Another SM Artist Leaves the Stable?
Another SM Artist Leaves the Stable?
After the month of November passed, k-pop fans breathed a sigh of relief. All of the controversy, gossip and scandal that had occurred in the latter part of 2009 was enough to make you want to push the clock forward permanently. Well, it’s December, and things aren’t looking much better.
Han Geng (Hankyung), Chinese member of 50 member boyband Super Junior, and sub group Super Junior M, Hankyung has submitted papers to Seoul’s Central Court to void his exclusive contract with SM company. Of course we have no details as to what the documents obtain as of yet, but netizens are an inquisitive and investigative sort – the particulars will see the light soon.
Some rumours imply, with Hankyung essentially the face of Super Junior in China, he stands to acquire a more profitable career solo, and that he may be shooting towards a career in drama.
Super Junior member Kyuhyun recently closed down his Cyworld after leaving a cryptic message, appearing to side with SM on the matter: “Even a beast does not bite the hand that feeds one…I can not understand…”
SM’s reputation has taken a hit with the DBSK lawsuit, and following the shocking occurrence, could this be initiating a kind of domino effect? The money bags are stepping out of line, and though the fans are devastated, ultimately any upheaval will only benefit these entertainers in the long run. As the Korean entertainment industry expands and evolves, change is sometimes unexpected but always inevitable.
In the end, it is no myth that idol groups typically have a short shelf life, and in many instances, for an idol, are the springboards to an even greater career. To some it may seem selfish, but Hankyung is looking out for number one, and sometimes that is all you can do to get by in this world.
