Lee Soo Man (born June 18 1952 ) created the well-known Korean entertainment company SM Entertainment , specializing in K-pop groups. When he was younger, he was a singer, but moved into the business side of the industry once his popularity had faded, after graduating from Seoul National University . SM became one of the biggest Record Label s in South Korea , due to the success of such groups as H.O.T , S.E.S. and the longest Boy Band Shinhwa . Lee has produced many popular artists under SM Entertainment. Due to its history and the strong position it has in the industry, it is assumed that being part of SM will guarantee instant stardom, although the lack of success by groups such as Shinvi have proven otherwise. Although his creations have been successful, Lee has been unable to escape the rumours of harsh treatment of its stars. However, only JTL , the group created from the H.O.T. members who left SM, has mentioned this publicly, talking about how they were not given their proper dues in one of their songs. The fact that groups have left after the end of their contract (Shinhwa, FTTS) have only furthered these rumours. SM has continued to be a successful company, however, with the popularity of artists such as BoA and TVXQ who are well-known in Korea , Japan , Thailand , China , Hong Kong , Malaysia , Singapore , and many other Asian countries.
