Chapter 252: Before and After (Chapter 252. below)
Due to the circumstances, due to the inability to create much value for the economic companies they belong to, many girl groups disbanded during the year, the most representative of which were SES and Fin.k.L.
S.M and DSP, the two Korean entertainment hegemons at the time, were hit hard.
The difference is that after the dissolution of H.O.T and SES, there are still myths in the hands of S.M.
In 2002, President Kim Young-wook was imprisoned and Lee so-man left for the United States, and at the moment when the girl group was sluggish, the mythical group made a great contribution to the development (or even survival) of S.M Entertainment. If there had been no myth to support it at that time, to put it mildly, S.M. had fallen as early as Nima.
On the other hand, the most critical DSP company in history has not been so lucky.
Since the disbandment of Crystal Boy in 2001, only Fin.k.L has been left in the hands of DSP, so DSP suffered the most losses in 2002.
In the end, the DSP had no choice but to disband Fin.k.L and concentrate the few remaining resources to run Lee Hyo-ri alone.
Characters come out in troubled times, either heroes or heroes, no matter what kind of heroes they are, it's not simple anyway.
In 2002, when S.M and DSP were in crisis, JYP and YG, which had been gaining momentum for a long time, took advantage of the situation and launched their trump cards.
The strongest newcomers Rain (Jung Ji-hoon) and Se7en! (Rain debuted in 2002 and Se7en debuted in early 2003).
It was with these two trump cards that JYP and YG achieved the same position as S.M for the first time.
Thus, the theory of the three major entertainment brokerage companies in South Korea was born-

Three: Changes in 2007.
After talking about 2002, let's talk about 2007.
As mentioned above, the New Millennium Democratic Party's participation in the operation of S.M was to obtain political funds, so during the 2007 presidential election, S.M Entertainment was again depleted of funds.
The lack of financial support has directly led S.M's ability to control the Korean entertainment market to its lowest point in history, and at the same time, it has also given its opponents a wide enough opportunity to rise.
Let's start with this year's presidential election.
Having learned its lesson, the Grand National Party has concentrated all its efforts in this presidential election to support Lee Myung-po's ascension. Park Jinhui lost the party's preliminary elections, and because she lost two consecutive terms, she was disappointed with the Grand National Party at the time, so she had the idea of forming another party.
As for the Democratic Party of the New Millennium, Roh Moo-hyun's recipe for economic reform ended in failure.
It is said that in order to deter the major chaebols, Roh Moo-hyun resorted to the means of killing chickens and monkeys, and sent Zheng Mengjiu, president of the old enemy Xian H Automobile Group, into a small iron cage (Khan!~ The crime is exactly the same as Kim Yingxu, it is illegal embezzlement of public funds, can you Koreans still do it?).
However, Roh Moo-hyun's approach not only did not work, but instead made the major chaebols completely chill him, and began to fully support Lee Myung-bak of the Grand National Party (while engaging in Jung Mong-koo, Roh Moo-hyun also planted a curse for himself).
Soon after leaving office, Roh Moo-hyun suddenly came up one day and was not quiet, and after drinking a little wine, the drunk and hazy Uncle Roh chased the daughter of the Seven Immortals (committed suicide by jumping off a cliff).
With the strong support of the major chaebols, Lee Myung-boxi was finally elected as the new president of South Korea, and the Grand National Party returned to its role as the ruling party.
Without the protection of the government, S.M finally unloaded its strongest help and faced the challenges of various entertainment companies.
Generally speaking, in 2007, there was a lack of gold, silver, luck, love, and calcium, in short, S.M entertainment companies with various deficiencies and various deficiencies can be said to have done nothing in the Korean entertainment market. SJ's second series results can't be seen at all, and GG's debut seems to be a little bleak, and Lin YonnA is okay with Lin YonnA among the nine members.
In 2007, this year belonged to BB and WG, and it belonged to JYP (Park Gorilla Zenima's ability to pick up leaks and not accept it).
"Lies" and "tellme" swept the Korean music scene in 2007, making BigBang the top boy group alongside TVXQ and SuperJunior in a very short period of time, and also making WonderGirls the only national girl group in South Korea-

Four: 2012.
Finally, 2012.
What is 2012?
Maybe before December 21 of that year, some people would say that 2012 was the end of the world, but it turned out to be not.
But for S.M Entertainment, 2012 was no less than the end of the world.
This year, S.M. was extremely sad.
SJ's six series of results are average, the nine GG sisters have no return all year round, the sparkling group and the function group are unable to resist many opponents, and the planetary group has not been able to fight out of the newcomers who debuted.
Throughout 2012, S.M lost again and again, and even lost out of pleasure.
To put it bluntly, this year is still because of the South Korean presidential election.
After reading the above content, the audience should be able to guess that yes, S.M's funds have been siphoned off again.
As soon as the president is elected, he has to follow the elements, and he is a big part, a big part that can break his muscles and bones. This is not because the parties are disgraceful, but because of the financial system inherent in capitalist countries, even if the parties do not ask for the money, the companies that expect to be protected and taken care of will rush to give it.
This is also the main reason why entertainment companies keep tossing all year round, but their turnover is so pitiful, because a lot of money is used to contribute to the 'national government'.
Cultivating feelings first (cultivating with money) and then developing organizations (developing with money) is the same in South Korea.
The first half of 2012 in the Korean music industry belonged to TARA, which belongs to MENT (CCM), which has never been bad for money. "LoveyDovey" is completely popular in Asia, and even the author can dance it, because the so-called ghost dance is really not that difficult, and it is much simpler than GG's "TheBoys" at the end of 2011.
In the second half of the year, everyone on earth knows that it belongs to a dead fat man who looks extremely obscene and can't eat a song for ten lifetimes. The equestrian dance of "Gangnam Style" (Yan zhòng's equestrian dance of Ko Yoyo Tae's "Pure Love") became so popular that even the people of Pluto danced along, while Park Dead Fat belonged to YG Company. Although the childish equestrian dancer can also dance (statement: the reason why the author can dance is completely for the sake of the little wild horse)-

From the above revelations, one conclusion can be drawn: every presidential election year is a time when S.M Entertainment is silent and other companies are rising.
Therefore, S.M is unlucky, and if the Democratic Party is in power in the new millennium, it is unlucky, because it has to send money.
So S.M is unlucky, the Grand National Party has joined the Blue House, and it is even more unlucky, and the money has been given away in vain.
It can also be said that the presidential election is a death that S.M Entertainment will never be able to separate.
