[news] SM Stock Price Rises Sharply with SHINee's Japanese Debut

(A/N: SM stocks closed at 20,150 today and its up 6.61% – the highest growth rate this year. News sites are calling this the "SHINee Effect'.

SHINee’s debut album sales hit oricon charts at 2nd place upon release, beating out big-name Japanese artists such as AAA, T.M. Revolution, GReeeeN, and Dir En Grey, who also released their singles on the same day. 120,000 copies of the debut single were made for the first shipments, which means its marketing is made through Youtube. It has a positive effect on SM Entertainment’s sales.

[from SBSCNBC]

SM Entertainment stocks are showing strong as the visible results of “New Korean Wave” are confirmed.

In the Kosdaq market on June 24, SM stocks are being traded at 19,400 Won (currently 9:13 a.m.), 2.65% up from the previous day.

Daewoo Securities presented SM’s stock goal price as 30,000 Won with a comment that SM artists are making good sales overseas.

[from Yonhap News]

SHINee, having overtaken Super Junior's first-week record (59,262) with 68,685 copies sold in only 2 days, are well on their way to setting records for kpop groups in Japan as they have already surpassed the highest first week sales for any kpop group's debut.

Stay tuned for the rest of the week as the boys are definitely setting the bar high for future kpop acts to come.

flawless gif

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

well of course, what did anybody expect? They could only be flawless.

I lol at the fact, that it's all kept in the company. Out of all the Kpop groups to debut in Japan, they beat out Suju, who I'm pretty sure didn't actually even debut in Japan, or am I wrong?

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

I'm still confused as to how Suju's single was not actually a debut. I thought the song was in Japanese? I haven't heard it so . . .

[sungiebot.livejournal.com]

lol i have the stupidest smile on, ever. so proud of them :')

[minniecouture.livejournal.com]

yayyyyy~ i'm so proud of these boys :'D

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

I love this gif. :)

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

woot go shinee!

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

in that case just stay in japan sme, korea is pretty much useless for you now. shinee is selling in one week what they sell in a month.

[mumuja.livejournal.com]

Hope they are getting paid what they deserve, its only fair since they're making sme so much money. No more slave paychecks -_-

and paid vacations are always welcomed, go shinee! :)

[sungiebot.livejournal.com]

do people seriously still believe this "slave" crap?

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

"as they have already surpassed the highest sales of first week of sales for any kpop debut."

This needs to be edited to read "kpop IDOL GROUP debut" because Jang Geun Suk sold more and they're not going to beat his record at this rate.

Still, I'm impressed by their sales. Hopefully the single won't completely fall of the charts in the next week, but even if it does they have a great foundation now for future singles. Sales like that combined with the existing Kpop hype could get them on Music Station and other big shows which will be key.

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

edited, thanks for pointing that out!

[eleanaleone.livejournal.com]

next dbsk.
sm piggyback riders =+=
but congrats to the boys!

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

I really hope history does not repeat itself in that sense, what SME paid DBSK was PITIFUL ;___;

*parties*

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

Heard they are releasing the Japanese version of Romeo in July, I secretly hope they still release a new Korean album/ single by the end of this year though.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

Highly unlikely for anything to pop up in July unless they're going to release it as a digital download first with a physical release later. You get at least a 2-3 months notice for Japan releases.

I can't imagine why they would go the digital first route as they've proven they can move a lot of physical copies and while they did way better than most kpop groups on the digital charts, they fell off the top after two or three days.

I miss this gif.

[ghina93.livejournal.com]

So proud of them but ugh I'm seriously getting paranoid now. DNW TOHO DRAMA V.2

[cher-ex3.livejournal.com]

MTE.

[a-life-defiant.livejournal.com]

$HINee.

paper. they are making it like crazy.

can't say I'm uber surprised though.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

the title makes it sound like sme's boost in stocks is due to shinee's successful japanese debut when none of the articles actually single them out as the reason.

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

Except SBS's article did, lol

[stillwaiting.livejournal.com]

Just wait for SuJu to be back. Their 5th jib and SS4 will bring the money again.

But yay for SHINee I guess.....

[linnhe.livejournal.com]

such a subtle complisult~
