I don’t think y’all realize that SM is in official DEEP SHIT. A report just came out saying that TVXQ’s profits (album sales, concert sales, etc) make up for almost 50% OF THE GODDAMN PROFITS. HALF YALL. FUCKING HALF OF ALL PROFITS MADE COME FROM JUNG YUNHO AND SHIM CHANGMIN.

Do you realize how crazy it is that a group that debuted before a lot of idols could even talk are STILL the number one money makers in their company. More than every other group, TVXQ is where SM gets most of their money. 

This is why SM is fucked and scared shitless because their number one money maker wont be giving them profit for 2 or more years. This is why they are so desperate to make EXO their new profit machine because they cant depend on a group that is army bound for profits anymore. People get mad at how much effort, time and money SM throws into EXO, but SM needs to have a stable flow of profit once TVXQ enlists. 50% is a huge margin y’all, way bigger when looking at actual numbers. To be honest, I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this? People call TVXQ a thing of the past but when you look at the numbers its obvious that ‘relevancy’ or ‘hype’ doesn’t compare to the dollars you bring in. People are concerned about what yg is going to do without bigbang but really we need to be asking what is SM going to do without TVXQ.

People were asking for source info about the 50% profit.

• TVXQ being the biggest Idol in SM
  
• Tohoshinki makes up half of SM’s concert profits.
  

The stats include SM artists’ concert profits from Korean, Japanese, & Asian tours. Though it is specifically for concert profits - that is also where groups make the most money as concert tickets cost a lot more than albums. Concert tickets being $80-100 or more USD each multiplied by (in the case of domes) 50,000 = a whole lot of money especially when there are multiple days at multiple domes. 

Keep in mind these stats are only about concerts - which means it doesn’t include any of the other work that they do. Who knows how much more they bring into SM with everything else included.
