Well, "Chapters", which has little to do with the text but still needs to spend money to watch, is here again.

In fact, sometimes the author of this article thinks that "Su Zhang" is more interesting than "Text", and I think this is because "Su Zhang" is often more difficult to write than "Text", especially the popularization and secret chapters, isn't there so many four words, and the truth is hard to say. Similarly, real things are difficult to write, and writing them will inevitably attract complaints.

This chapter is a chapter of revelation from the content of the last paragraph of the previous chapter, and the full chapter is titled "Before and After S.M Entertainment in Korea", which can be regarded as a knowledge popularization chapter about S.M Entertainment in South Korea.

Audiences, especially Korean entertainment novice audiences, or some Korean entertainment novel authors who are not particularly familiar with the history of Korean entertainment and S.M Company, in the future, if everyone is lucky enough to be able to see this street fighting novel with an average order of only 15 percent, if you can insist on reading this chapter, then you will know what kind of role S.M Entertainment is in the Korean entertainment industry.

Although this chapter is the twenty-hundred-and-fifty chapter, the content of this chapter is not two-hundred-five at all.

This chapter will be divided into four parts to illustrate -

One: The Rise of S.M Entertainment.

In the early 90s of the last century, after decades of arduous struggle, the famous "democracy fighter" Kim Dae-jung and the New Millennium Democratic Party (hereinafter referred to as the New People's Party) led by him finally gained a firm foothold in the South Korean political arena. In addition, with the increasing openness of society and thought and the improvement of people's living standards, the people's urgent demand for democratization is also increasing.

Under such circumstances, Kim Dae-jung realized that the New People's Party could finally compete with the Grand National Party.

The New People's Party can do anything, but its economic strength cannot, so Kim Dae-jung urgently needs to have his own economic resources that belong to the New People's Party.

The reality at that time was that the traditional market share in South Korea had been divided and monopolized by the major chaebols, which were inextricably linked to the Grand National Party. If we start with these traditional aspects, it will be difficult for the New People's Party to make a breakthrough, and it will even be jointly encircled and suppressed by the major chaebols, and the New People's Party will not be able to confront those big chaebols at all. Even if there is a confrontation, even if it can finally achieve a breakthrough and win, it will be a protracted and fierce battle, and the New People's Party will not have so many resources and strength to consume.

As a result, the entertainment industry, which has flourished since the 80s of the last century, has entered the vision of the New People's Party, which is an emerging industry that has not yet been touched by giant crocodiles. As a result, Kim Dae-jung's nephew was tasked with seeking a partner to open up financial resources for the New People's Party.

At the same time, a Korean singer who was active in the 80s returned from studying in the United States. After seeing the developed entertainment industry in Europe and the United States, the singer came up with the idea of developing his own entertainment career. After returning to Korea, the singer used the trainee method, which was unprecedented in the Korean industry at the time, and used the assembly line model to train artists.

The singer's maverick business methods and operating model attracted the attention of Kim Dae-jung's nephew.

Then the two hit it off, funded by Kim Dae-jung's nephew, the singer was in charge of the operation, and together with some other shareholders, a new entertainment company was established at No. 521, Apgujeong 2-dong, Gangnam, the name of this entertainment company is S.M. Entertainment, and the president is Kim Dae-jung's nephew, and his name is Kim Young-wook. The singer is in charge of the company's planning and operation, and his name is Li Xiuman.

Thanks to the background of the New People's Party, S.M has shown an extraordinary side from the beginning. The younger brother of the Korean entertainment companies at that time quickly occupied the leading position in the Korean entertainment industry at a jaw-dropping speed. At the beginning of their debut, their first idol group H.O.T trampled all their opponents under their feet and became the king of the Korean music industry.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the members of H.O.T, several members of Shinhwa and individual members of SES, there is another person who deserves attention among the group of trainees selected at the beginning of the establishment of S.M.

This person has been surviving with singing practice among the many trainees of S.M, and later, for some unknown reason, on the eve of H.O.T's debut, this person left the S.M company.

Since then, he has been involved in behind-the-scenes planning and has been involved in the launch of many groups and singers such as Turbo, SGWannaBe, Seeya, Lee Hyo-ri, Davichi, T-ara, 5Dolls, Speed, TheSeeya, and Supernova. This person is a well-known entertainment planner, his name is Kim Kwang-so, and he is now the president of CCM and the representative of the entertainment department of MNET.

In 1997, Kim Dae-jung won the South Korean presidential election, and the Democratic Party of the New Millennium began to govern for the first time. At the beginning of his tenure, Kim Dae-jung put forward the strategy of "bringing Hallyu culture to the world", which can also be said to be a strategy.

S.M Entertainment, which has close ties to the New People's Party, has become the biggest beneficiary of this strategy, or strategy. S.M and its artists are gradually becoming internationally famous.

When S.M Company was showing its strength on the international stage, Kim Young-wook, who was halfway through the monk, and Lee so-man, who was a singer, finally realized their shortcomings in management ability.

As a result, Kim Young-wook recruited his younger brother, Kim Young-min, who had just graduated from Korea University, to the company and appointed him as the head of the overseas development team. And Kim Yingmin also lived up to expectations, relying on his strong business ability, so that S.M's brand effect is becoming more and more resounding in the world.

Since Kim Young-min joined, S.M Entertainment's business tentacles have begun to extend to all parts of the world. The most representative event was the "HOTChina" trainee selection in 2001, and Han Geng stood out from this selection.

However, in 2002, the political dumping spread to S.M.

President Kim Young-wook was imprisoned, and Lee so-man had no choice but to leave the United States.

Kim Young-min, who independently supports S.M., has shown his ability in a crisis for the first time. So in 2005, Kim Young-min became the representative director of S.M Entertainment.

Kim Young-min, who came from a higher education, is very disgusted with the management methods of Lee so-man, an old-school singer, and the two often argue over business strategies, sometimes not only arguing, but also doing things, which belongs to the kind of people who go to drink together an hour after an hour of fighting.

In fact, the starting point of the two is for the good of the company, but the concept is relatively different.
