Facts about SM Entertainment..?

Okay - here's how the whole story goes... Lee Soo Man is the head producer - he's basically in charge of everything that goes on in SM... (SM used to stand for Soo Man but it's something else now..I forget...Star something...) He's like..completely horrible!

I mean, personally, I have nothing against SM the label, it's more like..the people who run it.

There's a saying in Korea that states: "If you don't make it with SM then you can't make it anywhere." It's actually half true. The reason Shinhwa broke away from SM is that they couldn't stand not being able to participate in recording their album (like writing songs, being more active in the whole process, not being controlled), and the only reason why they're still doing fine is that their fanbase is HUGE and the fans are VERY supportive of their split from SM. Shinhwa was fed up with their songs being controlled, and fed up with being hit and bullied by SM managers. -__-;;

As for HOT not getting back together, it's really crappy. Moon HeeJun from HOT went solo, as you may know, and after his first album, they withdrew funding from him and decided to focus on the "hotter, newer stars" like DBSK and BoA. Basically, he was left on the back burner and left to fend for himself. He released his later albums from money in his own pocket and donations from loyal fans. Awww...

Basically, when you get old/get less popular in SM, they just leave you to rot. They'll discard you like an old sock.

SM controls your life - when you sign on, you're basically signing away your soul. When DBSK was first formed, Soo Man gave the order to put the boys on a water diet (they basically starved the boys to the extreme) to make their faces slimmer so that they look better in pictures. They often try to get artists to get plastic surgery in order to boost their appearances. No joke. SM goes for looks first, then talent. (They got lucky with DBSK - looks AND talent.)

Rumor has it (and I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed, at least, according to my sources...) that SM hits/beats their artists whenever they make a mistake, and often they are driven to sickness by exhaustion and fatigue. Remember when Micky/Yoochun was in the hospital with apendicitis? Yah..there you go...

The probably only exception to the abuse is BoA, SM's favored artist, of whom I've heard indirectly from her coordinators that she's really stuck-up and and really bossy. Hence, I do not like her (I never did.) - sorry BoA fans! (By all means keep liking her if you do!)

When the whole scare that DBSK was going to be rotated came around (meaning winter-spring time this year), did you see the members cry at the perf.s and such? Well, I believe they were screamed at, then hit around, and they were banned from going to any press conferences. They were split up (put into different rooms and such) and they weren't allowed to discuss anything regarding it. I believe if they were going to rotate, they had announced that Jaejoong and Yoochun would be the first to leave because they "cause so much trouble".

If the fans did not stage the boycott of SM goods, I believe they really would have rotated DBSK. Plus the fact that Changmin is still a minor and their parents can still sue SM under their contract.

So...if SM is so horrible..why would you sign on under it?

Because, it gives you FAME. SM is RUTHLESS when it comes to making it to the top, and you are almost guaranteed some sort of fame. Secondly, THEY PAY FOR YOUR COLLEGE. They give you all these opportunities that are probably pretty good.

...I believe (I remember reading this) an average SM group like DBSK makes around 3 CENTS or something per album/single they sell. That split 5 ways is less than 1 cent per member. Yah - in the end, it may add up, but really, SM just sucks out the profit. It's a money making machine in the entertainment business. SOO MAN TAKES MOST OF THE PROFITS HIMSELF - HE IS LIKE...ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN KOREA.

Basically...Lee Soo Man is running this company that controls everything that goes on in their artists' lives. Although he's NOT THE PRESIDENT, he has the MOST POWER. Don't ask me how that works...I'm not sure... -__-;;; Even the president resigned this year due to everything that's been going on. Basically...I CAN'T STAND LEE SOO MAN. He deserves...really bad things to happen to him. -__-;;;



I don't know if this is true or rumors.
But based on the facts given, I do feel there are true things in it.
Read the whole discussion about it here.

  1. I seriously doubt that they get 3 cents. That's not even logical; it's a stupid rumor. -.- That's no where near realistic, I mean it would be quite obvious that they wouldn't be under SM anymore, and they'd sue.

  4. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY?! How fucked up is this? O.o?!

    If SM is really like that then you wont be seeing any entertainers like SNSD and SHINee or even SuJu anymore. What makes you think that SM hits their artist when they make mistakes? Sure, they go working hard to entertain the hell out of the fucking you but SM pretty much value their artist. If it wasn't for the artist, Lee Soo Man won't get rich. Rumors comes from haters themselves. And mind you, SM only focuses to their new stars like EXO because they need them(EXO) to make it a huge hit in the Kpop industry. They don't neglect their artists. Like hello? Why would SHINee make their comeback? I mean, if you really are dumb enough to hate the entertainment for throwing your idols out of their windows just because they didnt made it? Then, go and kill yourself. Nobody wants to get bullied. SM Artists are also humans -_- and the blog background gave me cancer

    BITCH PLEASES ;*

    1. As they said, “If you are not strong enough better don't be a trainee” Yes, if you wanna be SM idols, you must be strong for any challenges that will come. Being a trained is not something fun but if you really dream about it you will never give up and I'm sure you will a successful idol. You need to be perfect [altho nobody is perfect] if you wanna be an idol, you don't want anyone to hate on you tho ? Okay example, you know how to dance but not singing ,you sure will be bash by many people. That's why SM tried to make their idols to become perfect although in a rough way. If they didn't do it with their 'rough' way, their idols must not do what they asked for and they will do anything they like. Hope this comment help. Stop hating SM.
