Lee Soo-man, former executive producer of SM Entertainment, has begun preparing to launch a new idol group.
As a result of the Maeil Business Star Today report on the 10th, it was confirmed that Lee Soo-man is currently selecting idol trainees and recruiting producers on a national level. Although it is not a large-scale open audition, Lee Soo-man's side is currently working fiercely behind the scenes to gather talented male and female idol trainees. In fact, one trainee who was cast is known to be from Gyeongnam, not Seoul.
Lee Soo-man applied for the trademark of "A2O Entertainment" through his private company Blooming Grace earlier this year. A2O Entertainment includes entertainment and entertainment businesses, raising speculation that Lee Soo-man may return as a producer. This is why Lee Soo-man is expected to launch an idol group through this trainee casting. However, there is also a possibility that Lee Soo-man can launch an idol group from an entertainment company other than a private company.
When Lee Soo-man sold his shares to Hive in February last year, he signed a "no competition" agreement not to produce albums in Korea for three years. With about a year and four months left before the clause is lifted, Lee Soo-man's return to the entertainment business is enough time to start.
In addition, Lee Soo-man is reportedly planning to recruit a large number of new producers to support producer Yoo Young-jin, who has been with him since his SM Entertainment days. Eco Music Rights, a publishing company affiliated with Culture Technology Group Asia, which he founded in 2015, is expected to select its producer from here. It has been confirmed that Lee already owns an office building in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and has a studio.
Earlier in June, Lee Soo-man was seen talking with boys believed to be idol trainees in China, leaving questions about his move. Recently, a U.S. Korean Wave media reported that Lee Soo-man, Sunny, and Yoo Young-jin were seen walking on the streets side by side in Shanghai, China. In addition, Lee Soo-man has also appeared in various forums in Korea, revealing his presence.
Attention is focusing on what kind of results SM Entertainment's iconic figures Lee Soo-man and Yoo Young-jin will produce in the new environment.
