SM's biased treatment between aespa and Red Velvet: No wonder the seniors are inferior to TWICE, BLACKPINK

The management company is biased, favoring aespa too much, making fans angry.

Dance practice - dance practice videos - is always considered a default "attachment" for every comeback product of K-pop groups.

Despite being a talented group, Red Velvet doesn't seem to be actively promoted by SM, most notably through dance practice. Since debut until now, through 20 promotions, but Red Velvet only has... 5 dance practice clips.

Specifically, from the whole group to the sub-unit, practice and dance performance, Red Velvet only has 5 products: Rookie, Umpah Umpah, Naughty, Psycho, Look. It is worth mentioning that many pictures of Red Velvet filming dance practice have been "leaked" by the crew, but in the end, SM still refused to release the official product.

Netizens couldn't help but compare Red Velvet with aespa juniors. The aespa group has only debuted for more than 1 year with 3 main music products, but there are countless content related to dance practice, dance performance videos. With each song, SM always releases more than 1 dance practice product. The difference in the number of dance practice videos between Red Velvet and aespa is seen as proof that SM doesn't take Red Velvet seriously and lacks interest in the group compared to their juniors. With SM's superficial treatment like that, Red Velvet still rose to the top 3 most popular Kpop girl groups in Gen 3 - what a "miracle"!

Netizen's comment on this issue:

- I guess Red Velvet told the company not to post it, let the fans focus on working on the MV.

- A question that never has an answer: Why does Red Velvet rarely dance practice?

- aespa has only debuted for 1 year and there are more dance practice clips than Red Velvet.

- Sometimes, with SM's promotion, Red Velvet's popularity like today is amazing.

- Really pushing like this has nothing to do with other groups like TWICE and BLACKPINK at the same time. The ability is much better, but the reputation is behind because of that.

- Following the SM system for decades. Luckily, Red Velvet was able to turn it on, but it didn't go to the chicken coop. Not promoted properly, the music is faint but also full of experimentation.

-SM doesn't post girl group dance practices (except for aespa). Other houses always release videos, not to mention this and that, and Red Velvet freezes them all.

- Red Velvet's content is less real, losing to other mid-range companies, looking at other groups is interesting. Fan interaction is not always low. aespa is a bit better, has a lot of dance practice, but the content is still less compared to gen 4.

This is not the first time SM has been criticized for showing obvious favoritism to an individual or group within the company. Recently, on the Pann forum, there was a post mentioning that two female idols, Yeri (Red Velvet) and Sunny (SNSD) were selected and debuted by SM Entertainment while their abilities seem a bit low compared with her sisters.

Specifically, the owner of the post expressed his opinion that SM was somewhat biased towards Sunny and Yeri. Sunny is a member who is always criticized by the online community for her beauty because she does not have outstanding height, beautiful appearance like a goddess or a terrible voice like some other members. Sunny's most outstanding ability is probably being an MC for radio stations and her eloquence when participating in TV shows. In addition, the fact that Sunny is the granddaughter of CEO Lee Soo Man makes many people suspect that she is a priority for SM.

As for Yeri, everyone knows that Red Velvet's original lineup consisted of only 4 members. However, when it came to the comeback with "Ice Cream Cake", Yeri was suddenly added to the group, surprising the fan community. There are fans calling for a boycott of Yeri because they are used to the group's 4-member image. As time went on, Kpop fans gradually accepted Yeri as a "piece" of Red Velvet. However, there are still fans who only support 4 members because they think that Yeri is young, her position in the group is quite blurred in both appearance and skills. Not to mention that there are always bad rumors surrounding Yeri that the female idol has a great family, using her power and sponsorship to debut with Red Velvet.

Jennie has Jisoo (BLACKPINK) as the main vocal, Momo (TWICE) just needs to dance and split the line, is that okay?
