snds does pretty cheap vids...
but w/e :D

[heeliciouss.livejournal.com]

MY GIRLS ONLY DESERVE THE BEST!!

[itendtoflail.livejournal.com]

I think SM's Cheapest vids just go to SNSD and sometimes SJ too. There's so many people they probably don't care to add a story or details, just try to make sure everyone gets at least 5 seconds of face time and focus on the choreo.

BEG I think have the highest impressiveness:cost ratio.

And I bet DSP spends as much on the mvs as I did on this poptart I'm eating *munch

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

IA, 2NE1 never goes below 150,000 but BEG's are more visually stunning.

[katiewenchh.livejournal.com]

2ne1 does have sick videos

[x-undercover-x.livejournal.com]

SNSD deserve more and better. I mean, shouldn't a nine girls group have a bigger and better budget? /butthurt

[faramis.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't the budget be based on talent?

[luvey.livejournal.com]

i wanna know how much SME spends comparing each SME group

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

this

[perfume.livejournal.com]

Woah, Sign was that much?

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

it definitely looked expensive. too bad the song kinda sucks.

[kishikiari.livejournal.com]

good videos cost money sm

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Their budgets are quite low compared to some Japanese artists :/

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

It's nice to know BEG's company spends so much on them even though they're not one of the top 3.

2NE1! Their videos are always must-see

[pandapples33.livejournal.com]

beg/narsha/gain have the best mvs and the group that brings in the most cash has the cheapest budget /butthurt soshi stan

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

holy shit at sign being that much. I mean I liked the MV, but didn't know it was that much. And I'm not surprised my SM spending the least here. snsd MVs are pretty cheap. my bbs deserve better.

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

2NE1's MVs are awesome looking. SNSD deserves better, and BEG's MVs are my favourites.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

Agree with snsd deserving better and I really like BEG's MVs as well.

[tamirisns.livejournal.com]

not surprised 2ne1 was the most expensive since they are the most fashionable of them;

[silvaesedai.livejournal.com]

If SNSD can rule kpop for a year with a $50K music video, what incentive does SME have to spend more? People who are trying to garner attention splurge on MVs, not people who already have it.

[pandapples33.livejournal.com]

ditto to your comment & lol @ your icon♥

[itangeisha.livejournal.com]

ofc, 2ne1 has damn fucking great mvs. from clothes to lights. and i'm not biased saying this.

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

well ofcourse papa YG treats his babies good and well with the best videos

[sandra-hall.livejournal.com]

I think it's the cars

[askbask.livejournal.com]

All SM videos are the same, no matter the artist: Dance in front of something, dance in front of something else, done. They're clean, but unexciting.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

and it is always the same set in different colors

[tribuo-venerati.livejournal.com]

No surprise since it's obvious that SM has a very tight budget for its music videos.

[jo-hyuksu.livejournal.com]

if gee cost $50,000 i feel like bonamana probably cost $10,000. -.-

[clybelle.livejournal.com]

imo, even though i like the song snsd comes out with, their mv's aren't ones that i would watch over and over again compared to 2ne1's & beg's.

[5h0rtyy.livejournal.com]

not surprised, YG love his babies & they deserve only the best <3

[megasourwarhead.livejournal.com]

Yeah he always goes all out on videos, I love that about YG.
Their videos never disappoint :D

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I am sure their new stop motion cameras add about a $1000 to the SM price

[lapetite-indigo.livejournal.com]

and SM is getting their money's worth by using it in EVERY single video

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

I Don't Care is one of my favorite k-pop videos.

Agreed about all SM videos essentially being the same. SNSD deserves better, I wish they'd change it up.

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

although... i have watched the video for oh! a number of times. that shit is colorful adorable and irresistible.
