SM Cruel...

"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. -__-;;;


To put it in lamen terms...

Although on paper KimKyungWook is the president,
the person that makes all the decisions is LeeSooMan.

The reason,

SM has done a lot of illegal things.
And if those acts are caught, someone needs to be blamed.

So LeeSooMan screws up,
and KimKyungWook takes the blame.

If you look at it KimKyungWoo is a slave too. An SM slave.

I honestly don't believe this. Yes, SM does work the idols a little too hard but not like this. This is complete and utter bullshit. If you don't like SM, fine. But don't sabotage them please.

[ReggaeKitten]

I don't believe this. Even though I never liked SM, despite liking their artists, I don't think that SM does this. It is illegal, and someone would have reported it to the police. Sure, some of it may be true, but not all of it. I don't think that LSM beats his idols nor is he so cruel. If he did and was, no one would want to be in SM anymore. They would hear the warnings trickled down the grape vine, and auditioin for another of the big three, JYP or YG instead.

Omo my andy oppa!! Hiw could them!!

[Jessica Angelia]

jyj thx for sharing. lee soo man is a bandit and u still deserves to got so a load of debts. right now they are rich those ge ge of mine. i love u all. jie hang in there, hang in there. me too hang in there. my bf ever said that ki bum is a real owner of sm. and eeteuk buy it and he said ok i sold it for u because i don;t have money. so think ur self bandit

[Sereenpower]

Personally I don't think this is that fake at all

Sure it's overreacting but Asian men beat quit easy when they don't agree with something

Korea CAN be violent you know.

[janbeatrice10]

I don't know if i should believe or not, but i do think some parts are true. We all think everything is true once it's caught on camera, but we don't know the true meaning behind the cameras.

[iShipMinFood]

Idk to believe this or not but SM does make their artist work hard non stop without rest. Do you guys know why TVXQ splitted? JYJ themselves said that SM don't give them rest and not being fair. At that time SJ and SNSD were rising stars and SM reduced TVXQ's actual salary for SJ and SNSD. Plus, a 13 year contract is asdghkkll.

[nandin urantsetseg]

WTF??? How do u even know this do work under sm?? Where u there when all of this beating happened?? This is just useless.... get a life!

[biyacomelah]

Y did u post this video ??? It us a useless thing that u had done in ur life u know that ? R u an SM idol ?? no rite ??? So u dont have any right to say this. what happen if this not true ?? n what happen if fans start to hate SM just because of this stupid video ?? huh ?????!!!!

[christin melinda]

Dear kwondephina, my thought after watching your videos never change! I believed that Lee Soo Man Sajang-nim is not like that. You should watched "I AM" Movie. I think you can't show the evidence about what are you write in your video. If you can show where did you know and what is the evidence,,then i will Change My Mind about SM Entertaiment:D

[dianzaidi]

They may be nice to soo man on tv, but it's not when there's no camera.

[Julie Yu]

I'll try to audition at SM if my mom allows me to go korea... I will test if this is true or not :p LOL Jk
