[OPINION] 110410 ‘JYJ from TVXQ’ have narrowly escaped from a grip of United Asia Management
Since yesterday, the hottest issue around entertainment industry has been the creation of UMA (United Asia Management) which will be jointly invested by several giant management companies, thus various speculations are circulating as to the far reaching effect of it.
First of all, this news has been receiving very cold responses from general public,like: (1) It is a suspicious move to prevent activities of their blacklisted artists even outside Korea; (2) Kpop market would eventually go down due to its regressing quality of stereotype music fostered by catching up patterns of united management; (3) People are not to tolerate UAM products as if there still is any patience left after having been forced to put up with all the products of giant idol management companies long enough; (4) It is a typical strategy of market monopoly which doesn’t allow any other portal, rather than themselves, of Hallyu wave.
There is also an opinion that it could be a dirty tactics of SM wanting to restrain JYJ’s oversea activity. However, such an interpretation is likely off the essence, especially if we consider that JYJ, already on the road of world wide artists, are backed up by undeniable popularity and fandom, both of which are not within the reach of any particular agency’s interference oversea. JYJ ticketing powers in Japan and Taiwan during the past few days is a good example. It is needless to mention that the amazing ticketing power and press interest at the first world tour concerts in Thailand, which was held right after a huge joint concert by a whole bunch of Kpop groups, are valid proofs that their popularity is still undying and fans are as loyal as ever.
