The so-called "three major music giants in South Korea" refer to the three major music management companies SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Family. The three-legged situation has been formed a few years ago, but regardless of the size and number of its artists, the popularity of the singers, and the popularity of the songs, SM's leading position has always been unshakable.
The same thing is that the presidents of the three major companies are all singers, and they all named their companies after their personal names. However, the different music concepts of the three people have also created three different music trends for their artists, which are highly recognizable.
(I’ve read too much in magazines, so I have something to do tomorrow, so I’m sorry to shorten it a bit)
SM has always been called “Korea’s Dream Factory”. Since the company was founded in 1989 Since President Lee Soo Man joined the company, it has become a place where miracles are born. From H.O.T, the originator of the music industry, Shinhwa S.E.S, to later Flying Teenagers, BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, and today's new idol forces Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x)... SM company is basically invincible and has never failed. .
J.Y.P President Park Jin Young is an outstanding singer in his own right. He once made Park Ji Yoon, Rain, etc. famous, and later created powerful groups such as Wonder Girls, 2pm.2am, and Miss A.
YGEX, which was co-founded by AVEX*** recently, announced that it will officially enter the Japanese market, and 2NE1 will become its first singer to enter the Japanese market. Singer Spider, Se7en, and Big Bang are also its artists.
The SM market is mainly China and Japan, and we want to develop in Europe and the United States. J.Y.P is mainly European and American.
Personal opinion: Maybe because of Shinqi, I hear about SM very often. I also know wonder girls, 2pm.2am, miss A, Rain, and big bang, but I don’t know the company they belong to.
