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.

ppl can say whatever they want but this stuff is true. I was a big fan of shinhwa & heard of how SM treated them. The year they decided to leave, SM force the Daeseng award to be given to Boa although Shinhwa was voted for the win. Shinhwa members cried backstage & Minwoo was super pissed. Also JTL did say why they had to leave SM. They were the least liked out of HOT & was treated bad. Most of the artists admits what happens after they leave SM & have no contract to bind them. HanGeng is one!

[selena311lol]

Hangeng was treated terribly by SM and so was Shinhwa and HOT . I'm not too sure on DBSK

[ElaineKasua]

wow.. really??? well dont think they can be actually tht cruel.... i know the diets and the full schedule and no days-of-thing is probably true.. but beating their artists?? nawww... arent they too 'precious'? i mean they spend so much money on them to make them big.... and also.. i think SHINee is traeted well.. ok they are tired as hell... but actually i heard Jonghyun is at home and Onew was on vacation?? also they have a nice dorm.. and got a privat jet once (MinHo said tht)

[kino1988]

i don't know about the rest but number 4 is definitely true...that's what's happening to our JYJ boys right now...even when SME was ordered BY COURT not to interfere with JYJ's schedules...JYJ is still banned from all the tv stations...but the rest seems really sketchy...i know SME work their artists really hard and they get paid shit...and i have heard the artists would have full schedules everyday all year round and they only get like...5 days off in a year...but the beating seems too much...

[lifehappens]

also...wouldnt all this stuff against dbsk be revealed by now? JYJ completely cut ties from SM. they have no problem talking about the slave contract issues, the unequal distribution of wages, the being worked too hard...seems weird that they wouldnt say, oh yeah, so and so member was almost beaten to death. and also, wouldnt changmin be the first to leave sment after being treated so badly? idk, you guys need to have proof before speculating something like this.

[lifehappens]

i honestly dont believe the being beaten by a superior charges. first of all, i think they probably got in a fight with other members (not uncommon for people to come to blows bc theyre so pissed example: seungri and hyunseng of big bang in their trainee days, all of the shinhwa boys with each other, etc) so i think it was more a result of that than LSM beating them. i presume he has more important things to do and actually in korea, being hit is so common its ridic. teachers always hit the kids

[ThePeridot03]

I meant the stars

[ThePeridot03]

This is not true!!! Lee soo man is really nice!! These rumors are spreading because Of jyj. The ceo is the problem. Lee soo man is no match for the ceo workers. Lee soo man is just the founder. He tries to make the ceo take less control of the ceo.

[SJlover111]

@loveanpanlien LSM isn't the CEO anymore.. it's YYJ.

[SHINee4evr]

the only reason i deal with SM is because i like shinee, super junior, snsd, fx, tvxq, and boa.

[heedragon1]

SM IS NOW ONLY FOCUSING ON SNSD.

They don't even let SHINee release an album! Shit thing~
