Min Heejin recalls during her time as a director at SM Ent., Lee Sooman sent emails to everyone that said, "Hey, you guys don't know anything, just do whatever Min Heejin says." She said he's an enlightened person.

-Because she has a good nose for money...

-She must instinctively know the scent of money.

-Because money is the only thing Lee Sooman is after... Unlike that someone who throws tantrums at the person who brought lots of money to his company.

-I'm curious about how she works...

-Told y'all, she has really good instincts.

-He has an incredible nose for money.

-As long as it smells like money, it's an OK from me~~

-He's truly different from that you-know-who

-Regardless of anything else, this grandpa's got a sharp instinct.

-Whoa... That's exactly the reason why he's still going strongㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If it were Lee Sooman, he would've been carrying NewJeans around like a trophyㅋㅋㅋㅋ (I'm not glorifying Lee Sooman)

-Lee Sooman also has great aesthetic senseㅋㅋ So he must have liked what Min Heejin was producing.

I heard these are the trainees that was picked by lee Sooman

 

His style is still exactly the sameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

instiz

-They don't seem to be Korean.

-Is that Yoo Youngjin next to Lee Sooman?

-Wow, aren't they like his grandkids' age now, seriously?

-Wow, they look so youngㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, but with Lee Sooman and Yoo Youngjin... Whatever they do, it seems like they'll succeedㅋㅋㅋ

-Are they Chinese?

-The combination of Lee Sooman and Yoo Youngjin really can't fail, thoughㅠ

-They're total babies.

-The blurry one at the bottom right is Chinese; I saw a video of him dancing on YouTube.

-Whether they're Chinese or Korean, I hope they debut soon... I'm curious.

-Is Lee Sooman starting another entertainment company?

-All three of them have that SM idol look... Lee Sooman's type is really consistent.

-Oh, he's launching a boy group, huh? Why did I assume it would be a girl group?

-He likes China, so aren't they all Chinese? People say he can't pick Korean trainees yet because of the contract with Bang Sihyuk?

-Yoo Youngjin and Lee Sooman... at least the buzz is going to be huge.

Lee Sooman registers 'A20 Entertainment' trademark ... What about his 'non-compete' clause with HYBE?

by Journalist Jeon Dahyun

According to Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service, Blooming Grace (led by former CEO Lee Sooman) applied for the trademark 'A20 Entertainment' on May 3rd. 

Blooming Grace registered this trademark under various product classifications such as entertainment business, video gaming devices, advertising, real estate, downloadable media, advisory services for animal care, clothing, transportation and design services, food and beverage provision services, medical services, and legal services. 

This trademark has been registered as a 'domestic trademark.' Last year, Lee Sooman promised not to engage in the domestic entertainment business for 3 years after signing contracts with HYBE and SM. However, Blooming Grace's objectives are registered as research and studies on management, economics, capital markets, real estate trading and leasing, not entertainment business. 

Lee Sooman previously parted ways with SM Ent. in March last year, then he established Blooming Grace and embarked on ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) project activities. Lee Sooman's decision to not establish a new domestic entertainment company and focus on ESG activities abroad is because of the 'non-compete' clause they signed with HYBE. This clause prohibits Lee Sooman from employing SM Ent. employees or signing contracts with SM Ent. artists for the next three years. This might be why Lee Sooman has shifted his focus overseas. He was reported to hold auditions in China last July. 

theqoo

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's probably because he actually didn't want to leave SM Ent. He's someone who has only been in the entertainment busniness, so I'm not really surprised. 

-This grandpa is really amazingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's really amazing. It's surprising that he still wants to do something at his ageㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It would be hilarious if he partners with Min Heejin and does something.

-Until how much longer does he want to keep starting businesses?

-Honestly, I'm looking forward to it...

-His passion makes me want to re-evaluate my life... 

-He's full of energy.

-This grandpa is amazing in many ways.

-Wow, I thought he would take it easy because of his age and health.

-I'm jealous for the fact that he still works until his 70s...

-He can spend those three years training some trainees. When the clause expires, he can sign him with his entertainment company and debut them.

-It's probably not just for money, right? He just doesn't want to rest?

-Grandpa, I'll be looking forward to it!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's really impressive that he still wants to do something at 70 while all his friends retire and play gold. There's a lot to learn from his overflowing enthusiasm and creativityㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why does he keep working?

-Wow, even with plenty of money, it seems like he's built for the entertainment industry.

The reaction of these big 3 companies' CEOs if New Jeans were under their companies

 

Lee Sooman

He would blatantly boast about New Jeans

YG: Girls, the dance practice schedule is very tight. You guys might not be able to practice on Monday since you have to film an advertisement. So, let's practice hard today and tomorrow... On Tuesday, except for Lisa, come out early for practice. I'll go and make some slight adjustments (Lisa will join after the advertisement in the evening)

J: ㅜㅠㅠ Is your throat okay?bb

JS: Yes!! We will adjust the schedule!! Don't get sick

#BLACKPINK #Kids_with_beautiful_hearts #Starting_serious_dance_practice_today 

Yang Hyunsuk

He would share pictures of him and New Jeans together, along with a screenshot of their Kakao Talk messages, boasting subtly.

Park Jinyoung

He would do a dance cover and give the girls a shout out as he boasts his ownself

theqoo

-Bang PD: Ignores New Jeans' greetings.

-Park Jinyoungㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah, everything's making sense nowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Park Jinyoung would do a cover of 'Hype Boy'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋIt's funny, but not funny... After seeing this, I feel even more sorry for New Jeans.

-Park Jinyoung would dress himself in that iconic vinyl suit and sing 'Hype Boy'

-It'd be hilarious if Park Jinyoung appeared in New Jeans' music videoㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Park Jinyoung: Does a collaboration stage at the year-end awards ceremony.

-Park Jinyoung would probably perform New Jeans' songs more than the girls doㅋㅋㅋ

-Park Jinyoung: Makes an appearance in Ditto MV

-Park Jinyoung would probably throw a tantrum to Min Heejin and ask her to create a song like 'Hype Boy' for him. But then, Min Heejin would reject his request. And Park Jinyoung would throw another tantrum, asking her to cast him as the lead in New Jeans' MV. Which Min Heejin would reject. Park Jinyoung ends up being invited to New Jeans' year-end stage, where he wears a glamorous suit, stands in the center and performs a flashy dance, overshadowing the girls. In the end, he would get hate comments from Bunnies.

-I think Park Jinyoung would release a track in response to 'Hype Boy' that says something like 'I've got a Hype Girl', or something like that

-I think Park Jinyoung would've taken 'Hype Boy' and release it for himself

-Park Jinyoung: Invades New Jeans' year-end stage

I can't help but laugh at the thought of Lee Sooman doing this if New Jeans was under his company

 

Reactions: 'He'll make an entrance while dancing to Hype Boy' 

He danced to 'Next Level' when Aespa hit big...

theqoo

-I think SM wouldn't even care if they don't make any money

-If New Jeans was in SM, they would've released an orchestra version of Ditto

-He probably would dance like crazy since he's also crazy about moneyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn't it natural for a chairman of a company to adore their artists who earn a lot of money?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Grandpa... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If you hold a top position in your company, you should embrace your artists instead of ignoring them and sulk like a child.

-On a side note, I feel like if New Jeans were in JYP, Park Jin Young would've released Hype Boy as his own song instead of giving it to New Jeans

-I can't deny that he really loves his artists

-It's normal to act like that to the artists who generate money for you. It's just that Bang Sihyuk is abnormal.

-This gif is so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is it NCT Dream??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-As long as they make a lot of money, Lee Sooman would clap like a seal, sing, and even dance for themㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is NCT's system similar to AKB48's..?

-I heard he was busy doing auditions in Indonesia to pick some new members for NCT..

-He's literally saying the same thing in every country he goes..

-You might flop in your home country at this rate..

-Forget about that, do something about Ten..ㅠㅠ

-Ugh.. Seriously..

-NCT actually has a big potential, they could've hit really big if only Sooman chose the right song, it's such a pity..

-That's what he says in every country he goes.. He's just blabbering..

-F(x)'s comeback please..
