respect SHINee World for getting them to win 1st Place on their come back stage. It shows it's not just SNSD who can do it this year.

now that you mention it.. this is totally unfair!
The Grace is gone with no news and Ri In comeback is fading!!
SM you old f****** man!

i agree with you 100%
-me ranting---> uggh boys generation??? you have got to be kidding me!!!
okay my jaebeom baby in that??? i mean he does look hot
BUT singing that song?? no, i started crying -___-
i was like NOOO!!! and Key, ahhh no.... poor boys. ugh, haha
i think jo kwon was making fun of the girls xDDDD
and soo true SM promotes those worthless things, ugh it's really irritating

OMG WHAT THE HECK WHY DID SHINEE AND SUJU HAVE TO SAE ALL THOSE GENIE PHRASES DURING THEIR PERFORMANCES?!
Lee Soo Man needs to stop this crap.

You know I'm not joking anymore. Seriously why is SM pushing all the promotions to SNSD? I mean SHINee and SUJU could easily outlast SNSD anytime.. with the number of fans. I mean if talk about sales... all of their sales beat Gee but why???

SNSD is sleeping with the SM management ajusshi. Maybe not only Soo Man. Ughhh I'm serious.. I'm not even making fun of them anymore.

And Hee Chul look like he's yelling it unwillingly... T_T.. I mean you can tell from the sarcasm in his eyes...

I so totally I agreed on everything you have said.
I’m just going to comment about the “Boy Generation” thing.
I think its truly unfair cause in Wonder Boys they did a SNSD song while I know it should be only Wonder Girls cause of the name. now this boys generation, not only play 1 song “just” from SNSD. SNSD also performed?? Aren’t they having promotion too much? (waaa… poor Nichkhun for singing that awful song )
Now SM is using Super Junior and SHINee again.

Poor SuJu, especially SHINee..
they weren't given a chance to promote more on
their mini-album yet they have to promote others
as well..

And Hee Chul look like he's yelling it unwillingly... T_T.. I mean you can tell from the sarcasm in his eyes...

I wish it's true.. Oh wait, I know it's true.. Heenim's our hero, remember?

SM has always favorited his 9 talentless plastics over his other talented artists...
I remember CSJH The Grace has rushed their 1st album promotion. so, that shiitdae can make their Korean debut. our fanclub & CSJH's debut color was stolen by inSONES & SM sided on them. CSJH The Grace was intentionally pulled out by SM 2 days before the actual concert & give their slots to shiitdae... & now this worthless beetches gets to have a two comeback this year w/c is totally unfair to every artist SM has.

*Aplause*

OMG you're so right, you read my mind!
Poor Heechul, promoting this monsters!
And SHINee..poor guys!

All their awards are bought!

wtf,
SNSD can't even handle competition.
that proves how much they suck.
and SM had to ask SHINee and SUJU to promote them?
ultra fails (:

i totally agree with your article. i feel the same
as well. i feel like he's trying really hard to
promote these dolls. i think he should stop focusing
on them, and just focus on bringing DBSK back to
Korea. : ]]. it doesn't matter how much he tries to
promote these dolls, they're not gonna get any better.
they're pretty much helpless now. black ocean here
comes SNSD.

he also over promotes them.
they are everywhere.
some may think its a good thing,
but won't people get annoyed with it?

oh gosh
this is so true
it's obvious that SM favor them more than any other artist
despite the fact that they are talentless dolls

seriously LSM should stop spending his money on them...it's DBSK, BoA and SJ who work VERY hard to gain this money and at the end all of it is spent on ShitD.

This is true or they would have made a public apology on the behalf like the whole deal with 4 minutes and SHINEE.
I think they try waay too hard!
