so here's my meta on 5m entertainment I don't want to be that person but sh1nee are literally the slaves of 5m and now the entire kpop industry minus YG I think (they have Bigbang). this is my theory only but I believe 5m wanted a "perfect slave" an ideal mould an archetype on the image of which they would generate more clones for what 5m thinks an idol should be "Hardworking, submissive and scandal free" they first tried to achieve that with TVXQ and jaejoong in particular he used to be 5m's fav boy back then but they were rebelllious and got into scandals which tarnished their perfect image so they dropped them and shifted towards sh1nee. Sh1nee are the perfect mould of what an industry slave is like the perfect scapegoat to be experimented upon (ever wondered why they were called an experimental group?) they are hardworking scandal free and submissive even after jjong's death they remain submissive to 5m any other group would have left 5m at the very least after what happened but they've only become the source of tragedy porn for kpop fans now and they are the perfect "role models" for future industry slaves like enpipen and t+t this is also the reason why I think 5m loves T@emin he provided them a perfect opportunity for achieving that industry slave/role model archetype they were looking for in jaejoong. A young, shy naturally submissive and hardworking boy with an "actively avoiding getting into scandals personality type" he's the perfect slave the dream boy for a capitalist industry like kpop the perfect subject to be exploited and experimented upon since he ain't even gonna complain about being overworked because of his own workaholism. that's why they keep pushing that "idol of idols" and "role model" persona on him same stuff they used to do with Britney in her earlier years before she began to rebel they all use the same tactics everywhere there's always either the "good religious, young subject who has an innocent image mixed with adult sensuality" (Britney, Ta@min, Bieber, MJ) and the bad rebellious scandalous subject (Madonna, Christina, Gaga, GD, ). and the underappreciated scapegoat who's sacrificed for their agendas (Jjong, Prince, Whitney, ).
