SM Entertainment's plans for 2nd half of 2013, f(x) to comeback soon?

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

SM Entertainment hasn't been fazed at all when their quarterly earnings fell short of last year's, because they have a lot to look forward to.

Back then, the label had said, "There are various big concerts that will be factored in the 2nd quarter, such as Girls' Generation's Japanese tour, TVXQ's Japanese Dome tour, and SM Town Live. EXO is also going to start promoting actively in Korea and China. The artists' various promotions will spring on a new momentum."

But it looks like concerts won't be the end of it! An analyst from Korea Investment Holdings hinted at some of SM Entertainment's plans for the 2nd half of 2013. He stated, "f(x) is going to release their full album in June or July. SHINee is also planning a mini album scheduled to be released in the second half of the year. There's also a possibility that a new artist will debut in the second half of the year as well."

This along with the rumors of a potential TaeTiSeo comeback should excite SM Entertainment fans for the rest of 2013!

FINALLY FX GETS A COMEBACK!!!!! On the other hand poor SHINee I'm suprised they haven't collapsed from exhaustion yet

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

ikr ;; and they gave us a show and everything, I hope this comeback finally comes w. a fanbase name & maybe a concert for them ;u;
ikr, shinee bbs needs a break but lbr that ain't happening till their contracts are over

[achan123.livejournal.com]

f(x) will follow SHINee's route obviously and release their comeback at the end of their variety show. hope its good though, and not just electric shock 2.0

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

elec. shock is amazing tho

[unbroken-glass.livejournal.com]

UGH F U SM WHERE'S MY SUJU COMEBACK?! /krais

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

omg yess

[pepper.livejournal.com]

Fuck yes, f(x) comeback!

[jessicamariek.livejournal.com]

I swear, one minute SM is showering us with glorious surprises like Henry's solo, and the next they're breaking promises left and right. Yeah, we got Trap, but no KRY album. No sign of that rumored Kyuhyun collab with Joosuc. Delayed comebacks, cheap money-grabbing maneuvers... I never know what to think or believe when it comes to SM.

Ugh, this. All this. They're so hot-and-cold that it's hard to figure out if they have a plan, or just a dartboard with names and/or pictures on it.

[jessicamariek.livejournal.com]

Hell yes to more f(x)! And the tease of more SMTown (um, can has US date please?) makes me happy too.

[4rang.livejournal.com]

I assume Amazing f(x) will lead into a comeback for the girls. An earlier article stated late July being likely, which should be around the time their variety show comes to an end. Happy to have some sort of confirmation that it's a full album. I would love a repackage, but SM hasn't been as consistent with repackages this past year or two so who knows.

Ugh, a new debut. :\ Every time I see a mention of a new debut from SM I want to headdesk, then fret that it's going to be a new girl group and that the f(x) bbs will be even more neglected. SM already has so many acts and so much underutilized talent, they really would be better off learning how to better manage their current roster rather than adding to it and half assing everything.

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

I don't want a new debut either so i fully share your sentiments about that

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

Yes to SMtown World Tour. Especially if it's in the States. I haven't seen BoA in over a year and I NEED to see Only One live so I can shake and cry and such. I'd take her solo concert coming over, but that's a snowball's chance in hell, which makes me sad because that would be the greatest thing ever for me.

I am sad I cannot see TVXQ due to timing issues, but hope the GG tour stops in Cali. LA is likely, but I would love San Fran so Jessica can come home.

[shin-ah-mi.livejournal.com]

where is TVXQ 10th year anniversary come back????????????????????????????

[rylee900.livejournal.com]

Yeah this :/

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

So no comeback for SNSD? Does that mean the rumoured US debut might be happening?

Happy for F(x) though. And a new artist, good luck with that in the current environment.

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

I feel like they did their once a year comeback already with IGAB so probably a bunch of side work until '14.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

jkdhsdjkagjsd FX COMEBACK ;A; NOW GIMME MY FAN-NAME U FOKN SM ENT! TAT

my first reaction to shinee was YAY! *A*...and then i thought of their busy schedule ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~; /fangirl-problems

[age-ofconsent.livejournal.com]

mildly interested in the tts comeback

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

I assumed f(x) was coming back soon. I thought Amazing f(x) was supposed to be promo for them.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

yes to everything except the debut

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

After the fucking amazing Electric Shock mini, I am SO HERE for f(x)'s comeback. They're undoubtedly next.

SM has been pushing Taemin like no other this year, so I'm not surprised that Shinee has more music in store, hopefully the title song / choreo is even more epic than Dream Girl

As for the new debut... hmmmm I doubt it, SM has A LOT on their plate, way more than any other company, and they're actually doing a decent job with most of them for once. It would be a shame to screw that up. I say they give EXO another year as the newbies

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I wonder what Taemin did to make them push him like crazy. I love it but I just wondered what the boy did that he become SM's new favorite boy.

And I'm I the only one here who like Why So Serious more than Dream Girl? I mean, that song is all about screaming but it strangely make you addicted to it. :O

[sacryde.livejournal.com]

If the debut is Jino (like it should have been instead of Henry) I will cry tears of joy.

Excited for f(x) comeback and kinda wish they would give SHINee some time to breathe but at the same time it just shows that they're gaining popularity because they only promote the hell out of their best selling acts.

Also, I'm confused. Why is EXO going to promote in China? Isn't that what EXO-M is for? o_O;; Like, what are they going to do, cover their songs in Chinese? But they kinda already have, only with the other half....

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

"Also, I'm confused. Why is EXO going to promote in China? Isn't that what EXO-M is for?"

mte

But yeah they're going to promote in China after Korea with Wolf (OT12 Chinese version). After that I think they'll finally promote as separate units.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

Poor SHINee, oh my god D: I hope they'll get the most fabulous vacation afterwards.
And yay f(x). I was never into their concept and music but it'll be nice to see them on stage again anyway.

[lullabai.livejournal.com]

The only reason I would like a debut is for Jino but I don't even know if he's still a trainee in SM, but that's the only reason, I wouldn't like a girl group right now.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

He was still a trainee as of March, haven't heard word since then.

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

fuck this, give me that zhang liyin comeback that's been rumoured since february.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

I liked electric shock but I would love to have more songs like mr boogie and lachata, so I hope they go for something like that.

So there are rumors for TTS, GG, EXO and TVXQ albums the second part of the year, I would like to see that happen

[tag-traumer.livejournal.com]

sobs. ikr. ;______;
