It’s no secret that K-Pop has taken over global culture. Korean dramas have become major hits on Netflix, K-Pop groups like BTS and BLACKPINK are headlining Coachella and Korean skincare dominates the cosmetics industry. It’s all part of the “Hallyu” phenomenon that is sweeping the globe. But the popularity of Hallyu isn’t without controversy. A recent spat between two of the biggest K-Pop companies, Hybe and SM Entertainment, has captivated diehard fans and even casual listeners alike.

SM Entertainment, the company behind Girls’ Generation and BTS, is the largest K-Pop label in the world. But its sales represent a small sliver of the overall music market and it’s losing ground to other major global producers like Bang’s Hybe and the Atlanta-based rap and R&B label Quality Control Music. That’s why it’s no surprise that an unusually public and acrimonious corporate feud involving the two biggest K-Pop companies has captivated die-hard fans, casual listeners, artists and industry figures alike.

The clash between SM and Hybe isn’t just about money. The companies are fighting to expand their influence abroad, where 90 percent of K-Pop listeners live. But in their race to reach KDrama New

  markets, some fans fear that the companies are foregoing what made them successful at home. They worry that album covers, the artist’s fashion and the mood of concerts could change as the label tries to appeal to a global audience.

Another major aspect of the K-Pop business is training the artists that go out and perform around the world. While there are many differences between the training systems of major American and Korean labels, both involve rigorous practice and preparation. The process can last for years. Dr Keith says that the success of a K-Pop idol depends on their ability to do more than sing and dance. They have to look appealing and have a good personality. They’re also a brand in their own right, and they need to be able to market themselves well.

Despite their soaring record and streaming sales, many K-Pop artists still struggle to make ends meet. Whether due to inflation or the rising cost of living, they’re a long way from making the kind of salaries that allow them to maintain a standard of living that their fans have come to expect. That’s why it’s so heartening to see more artists and their fans speak out about the need for higher wages.
