Talk:Entertainment Agency

Looking over this article, I'm unsure how relevant it is to Fanlore. Aside from the page beside short as-is, there's not much information on this page that's particularly fannish- linking to the Wikipedia article on talent agencies and such may be a better solution.

I think it can be potentially can be made fannish, but I agree so far it isn't. But it is essentially K-Pop equivalent of The Powers That Be, so there might be some merit to it having an article if improved? Else articles on the individual companies. Some ideas -

• Company stans - people who are fans of specific companies
  • Why do kpop fans have the habit of “stanning” a company ? (Reddit meta/discussion)
  • I never understood why company stans are even a thing in K-Pop. (Reddit meta/discussion)
  • Company stans are worse than Solo Stans (Reddit meta/discussion)
• Fans vs Companies
  • Various fan boycotts - e.g. against Blockberry Creative (LOONA), against SM Entertainment (RIIZE)
  • There is a trend in South Korean when fans are annoyed at companies to send 'protest trucks', e.g EXO --Fitz (talk) 21:58, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Kpop offices of certain big companies have also become a bit of a tourist destination especially for international fans, and I found this fanwork: https://youtube.com/shorts/AZqhwQ6F8Xs?si=EJ386SY2IIUqQaVf which I thought might go on this page some time in the future. (edit: slightly irrelevant statment follows) Big three / big four are somewhat fan-given titles rather than a formal designation in my understanding.

Looks like discussion here is already on track on how to improve the page to be more related to fandom, so I've just placed a "needs more fandom" tag on it and will remove the attention gardeners tag. Patchlamb (talk) 19:04, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
