it almost never works out for idols that walk out of a big 3 label - even if you sign with a smaller niche company that will focus solely on you the exposure and pr opportunities that the SM name alone gets you in korea simply can’t be compared
Well sure but many idols know this. Ten for example was never going to be prioritized due to being a foreigner so leaving and finding a team that genuinely cares and believes in him is 100% better than staying at SM where he will always be shafted.
It’s a gamble but it’s a lot easier to succeed when you aren’t fighting an uphill battle with people who are supposed to be helping you
