I see right now there are many celebrities who want to make their coins and some even make their own coins.
For example Manny Pacquiao. The coin has been released but has no impact.

So I don't think news from SM entertainment will have a major impact.
As I know, SM Entertainment is not the first company to have proposed the use of blockchain technology in the K-pop industry.

Yes, Manny Pacquiao's crypto has no major impact, even if he's a worldwide celebrity. Because the problem is that the fanbase is not really there.
I did a little digging and apparently SM Entertainment is the very first one to take the bullet.

~snip -...like even I got caught into songs from Black Pink.

Also if this is the case and if they ever make their own currencies I would invest and the last coin I have invested in ICO was waves 3 years ago because lets be honest , K-Pop are at the beginning of the road. Asians were always one step ahead from Europe in my opinion.

Well, same here I like BlackPink too.
I probably look into it too. I'll be monitoring the progress they're making. So are you saying that Asians tend to take risks first then EU follows?

1) The problem I see here is that these celebrities don't have a clue about what's going on here...

2) We have seen quite a few celebrities enter the crypto sphere already, and they haven't contributed to anything but their own wallet. People need to stop following celebrities like blind sheeps. They're not here for you.

3) If celebrities really cared about the fundamentals of crypto, they would finance development, set up businesses utilizing crypto, etc. None of that is the case so it makes more sense to warn people against them.

1) Well, I think the problem is you misunderstood everything.
2) It's clearly stated that, it's the K-POP company owners.... The decision is by the company they belonged to, SM Enterntainment, and not the K-POP groups/celebreties themselves. If we're talking about the company here, they sure know what they're doing. There are a lot of planning and preparations on their side before its even been known to public. The K-POP groups are probably going to be the intermediaries to this "project". And please, let's not talk about the Entertainment industry, that's a very big network. And the possibilities of other platforms like music streaming platforms, or even concert tickets and such.
3) Seriously! That's the plan!

K-Pop is a massive industry in itself, which surely has its own ordeals. While this doesn't come in as a major surprise, it feels a bit late if we have a look at all the other parallel industries coming into the blockchain/crypto buzz.

I think they come in just in time. Considering back then, K-POP Fanbase is mostly East, specifically Asia. But now K-POP is a worldwide phenomenon, the fanbase is crazy large. So them releasing this "project" now(?) is better rather than earlier.
