Hello everyone, we need to stop bangwagon hating on Lee Soo man. Yes, you heard me right. Scroll past if you don't care, but please read if you want to be educated on why I think this.
It has come to my attention that Lee Soo man is not the current CEO of SM Entertainment. It is actually run by a women of the name Kim Youngmin, who has been running it since 2010. She took over because Soo man stopped working as the CEO in order to take care of his sick wife, who sadly passed away six years ago.
Lee Soo man is not running SM Entertainment. It is Kim Youngmin. Kim Youngmin is the one controlling schedules. Kim Youngmin is the one not saying anything about unfair line distribution. Kim Youngmin is the one that orders the people of SM, the ones who overwork the idols, the one who favourites members over other members, the ones who mistreat idols. That is not Lee Soo man's fault.
It has also come to my attention that SM Entertainment does not stand for Soo man Entertainment (although it did) , but Star Musuem instead. The only true thing that Soo man controls is the ideas of creating groups (sadly, he did create the disaster that is the rotation of Nct, but still love all 21 members). This means to the fans angry at Lee Soo Man for not possibly getting another exo album before the members head to military or the fact that Mark missed the Dreamies first concert or angry about the action that were not taking for idols that were attacked by online haters, direct your hate elsewhere or get rid of it all together.
This is a man who created a business because he had a vision in mind. If you look back at older videos you can see that Lee Soo man was close to his idols and they even jokes around with him. And I've seen the videos of where he comes to Superm's concert and how proud he was of them debuting. Heck, He may be the only reason Chen hasn't been kicked from EXO. We don't know this man's life just like we don't know idols' lives. We need to stop hating and start educating people.
The hate is getting too much for both idols and people in general. Instead of hating on people for saying the wrong thing, culturally appropriating or being uneducated in matters, instead of attacking them, educate them. I'm not saying you're not allowed be angry, but that person doesn't know they're being insensitive so let them realize the problem before judging. Thank you.
