SM Entertainment Co., Ltd. (. Entertainment) is a large-scale artist planning and agency in South Korea, known as the three major entertainment companies in South Korea along with JYP and YG, known as Asia's No. 1 "Star Factory", founded in 1989 by singer-turned-singer Lee so-man.

Its name "SM" is an abbreviation of the English "Star Museum", which means "Star Museum, Hall of Fame".

This is the root of all evil in Hallyu.

Since 1998, SM has introduced its HOT and SES companies to Huaxia and Yuben, setting off a "Korean Wave" boom in Asia.

Since then, they have successively launched popular idol groups such as Shinhwa, TVXQ, Heavenly Tomoki, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), and Exo, gradually expanding their influence on the Asian entertainment industry.

Presumably, these idol groups are the youth memories of many post-80s, post-90s, and even post-00s, and the fan circle culture has gradually emerged from this period.

A straight man like Brother Xian has never been able to understand why people in the rice circle are so crazy, isn't it silently white, isn't it fragrant?

With this spirit, why not quarrel every day.....

Well, Brother Xian probably can't understand the fan circle culture in his life, he still prefers to chase and play games.

I didn't have the strength before.,I can only watch the hot fan that hasn't been updated to force Lai Lai.,Now that I have the strength.,Sooner or later, one day I'll go to the door to chase the change.。

Having said that, although SM Entertainment is the largest entertainment company in South Korea with both scale and strength, as well as popularity and influence, it is also one of the most controversial entertainment companies in South Korea.

Many fans gritted their teeth when mentioning it, eager to peel off the skin and bones.

But in the midst of these abuses and accusations, SM still dominates the South Korean entertainment industry for more than ten years, standing tall, and becoming more and more prosperous.

SM's new headquarters building is located at 521, Apgujeong 2-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

It is one of the busiest neighborhoods in Seoul, located in the northernmost part of Gangnam-gu, adjacent to Cheongdam-dong and bordered by the famous Rodeo Street, which is Apgujeong-dong to the west and Cheongdam-dong to the east.

Apgujeong-dong was designated as Seoul's "Fashion Street" in 1996, and although it is a famous shopping district, it is home to many top international luxury brands and department stores, and is at the forefront of fashion, but it is also known as a plastic surgery street.

On both sides of the street, large and small plastic surgery hospitals, high-end SPAs and private clubs can be described as a beautiful landscape.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the frontier of the "Four Great Evils" of plastic surgery in Asia.

Along the way, Li Xian looked at the plastic surgery hospitals on both sides of the street, and felt his scalp tingle, and he couldn't help complaining: "The hospitals are all piled up, and you can't grab a head to break the blood flow when you grab business." ”

"No, Mr. Lee. When Huang Minying heard this, she explained to him with a smile: "Don't look at so many plastic surgery hospitals here, in fact, they don't worry about customers at all." It can be said that it is a mecca for plastic surgery in Asia, and a steady stream of tourists come here every day. Also, there are a lot of entertainment companies nearby, and they are also regular customers here. ”

"Hehe....too. Li Xian smiled, suddenly thought of some rumors about South Korean idols on the Internet, and said: "I have heard that South Korean trainees will be required by the company to have plastic surgery before their debut, and it seems to be true." ”

"Hmm~~ That's right. However, it is only some small companies that have this kind of hard requirement. As long as they are not satisfied with the trainee's appearance, they will ask them to do facial fine-tuning.

But like some large companies, the selection of trainees is very strict, not only to have strength, but also to have appearance. Therefore, these trainees with outstanding appearance are generally not required to do facial fine-tuning.

For example, we SM Entertainment have very strict requirements for the appearance of trainees, if the appearance is not up to par, no matter how outstanding your strength is, you will be rejected as well. ”

"Well~~SM has the most handsome guys and beauties. ”

"That's for sure, our idols are the best. Huang Minying said proudly.

SM company produces handsome guys and beauties, but it's no joke.

The trainees who want to test them are the same as the Qingbei test.

Like the most basic requirements, you must have both singing and dancing, and have a very outstanding skill, and then there is the height requirement, which cannot be lower than 155 for girls, 160 or more in general, and 170 for boys.

The above is just the threshold, and if it does not meet any of the conditions, there will be no follow-up.

However, those trainees who can pass the threshold will face more stringent selection.

Take girls as an example, SM likes girls the most.

First of all, you have to have a good temperament, and you have that feeling of freshness, sweetness and confidence.

Secondly, to be beautiful, it must conform to the public aesthetics of South Korea, just like Yoona and Suzy, with small faces, small mouths, small noses, and beautiful eyes.

Again, it must be polite and friendly, and the girl must look like a girl and not be too masculine.

Again, slender and tall, but not too tall.

....., the strength must be great, there must be plasticity and potential, and singing and dancing must be as prominent.

...... For girls from abroad, it is better to know Korean, or else to be fluent in English.

Take a look, is this a trainee or a concubine.

With such good conditions, it is more than enough to participate in beauty pageants, and it is quite easy to become an Internet celebrity in China.

People like Brother Xian, who are so harsh on girls' appearance, are not so urinating.

But that's SM Entertainment.

It dares to call Asia's first "star-making factory", which is the kind of confidence.

Don't blow it up, it's not black, people's trainee mechanism is the world's top level, even if the requirements for selecting people are harsh, there are still a lot of dream-chasing teenagers who will follow suit.

It is said that there is no soil for the survival of idol groups in China, and it is necessary to engage in men's and women's groups.

These are all P words, if you have someone with such a perfect and professional trainee mechanism, are you afraid that the cultivated group will not be popular?

To put it bluntly, it is professionally lagging behind, and it is no wonder that the "Korean Wave" culture has invaded.

Just like esports, a dish is a dish, don't make so many excuses.

Li Xian owns 25% of SM Entertainment's shares, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

Although he, a major foreign shareholder, has never thought and is unlikely to control the company, it is still no problem to "steal teachers" and cooperate.

The most awesome ability of our Chinese people is their ability to learn, as long as we learn their excellent mechanism, maybe we can counter the invasion in the future.

No more gossip ....

A few minutes later, the car slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and when I looked out the window, I saw the headquarters building of SM.

This building has a total of 8 floors, just completed and put into use at the end of last year, the whole building of the dark blue glass curtain wall, giving people the first feeling of simplicity, avant-garde, atmosphere!

In a variety show, the EXO members said that they earned the new building, and then Director Bao'er directly said that she earned the old building.

Well, this shows the ability of the company's artists to attract money.

"Mr. Li, do you want me to inform President Kim?"

"Well, tell him. Don't bother him to pick me up, though. Li Xian said, got out of the car, he wanted to visit the building first, and then meet with a few big guys from SM.

After getting out of the car, Li Xian leaned on the side of the car, lit a cigarette for himself, and smoked leisurely.

It is not uncommon for fans to squat at the entrance of the company building all year round, not only locals, but also foreign tourists to try their luck here.

Moreover, many people who come to Seoul for tourism make a special trip to "pilgrimage" here, and maybe they will be lucky enough to meet their favorite idols.

Young people are full of energy, and on such a hot day, isn't it fragrant to stay at home?

Brother Xian said something in his heart, and was about to walk to the door of the building, when a black nanny car stopped next to it.

"It's coming, it's coming... Exo's nanny car is back!"

"Ahhhh

I don't know who shouted, the sound was so loud that Brother Xian was startled, and when he saw the crowd not far away, swarming like locusts.

"I'll go...."Brother Xian's eyes widened, and he dodged out of the way.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been easily injured by mistake.

Six or seven big boys got out of the black nanny car, all of them wearing masks, and they couldn't see clearly, but they were really in good shape.

Those fans who were holding the cheers brushed them and surrounded them, in addition to the piercing screams, some people took the opportunity to groping.....

"Ahhhh Lu Han... Hey...."

"Chanyeol Chanyeol~~"

"Baekhyun, Baekhyun..... Over here... Look here...."

"Wuli Talking!!"

Several security personnel rushed over to escort them, although they couldn't stop these "enthusiastic" fans, but at least they ensured the "life safety" of these idols.

One of the members' pants was almost pulled off, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart except for embarrassingly responding to fans.

South Korean idols are probably in this situation, they must maintain their demeanor anytime and anywhere, and even if the fans are excessive, they must respond politely.

South Korea's concept of respect and inferiority has a fight with the saying, always remain humble and polite, bow when you meet leaders, bow when you meet elders and seniors, and bow when you thank fans....

And you have to bow 90 degrees, which is a huge test of waist and abdominal strength!

Fortunately, I'm not a stick, this special meow bows every day, who can stand it!

Brother Xian complained in his heart, watching which boy group idols were protected into the building, and asked, "Are they exo?"

I heard someone shouting EXO just now.

Brother Xian also knows a little about this boy group and knows that there are several Chinese members in it.

By the way, one of the members quit the team without permission, causing SM's stock price to plummet.

"Uh-huh.... Yes. There was a hint of excitement in Huang Minying's eyes, and it seemed that she was also a fan of EXO.

"They should have just finished the announcement, and the members who passed just now, among them, Lu Han and Tao are from Huaxia like you, and they are as good as you. As he spoke, he peeked at Brother Xian's side face.

Just as good?

Is this praising me, or scolding me?!

"Hehe~" Brother Xian smiled without saying a word, and then walked forward.

The crazy fans were stopped outside, and it wasn't until the members of EXO got on the elevator that they were a little quieter.

Some people got autographs and took photos, and they were extremely excited, while others didn't get anything, and they looked very lost.

Chasing stars is cool for a while... Chase to the end..... Belch...

Lee Hyun bypassed the crowd and walked into the building, but he never thought that he would be noticed by those fans.

No way, after all, it is a handsome ratio of 81 appearance, with an aura of two meters eight, handsome and compelling.

It's just that the whole team can barely steal the limelight with Brother Xian, if not...... Ahem...

"Anning Hase~" A girl who looked like a high school student boldly came up to talk, she stared at Brother Xian's handsome face, and asked expectantly, "Are you a trainee of SM?"

"It's not...."Brother Xian shrugged his shoulders and said in Korean, which was quite simple.

At this time, his progress in learning Korean was already 35%.

"Oh, you're an artist who has already debuted?" the high school girl asked again.

"It's not either...."

"That's a pity, if you're an artist, I think I'll support you. The girl said with a little disappointment.

This sentence is a bit long, and Brother Xian has a general meaning, but he just smiled, didn't respond anything, and quickened his pace to walk inside.

"Yoon-hee... Which Oba is a trainee?" the girl's friend asked hurriedly.

The girl named Yoon-hee shook her head and said, "No.... He guess he's just an employee of SM. ”

"It's a pity, he's so handsome, it's a pity that he shouldn't be an idol. My friend said regretfully.

"Does he look familiar?" muttered another friend, but couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment.

Brother Xian was stopped by a security guard, and Huang Minying immediately explained to the security guard the identity of Li Xian's distinguished guest, and the other party let him go, and bent down and bowed 90 degrees.

Brother Xian definitely doesn't care about anything, his true identity has not been disclosed, and even the little translator doesn't know it.

Huang Minying took Li Xian to visit the first floor and introduced: "Mr. Li, the café operated by the company here is usually open to the public...... This is the staff cafeteria, and the bibimbap and ginseng chicken soup in it taste good. ”

The first floor is mainly a restaurant and café, with a modern style design and a very luxurious decoration.

Brother Xian walked around briefly, and then took the elevator to the second floor.

The elevator door opened, and two high-definition LED full-color screens were displayed, on which the images of the company's artists were played.

"Mr. Li, the second floor is the training room, and the third floor is the staff leisure area and entertainment area," Huang Minying said.

"Hmm...."Li Xian nodded, looked at the training room on the left, saw that some doors were open, and asked, "Is anyone training now?"

"No problem, Mr. Lee. Huang Minying said, took two steps forward, first stretched out her head to take a look, and then listened to the voice, and then said to Li Xian: "There seems to be someone in the training room of Girls' Generation..."

Tut..... It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.

Jessica would be shocked if she saw her brother, right?

Li Xian thought about it, and walked to the front practice room with Huang Minying, and when he was about to walk to the door, a figure hurriedly came out of it.

When Li Xian saw the figure, it was too late to dodge, and the two collided directly!

"Assi ~ bastard.... Don't you have long eyes?"

"What did you say?"

Li Xian touched the chin that was hit, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he looked directly at the person in front of him.

Scold me?

Think Lao Tzu doesn't understand?

The man in front of him, with thin cheeks and small eyes, looked like he was in his 40s, and he was about 170 years tall.

He covered his head and stared at Li Xian with an angry face, it seemed that the collision was not light.

"I said, don't you have eyes?!bastard!" the man said angrily.

"Inside.... Mr. Jiang.... Misunderstand... This is..."Huang Minying recognized the man and said quickly.

She was just about to introduce Li Xian, but she was glared at fiercely by the other party and said, "What about your etiquette?

This Director Jiang didn't give Huang Minying any chance to speak, turned his head and continued to stare at Li Xiandao: "Which department are you?

As he spoke, he pointed to the ground and said viciously, "Now kneel down and apologize to me!"

!!

On your knees?

You're so!

Li Xian understood this word, and the whole person was not good, and he couldn't help but spit fragrantly: "I'm your uncle!!"

"Huh, Huaxia?" Director Jiang stared, although he didn't hear what Li Xian said, he could hear that it was Chinese.

"Damn it, bastard. You kid is just waiting to be expelled!"

"Expel?!he~" Brother Xian laughed angrily, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Lao Tzu is neither an employee here nor a trainee, so why do you say that you fired me?" Oh, by the way, I may be your boss." ”

"Axi~ You kid get out of here...."Director Jiang had a black face, he still listened to what Brother Xian said, and habitually slapped over.

Brother Xian grabbed his wrist, and as soon as he twisted it unceremoniously, he heard the sound of bones rubbing, and the other party trembled all over his body, and let out a miserable scream in pain.

"Ahh~~Assi~ Let go, let go. ”

Room Chief Jiang's body tilted to the right in the direction of his wrist being twisted, and he didn't forget to shout while enduring the pain: "You're finished, you're finished." Security guard... Take this bastard down on me!"

Huang Minying was stupid on the side, looking at all this, her mouth was big, but she couldn't make any sound.

The security personnel rushed to the scene, but were blocked by a big man.

That's right, it's Brother Xu, he stared at the two security guards who came over with a cold face.

The two of them were stunned, and they felt pressured under Brother Xu's gaze, feeling as if they were being stared at by poisonous snakes.

"Heh~" Li Xian glanced sideways at the back, and then looked at the head of the Jiang room, and said word by word in his half-hung Korean: "I'm just waiting here to see how you finish me!"

Special meow!

Has Lao Tzu been too restrained lately?

"Sure... Security guard..... Call the police....." Beads of sweat oozed from the head of the Jiang room's painful forehead, but his eyes were extremely vicious.

At this time, many people were attracted by the movement here, and there were people in several practice rooms who looked over here.

In the practice room when he was young, Xu Xiaoxian stretched out his head to look out of the door and saw Li Xian's face, his eyes were slightly stunned.

"Huh~ It's him?!"

At this time, the phone rang suddenly, Huang Minying came back to her senses, picked up the phone in a hurry, and said with a little crying: "President.... Mr. Li got into a fight with Mr. Jiang. ”

The corners of Brother Xian's mouth twitched violently, obviously I was beating him.

.....
