SM Entertainment Stock Drama: Feb 22, 2023 UPDATES

Well, we're in good news, bad news land right now. In bad news, there has been lots of back and forth and most of it is confusing for the average kpop fan. In good news, it basically doesn't mean anything.

I'm making this update right now not because there have been major developments, but because if I don't I will absolutely forget something and then people will be like "what does THIS mean" and I'll be like "that was two days ago, keep up" but then I won't have helped them keep up and it'll be a whole mess on top of this mess.

Big shouts to TMIKpop on twitter.

Usual disclaimer: Not a finance professional. Not a lawyer. Not Korean. Much of this content I read using google translate. Personal speculation is in bold.

Parts 1-3 (the backstory)
Part 4 (the Hybe acquisition)
Part 5 (the mudslinging)

( Part 6: The court and public opinion. All rise! )

And that's all the updates through Wednesday February 22, at 4pm MST.

UPDATE: Part 7: The SM Stock Multiverse. Madness!
