1. [+809, -29] Honestly, the current SM is made by Yoo Young Jin, HOT, and BoA in that order... Yoo Young Jin is still a major composer under SM too.

2. [+711, -28] HOT and Yoo Young Jin set up the foundation for SM and BoA's Japanese advancement helped them with a surge in growth

3. [+463, -28] When she was doing the random play dances, my own body just started following along... it remembered everything

4. [+18, -13] Her new album's a total flop. Her career as a singer seems over. I think it's because she spent her peak years in Japan and spent a 5 year hiatus in Korea. Ever since she came back to Korea, each of her albums have been flops..

5. [+17, -4] The only male groups to have failed under SM: Blackbeat, NCT

6. [+16, -2] Yoo Young Jin doesn't just compose music but passes on his vocal DNA too. He's trained kids like Kim Junsu and KangTa and you can't hide his DNA in their vocal styles.

7. [+13, -2] She's right ㅎ She really kept SM afloat and suffered so much to put food on the table. She didn't make it this far just doing nothing and I find her so amazing!!

8. [+11, -0] I can't believe Yoo Young Jin is still a major composer under SM. Most of HOT's hit songs were written by him. Just wow.

9. [+10, -4] Hyun Jin Young put down the foundation, HOT built up the pillars, and BoA put the roof over the final construction

10. [+7, -2] Before SM became known for creating back to back hits all the time, BoA had to make up for all the times they were in the red. She may technically be #3 but I doubt #1 or #2 or even Lee Soo Man could treat her any less.
