And in order to increase the right to speak within the company (mainly Kim Young-min can't beat the strong Lee so-man. After so many fights, the former doesn't seem to have won much. Kim Young-min carefully planned the debut plan of Girls' Generation, trying to use this group to impact Lee so-man's prestige.

However, Kim Young-min had never been engaged in entertainment planning before after all, he just applied some hearsay planning methods to Girls' Generation, and as a result, he almost caused this women's group to die halfway (Black Sea Incident).

It stands to reason that after this incident, Kim Young-min, who was blind for a few things, could become an invisible person within S.M's company and lose his authority and prestige, but what happened next saved Kim Young-min, who was in a crisis of ability.

With the increasing development and progress of the Korean entertainment industry, coupled with the competition of other companies, S.M's artists can no longer endure the original extremely harsh exploitation methods, and the Han Geng incident and the TVXQ incident broke out one after another, which made Li Xiuman firmly planted a big heel.

Looking at Li Xiu's heels, Kim Young-min, who used to fight and always lose, laughed and laughed...

After laughing, it is laughing, and after laughing, it is reflection, mutual comfort, and sympathy.

These negative things made Lee so-man and Kim Young-min both realize their own shortcomings and each other's strengths, so after that, Kim Young-min completely secluded behind the scenes and took charge of the management affairs of S.M Company wholeheartedly, while Lee so-man took on the work of entertainment (artist) planning full-time.

In 2007, after the Grand National Party returned to power, S.M's business environment deteriorated.

In such a bad situation, S.M Company could only reluctantly shift its business focus to other South Korea, but it didn't want the East to be bright and the West to be bright and bright and bright. Since then, S.M.TOWN has blossomed all over the world.

And as S.M has become a benchmark for Hallyu culture, the Grand National Party, which recognizes the stakes, can no longer unscrupulously suppress S.M.

Since the TVXQ incident, the treatment of S.M's artists has also been greatly improved. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of S.M artists buying houses, cars, and side businesses, and the planning of itineraries and activities has become more and more reasonable, as evidenced by the fact that many S.M artists have become fat.

In the most difficult year of 2012, Kim Yingmin also showed his superb business methods to the fullest.

This year, YG Entertainment has been soaring with momentum, and it is simply like a mountain and a river. However, in the year-end financial summary, the value and profit value of the zào created by S.M, which is quiet, far exceeded that of YG.

However, because of the new president, Aunt Park, S.M Company encountered a lot of difficulties after that, and what happened was obvious to all.

There is no way, the Democratic Party of the New Millennium and the Grand National Party are inherently incompatible.

List of past presidents of S.M Entertainment:

Kim Young-wook, the first president of S.M Entertainment (1995-2002).

Xu Daxin, the second president of S.M Entertainment (2002-2005).

Biao Renfeng, the third president of S.M Entertainment (2005-2008).

Kim Young-min, the fourth president of S.M Entertainment (2008-).

Kim Young-min does not have S.M shares in his hands, and it can be seen from these that S.M is purely built by Lee so-man himself.

It is true that S.M Entertainment has the support of the government or parties, but the strength of the support is definitely not as much as imagined-

Two: The amazing cycle of history.

2002, 2007, 2012, at first glance, it seems that these three years have nothing to do with each other, a change in 5 years, is it the legendary five-year itch?

Actually, it's not, there are some secrets hidden in it that people don't know, and now, Benjun will talk about them one by one.

Let's start with 2002.

This year is definitely the most turbulent and cruel year in the history of South Korean politics.

After the defeat in 1997, the powerful Grand National Party made a comeback, this time with unprecedented momentum, and each of the three candidates was not an easy one.

The first candidate, Lee Hoe Chang, was the leader of the Grand National Party at the time. The fiasco in 1997 made Lee Huichang a disgraced candidate in this election. This time, standing behind Li Huichang is the oblique H Automobile Group.

The second candidate, Park Jinhui, is the daughter of former President Park Chung-hee. Because she has contributed to the development of the major chaebols in South Korea, Aunt Park has naturally won the favor and recognition of the major chaebols.

The third candidate, Zheng Mengzhun, was the vice president of the AFC, and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup was promoted by him, so Zheng Mengzhun has accumulated huge prestige and fame, and the most important thing is that this product is still the president of Xian H Heavy Industry, not bad money.

Because each of the three candidates was extraordinary, after an extremely tragic battle, Lee Hoi Chang stood out and was qualified to represent the Grand National Party in the presidential election.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the game within the party consumed all of Li Huichang's strength.

In the face of the united DPJ in the new millennium, even if the Grand National Party resorted to despicable and dirty means, it could not prevent Roh Moo-hyun from ascending to power.

Seeing that the audience here will ask, saying that it is despicable and dirty, so what is this means?

It's S.M.

That's right, it was the imprisonment of Kim Young-wook, the president of S.M at the time.

What is the charge?

Illegal embezzlement of public funds.

As the president of a company, what is there to embezzle public funds - the only way to transfer the company's funds to support a party's general election?

It is said that the crime of illegal embezzlement of public funds is really a big bad move in South Korean politics, and it is this kind of big bad trick that has little technical to speak of, but it is a good one, and whoever is targeted by this trick is specially designated as unlucky.

Another major event of the year was the hosting of the Korea-Japan World Cup.

This event had a particularly heavy impact on the Korean entertainment industry and completely changed the landscape of the Korean entertainment market.

As we all know, the entertainment industry is an eyeball economy, and economic benefits can only be achieved if it can attract attention, but in the face of the World Cup, which the whole country attaches importance to the global attention, the entertainment industry can only be dwarfed.

Football is a sport that is far more attractive to men than women, especially after the South Korean football team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup, and the enthusiasm of Koreans for football has reached an unprecedented height (after watching the whole process of South Korea's entry into the semi-finals, this author once believed that the Chinese Super League is the purest league in the world).

Women may have a passion for football because they follow the crowd, but then they will return to the way they were, while men's enthusiasm will endure.

Generally speaking, there are more female fans in male idol groups, while the fans of female idol groups are mainly male.

As a result, under the impact and influence of the World Cup, the female idol group was instantly forced into a desperate situation...
