708 Hallyu warms up

Recommended song: Stefanie Sun - Rainy day

For Lee Joon-yi, this summer is too hot and full of happy events, and after the announcement of the news of attending the Venice Film Festival, it must have become a topic of conversation again in Asia and the United States. But before Fred Pyle could get the news out, South Korea was thrown into chaos again.

Summer is like fire, but for the Korean entertainment industry, there is a slight chill in the scorching sun, and autumn seems to have arrived early. JYP's fight against the "Yi Family" is something that is only known in the circle, and the uprising of TVXQ is also something that is only known in the circle, but the turbulent waves hidden under this calm have completely erupted because of one scandal after another, and it is suddenly a stormy wave.

First of all, Zhu Zhixun was suspected of drug abuse, and after he pleaded guilty, he was sentenced to six months in prison with a one-year probation. Then, Lee Byung-hun, who had made South Koreans proud for a week with his "special forces" not long ago, was exposed to playing with women, and his ex-girlfriend directly stood up and dealt a fatal blow, and the two even went to court. Lee Byung-hun accused his ex-girlfriend of blackmail, and his ex-girlfriend opposed Lee Byung-hun's cheating marriage. Li Bingxian, who has always walked in the entertainment industry as a good man, suddenly fell into a quagmire.

If you add to that the suicide of Zhang Ziyan, a small supporting actor in the popular "Boys Over Flowers" at the beginning of the year, and the countless dark transactions within the entertainment industry after this incident, of course, we can't forget the big showdown between Lee Joon-yi and Anti in June. It's only been half a year, and the glamour of the Korean entertainment industry has suddenly become ugly, making everyone jaw-dropping.

In recent years, the Korean Wave, which has swept Asia with Korean dramas and Korean movies, has gradually declined with the decline in the quality of scripts, and the style of the original Korean Wave has not been seen at its peak. On the contrary, Korean music, led by singers such as Lee Joon-yi and TVXQ, has gradually risen, and a wave of idol singers has been blowing in Asia. But after entering 2009, a series of scandals in the Korean entertainment industry made the Korean Wave, which had only signs of recovery, warm up again and began to fall silent again.

In this case, the scandals within the company were also revealed one after another, first the news that Kim Jae-joong, Park Youqian, and Kim Jun-so were trying to terminate the contract with the company, which made the Asian fairy queens fall into an extremely shocking situation, and then the partial exposure of the slave contract made everyone very surprised by the current situation of the Korean entertainment industry. The matter is not over here, just a few days later, as soon as the news of Li Xiuman delegating power and retiring to the mountains and forests came out, it became another seismic news in the Korean music scene since 2009. For a time, the company's stock showed a sharp downward trend.

As a company in South Korea, although there has always been negative news, it has also experienced many thrilling moments, including the dissolution of HOT, the collective termination of the myth, and so on. The company has survived strongly, but this time, even the helmsman Li Xiuman has stepped down, and the seriousness of the matter is far beyond everyone's imagination.

How things will play out is anyone's guess.

Although it is rough on the surface, in fact, it is Baek Chang-so who is manipulating behind the scenes. The matter of Zhu Zhixun and Lee Byung-hun broke out by chance, which plunged the Korean entertainment industry into a series of scandals, especially Lee Byung-hun as a national-level actor, the week of "special forces" is still in front of him, and at that time, the Korean media also sent all the praises, but such a big scandal broke out in a blink of an eye, which really caught the Korean media a little off guard.

Seeing this chaos, of course Baek Chang-so knew that the opportunity could not be lost and never come again, so he preemptively broke TVXQ's termination turmoil, and then broke the news about the information he had about the slave contract - of course he would not be stupid enough to blow it all out, after all, he also wanted to be a brokerage company and expose all the bottoms, which not only violated the unspoken rules of the industry and angered other brokerage companies, but it was also difficult for him to sign a contract in the future. Therefore, he only broke the news about the most serious parts, such as the length of the contract, such as the unequal clause and so on.

This trick kept all the reporters busy and began to investigate everything about TVXQ, about slave contracts, and about the company. Although the news of Li Xiuman's departure from the company was confidential, it was not confidential, and it was soon exposed. Even some of the news of the dissolution of HOT and Myth has been blown out before and after. Now, the company is really in chaos.

Regarding this matter, Girls' Generation, of course, the company's artists are silent and are not allowed to express any opinions. But from the mouths of Lim Yoon-a, Kim Tae-yeon and others, Lee Joon-yi still learned that in the absence of Lee so-man, although the company did not make a big mess because there were still perennial leaders in charge, the low-level managers such as the agents below were indeed out of proportion, and many trainees and artists began to panic.

In fact, everyone has a good idea of what the contract they signed is. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were driven by profits, it is estimated that they would not have mentioned any "slave contract". But as soon as this incident broke out, middle and low-level managers began to suppress and manage artists and trainees, and no one was allowed to mention the contract, nor did anyone mention the contract.

Lately, the atmosphere in the company has been a bit oppressive. Even within this veteran group, which has debuted for a short time, there is some turmoil. This makes Girls' Generation a little nervous, they only rose this year with "gee", and this time "Say Your Wish" is a platform for their popularity to continue to rise, so they still have a lot of room for development, and they are also more worried about the impact of this turmoil.

The Korean entertainment industry is in chaos, and Park Youqian contacted Lee Joon-yi as soon as possible, "Joon-yi, why did this matter come to this?" Park Youqian's voice was also a little scared, and the impact of the incident was much more exaggerated than he imagined.

In fact, if the TVXQ turmoil broke out, it would have had a great influence, but Baek Changsu grasped the opportunity too well, and then the outbreak of Zhu Zhixun and Lee Byung-hun, the Korean entertainment industry has been eventful this year, so as soon as TVXQ came out, it was even more chaotic, and with the addition of the slave contract, it was even more out of control.

Originally, because of Zhang Ziyan's incident at the beginning of the year, the public had a very bad impression of the black trade in the entertainment industry, and now that the slave contract has broken out again, it is estimated that people who watch jokes are all over the street. At this juncture, the company made things worse.

So, things are really going a little off the rails. 2009 was indeed the most powerful year for the "Korean Wave".

"Yes, Baek Chang-so, you know, he did all this behind the scenes. Lee Joon-yi knew that this was Baek Chang-so's chance, but at the same time, it was also his chance, and it was the opportunity for TVXQ's young men.

"What, President Baek?" Park Youqian obviously didn't expect that this had anything to do with Baek Chang-so.

Before, Lee Joon-yi didn't tell Park Youqian about Baek Chang-so, mainly because their heads were in a mess at the time and they were unwilling to trust others, even if they told them Baek Chang-so's background, they wouldn't believe it, and even if they did, they would be angry and say it didn't matter. But now it is different, and now Park Youqian is shaken, obviously not expecting the seriousness of this incident. That's the opportunity.

Sure enough, when Lee Joon-yi explained the whole story completely, and even listed the matter of Kwon Sang-woo, Park Youqian was completely stunned, and he didn't say anything for a while.

The company is for the sake of profit, so no matter which company they sign with in the future, the interest must be the first consideration. But this time the development of things is off the track, maybe it will have a huge impact on their image, the company is easy to be put on the hat of "betrayal", and now it is involved in the underworld, then the three of them will not come out in the future, and the company will be banned faster.

Park Youqian's brain is also a person who turns quickly, and he soon knew the powerful relationship here, but he was also cautious, knowing that he had to think about it carefully, and he also needed to confirm the matter of Baek Chang-so. So after saying goodbye to Li Zhunyi in a panic, he hung up the phone.

Soon after, Kim Jae-jung also called Lee Joon-yi. When he hung up the phone, he was hit harder than Park Youqian. From the last time I chatted in Lee Joon-yi's apartment in Los Angeles, we can know that in fact, Park Youqian is still more reluctant in his heart, and Kim Jae-jung has a bigger idea of leaving. I heard that Baek Chang-so was the first person to contact Kim Jae-jung, so after knowing this fact, Kim Jae-jung was completely shocked.

Li Zhunyi knew that this was a great opportunity. hurriedly called Jung Yoon-ho and told him about Baek Chang-so, Jung Yoon-ho was completely involved in the case, if Kim Jae-jung and the three of them really signed a contract with Baek Chang-so, then the consequences are really all possibilities.

Fortunately, Park Youqian and Kim Jae-jung still trust Lee Joon-yi, and after the incident broke out, they took the initiative to call Lee Joon-yi, and also gave Lee Joon-yi a chance to persuade the two of them. Next, it's up to Jung Yoon-ho's. Jung Yun-ho is a very tolerant person, and he is also the most loyal to TVXQ, so he will not watch his three partners go astray.

I only hope that this time can be an opportunity for TVXQ to unite again, although interests will eventually become a hurdle in their hearts, but at the very least, it will be enough to be able to regain their original dream in friendship.

Thinking of this, Lee Joon-yi called Xu Jingyan, Hong Sung-hyun, Park Jin-woo and others one after another, and told them what happened just now, the company, and Kim Jae-jung's affairs. Take control of the situation before things continue to deteriorate.

The warmth of the Korean Wave is bad news for the Korean entertainment industry, but in Lee Joon-yi's opinion, if TVXQ can wake up and reunite because of Baek Chang-so's move, then everything will not be a problem.
