I know this is an unpopular opinion. I’m not an SM stan and I don’t stan any group under them but I seriously believe they will continue promotions for their older groups and soloists too(after a while).
It’s no secret that SM has been left behind in certain markets (US, Europe, SEA(mostly YG) and Japan) but are still top 4 in them.
They have Previously had the habit of dropping groups after a certain period but this might change with SM 3.0 especially with aespa.
Aespa had a good year last year, and even if they are still lagging behind in the west, they’re juggernauts in other key markets especially China and Korea. Even their solos did amazing.
I don’t see the new sm just dropping them. I see more solos and group events for multiple years to come regardless of newly debuted groups.
I’m sure they’re seeing the kind of money you can make from sustaining successful groups like BTS (even the solos are huge successes roughly 10 million albums and three world tours), Straykids and Twice, and blackpink as a group. You can sustain them while still having other successful groups in the company.
