SM Entertainment works to repair their relationship with Mnet Media

[t-domination.livejournal.com]

SM Entertainment and Mnet Media have been known for their tumultuous relationship ever since SME raised questions of standards against Mnet during SNSD’s “Gee” promotions.

Since then, SME stopped supplying their artists’ songs to the company, and have boycotted all of Mnet’s events such as the “2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards.” Songs from Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x) and other SM Entertainment artists are still not available through the Mnet site.

Yet the recent release of TVXQ’s “Keep Your Head Down” has raised questions regarding their relationship once more, but this time in a positive light. Mnet was the first music site allowed to distribute the song, leading many to speculate the two to be making up and moving on from past controversies.

On January 3rd, SM Entertainment representatives revealed, “We have been persistently working together on resolving the past conflicts regarding with our music distribution and have been met with positive results, leading for us to release TVXQ’s new song to them. We will soon be supplying our other artists’ songs to Mnet in the future.”

Can they please have special performances again, where they allow SM artists to perform songs that are not their promoted singles? I really want another SHINee Romantic live, except with their new/old songs.

And more reality shows. plz plz.

All the Mnet variety shows they got were what I missed most forreal. MBCevery1 can't be doing it forever; shows get cancelled easier just because of ratings.

lol sm repairs relationships with everyone when TVXQ makes a comeback

About time.

[meccamputech.livejournal.com]

OMG FINALLY

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

mnet mcountdown is not much of a loss though. their stages and their sound systems are horrible compared to the other three stations.

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

but mnet mcountdown isn't the only thing mnet has.

[pandapples33.livejournal.com]

idk, but it's not like sme artists need any of mnet's shows. snsd, shinee, suju, etc. continued to have hits everywhere else without m!countdown, but i guess it'd be good for homin to be able to perform on all 4 music shows and get more support for their comeback.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

They indeed don't need MNET for their musical career. For 2 years SM is still dominating even without the help from MNET.
But f(x) really needs a more adequate variety show. MNET makes the best idol shows like Wild Bunny, Girls Go To School, Factory Girl, 2ne1TV, etc.

the power of the homin~!

[mingobus.livejournal.com]

I hope this stays. All my fav SNSD shows were produced by mnet :O

[letseaticecream.livejournal.com]

This is what I want most, actually. Could care less about M.Countdown

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

This must be listed in their new year resolutions.

But then there will be no award show not dominated by SM acts.

[albeitalways.livejournal.com]

this. while most ppl would say mnet is yg-biased w/o sm, i think mnet actually gives a chance to other groups esp. rookies like for example beast, this was their first win before soom, or t-ara, miss a etc.

[orenji13.livejournal.com]

LOL, this is the reason why DBSK is THE GODS.
Everytime they make their comeback, all TV station succumbs to them. KBS, SBS, MNet MBC suddenly had no bad relationship with SME when the gods are back.

[dipropylene]

About fucking time. I wanna buy my music from one place and that happens to be Mnet.

[albeitalways.livejournal.com]

omg. snsd needs to get a new variety show from mnet asap. (but not after an adequate rest from all those year end award shows.)

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

omgg PUHLEEZ make it work SM. i miss mnet's variety shows

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

I hope they go on mnet countdown. For who watches it on tv it might suck, but for who is in Korea is at good as it gets because it's the only show that is first come first serve entrance on a weekday, so you can easily get in without competing against schoolgirls.
Only show I've been able to attend, I'd die if they were to go on it

[sjuminuter.livejournal.com]

not sure if i like this

[visual-jaeho.livejournal.com]

LOL THIS IS PURPLE LINE ALL OVER AGAIN XD
