Chapter 2556 Unsettled music scene

2014 was definitely a very uneasy year for the Korean music scene.

As Dongfang Shenqi disintegrated, he began to completely step down from the altar. EXO began to rise, just like Dongfang Shenqi, he took on the banner of S.M in the music industry as always.

Among Solo singers, although IU is still at its peak, he seems a little tired and cannot compare with the absolute peak in the past two years from 2011 to 2012, and he has just joined the top group and is not at all inferior.

Kim Jong Kook, the second triumphant champion, has completely devoted himself to the variety show career, and Lee Hyo-ri, who had the phenomenon at the beginning, got married and had children last year, and then lived in seclusion in Jeju Island.

BigBang also rarely did not continue to make trouble in the music industry, and began to develop solo, and they all developed very low-key.

More importantly, Girls Generation member Jessica was withdrawn from Girls Generation this year, which definitely caused a sensation in the entire South Korea.

After all, this is Girls' Generation! To be honest, Girls' Generation is definitely a girl group that has developed to its limit among Korean girl groups. Even the three legendary girl groups, Fin.K.L, SES and Baby V.O.X, have not done this.

The three legendary girl groups are also very outstanding, but at least at the same time, they were still suppressed by top boy groups such as HOT and Crystal Boys. Only Girls' Generation, at its peak, could not suppress Girls' Generation, whether Super Junior or BigBang. Even the Oriental Godqi, who has developed to the limit of the boy group, only relied on the terrifying number of 800,000 fans, seemed to suppress Girls' Generation in terms of momentum, but in fact it was not really suppressed Girls' Generation.

In short, at its peak, Girls' Generation was definitely strong and qualified. It was confronted with any top boy group in Korea and was not at all inferior. Therefore, the incident of Jessica being withdrawn from the group caused such a sensation and was regarded by the outside world as a symbol of the decline of Girls' Generation.

This is normal. It is impossible for any team in South Korea to be unaffected after the members withdrew. Once this influence comes out, it will make this group go downhill and it will be difficult for them to rise again.

However, Girls' Generation is Girls' Generation after all. Even after Jessica withdrew, Girls' Generation was greatly affected, but it still maintained its absolute dominance as always. Although it could not confront BigBang head-on without losing weight, it also maintained its strength and absolute competitiveness without fear of BigBang.

Well~~~ You said why Jessica was quit the group, which is even simpler. Jessica is not a fool either. Of course, she knows how helpful it is to me as one of the members of Girls’ Generation. And it is because of her own business investment that she was quit the group. If she can continue to be a member of Girls’ Generation, it will definitely have a very great publicity effect on her products.

Jessica is not a fool. Of course, she knows how to choose to be beneficial to her. Unfortunately, S.M did not cooperate and directly caused Jessica to be withdrawn from the group, which also caused a sensation in the Korean music scene.

Well, this is what S.M Company does have the courage that other brokerage companies do not have when dealing with its artists. Whether it is HOT, SES, or mythical combination, it will be disbanded if it says it is disbanded, and you don’t want it if it says it is not. And they are still at the peak of the group. Although S.M considers long-term interests, it is definitely impossible for other brokerage companies to disband or not to decisively at the peak of these three combinations.

If it were other brokerage companies, they would definitely make concessions so that the group would renew their contracts, and then continue to squeeze out the value of the group. When the peak period of the group has passed, there is no value before discarding it.

However, this is definitely not the style of S.M. The style of S.M. is very simple. For disobedient artists, no matter what their status and status, no matter how much value they are, they will be completely solved without mercy, and will even crazily suppress and ban you, completely destroying you.

This is the style of S.M for artists. It is definitely a tough one, and there is no sympathy to talk about!

Of course, you have to admire S.M. This is that no matter how many super combinations with a bright future are destroyed, S.M can continue to cultivate excellent combinations. Even if they are ridiculed as idol combination products, it is undeniable that these so-called assembly line idol combination products are indeed popular and influential, and can bring S.M. a steady stream of revenue.

All of these things, including the later disintegration of the Oriental God Qi, Han Geng withdrew from Super Junior, and the successive withdrawal of EXO Chinese members, all proved the toughness of S.M, and the response measures and response speed to some emergencies.

No matter how many people hate S.M, they have to admit that S.M's strength is there. As the top brokerage company in the Korean music industry, S.M's experience and ability, including energy, are beyond doubt, and are even so powerful that they can do their own things to a certain extent, and they are not in the reactions and feelings of the fans who they usually care about the most.

Of course I won’t care. If I care, will HOT and SES still disband?

In short, S.M's attitude towards its artists is very simple and clear, that is, it is very tough and there is no possibility of compromise at all. Under this circumstance, Girls' Generation is of course not easy to live. As Kim Young-min decided to withdraw Jessica from Girls' Generation, but she was united by the nine people in Girls' Generation. How could Kim Young-min not feel particularly angry?

But considering various factors, the most important thing is that Girls' Generation is very popular and has great influence, and more importantly, Girls' Generation has a high value. The Oriental God Qi just broke up, and now there are members of Girls' Generation withdrew. This has a great impact on S.M Company, especially on S.M Company's stock.

There are problems with the photos and pillar combinations of S.M companies, Dongfang Shenqi and Girls' Generation, which will definitely cause the stock value of S.M. At that time, those who hold a lot of shares in S.M. will also suffer heavy losses due to the stock value of S.M., and at that time, they will definitely be the first to jump out to destroy Kim Young-min.

Because of this, no matter how angry Kim Young-min was, as a qualified businessman, he forced himself to suppress his anger and took it aside, intending to be cold for a while, and then turn around to the Girls' Generation after the disintegration of Dongfang Shenqi passed.

Now that the storm of Dongfang Shenqi's disintegration has gradually disappeared, the lawsuit has been completed, Kim Young-min has only refocused on Girls' Generation, especially when he thinks of Jessica who is rebellious and dares to disobey, this also makes Kim Young-min firmly determined to kick Jessica out of Girls' Generation.

What a joke, as an artist under S.M Company, he dares to be rebellious and disobedient. Isn’t this seeking death? S.M Company’s attitude towards artists is to be tough, and there must be no concessions or compromises at all. This is the bottom line and a matter of principle.

Therefore, when we entered 2014, under Kim Young-min's row, the resources of Girls' Generation were significantly reduced, and S.M's promotion and support for Girls' Generation were also significantly smaller. All of this was just laying the foundation or making preparations. When the time was about the same, Kim Young-min would strike out and completely deal with Jessica, a disobedient person.

Well, even if Kim Young-min was cultivated by gritting her teeth and insisting on cultivating her Girls Generation, Kim Young-min can even hold the biggest capital and supporter of the president of S.M Company, but this is useless.

Kim Young-min is like Lee Soo-man in this regard. It seems that as long as he sits in the position of S.M company president, his attitude towards artists will be completely changed. He does not care whether the other person is his own person or not, but only cares whether the other person is obedient.

Of course, this is also the reason why Kim Young-min has completely settled in the position of S.M company president. Otherwise, Kim Young-min would not dare to take action against Girls' Generation. A few years ago, Girls' Generation was Kim Young-min's greatest capital and pride. She fully supports Girls' Generation, helps Girls' Generation develop, and takes care of every member of Girls' Generation, and will take action against Girls' Generation there.

However, once his status is stable, he seems to be affected by the unique toughness of the S.M company president throne. Because Jessica is disobedient and Girls' Generation is disobedient, Kim Young-min has begun to focus on Girls' Generation and is ready to take action against Girls' Generation.

Perhaps, there is indeed a problem with the position of president of S.M. After anyone takes it, he will basically not take the artists under the company seriously. Once he leaves, he will recover. The most typical one is Li Xiuman.

When Lee Soo-man completely acknowledged that Kim Young-min, the president, knew that in a short period of time, when Kim Young-min did not make any mistakes, he could not get the president's throne, so he did not continue to fight with Kim Young-min, so he would not affect the development of S.M company due to the struggle between the two.

In fact, Li Xiuman doesn’t have an artist director at all times, so it’s hard for you to ask Li Xiuman to come to the company every day and fulfill his responsibilities as an artist director. This is impossible and unrealistic.

Without continuing to sit on the throne of the president, it seemed that Li Xiuman's attitude towards the company's artists had obvious or even fundamental changes. There was no longer the tyrants and Yi Ren Tang, but on the contrary, there was only a gentle, laughing and very "kind" Li Xiuman.

Why is it "kindness" instead of kindness? Why are the quotes? It's just Li Xiuman's strong successes, and Li Xiuman's face. No matter how much she smiles, it probably won't give people a kind feeling. On the contrary, it will only give people a sneer. A smile on her face and a sinister feeling can definitely make people feel uncomfortable.

However, that was only because of Lee Soo-man's appearance. When he did not continue to sit in the president's position, Lee Soo-man seemed to have recovered, or he became very kind and friendly as if he had completely changed his personality. He was no longer the kind of artists who used to be except for BOA and Kim Heechul's goddaughter and son, the remaining artists were rubbish in their eyes and were not important at all. They would deal with the fucking hair directly, and then ban and suppress them completely destroyed the other party.

After not serving as the president of S.M Company, Li Xiuman has indeed changed and he will basically care about the artists under S.M Company. Whether it is work or life, this will definitely make the artists of S.M Company very uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it.

But I have to admit that Li Xiuman may be more suitable for being the artist director. He did a very good job in this regard and gradually became an elder recognized and respected by artists under S.M Company, rather than the previous tyrant.

Now, Kim Young-min has been seated as the president of S.M., and naturally, he is also affected by this position. He has become a little unrecognizable to his artists and is unwilling tolerant of any inconvenience.

Now, the storm of the disintegration of the Eastern God Qi has just passed and has subsided. Now Kim Young-min has already set her sights on Girls' Generation and decided that Jessica must kick out Girls' Generation. Jessica is a trouble in Girls' Generation. She is brave but has a deep experience. She usually takes the lead and resists Girls' Generation and says no to the company. So Jessica is definitely a thorn. In order to better manage Girls' Generation in the future, Jessica must kick out Girls' Generation and drive out S.M Company.

At the same time, Kim Young-min also plans to take this opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and tell the owner of S.M that even if it is the Girls' Generation he trained, if someone is disobedient, then he will never be polite, let alone you, be careful and honest.

Since 2014, in order to solve the problems in Girls' Generation and solve the problems in their eyes, Kim Young-min has started to prepare. This is enough to be seen from the significant reduction in Girls' Generation's resources.

Now, Girls' Generation dormitory has reached its peak and its income has increased significantly. In addition, after a long time of debut, Girls' Generation, which has been relaxed in management by the agency, is rare for everyone to gather in the dormitory.

You should know that unless you are working, the members of Girls' Generation will return to their homes to rest, and the next day they will rush to the cosmetics shop to gather with other members, and even go directly to the itinerary to wait for other members.

Basically, except for Kim Taeyeon, only Tiffany is still in the dormitory. As for other members, they will return to their homes during rest, and they will basically not sleep in the dormitory anyway.

Now, nine people from Girls' Generation gathered in the dormitory in a rare manner, and each of them had serious expressions, and began to discuss the issue.

"Okay, don't be silent. This year, the company's attitude towards our Girls' Generation has changed fundamentally. Everyone is involved, so I don't talk nonsense. After all, everyone can see it and feel it very clearly. Now, we must have a decision, what should we do, and we can't wait to die."

Looking at the silent members, Kim Taeyeon rarely became tough: "You know, our company's attitude towards artists is well-known, HOT, SES, and mythological combinations, I won't talk about it. I just hope that something unpleasant will not happen to our Girls' Generation."

"What's there to say about this? The company clearly wants to put pressure on us and let us bow our heads and admit defeat. How is this possible!" Kim Hyo-yeon said frankly and very unhappy: "At this time, we must grit our teeth and persevere, and we must not give in at all. Once we bow our heads and admit defeat, the company will definitely be even more excessive. At that time, our lives will probably be even more miserable and sadder."

Choi Soo-young: "If you don't say anything else, then the company asks Jessica to quit Girls' Generation. What should we do? Should we agree or disagree?"

Of course, the Girls Generation members knew what Kim Young Min was thinking. After all, the Girls Generation members were also asked by S.M in private to talk to each other. Although they did not say it very clearly, they directly pointed the contradiction at Jessica, vaguely revealing that they hope that the Girls Generation members can cooperate with the company and then act in a good show to kick Jessica out of Girls Generation.

Choi Soo-young's words immediately made the scene silent. Yes, no matter what, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. At this time, you must not give in at all. Once you give in, Jessica will be completely in trouble.

Moreover, as a good sister who has experienced countless pains and hardships and enjoyed countless honors over the years, although Jessica has become a little cold and has a little violent temper, and is still in the late stage of lazy cancer. More importantly, she is very angry when she wakes up. It is definitely a time bomb. The members have been bombed over the years.

But no matter how much you say, Jessica has known everyone for so many years, and has experienced her debut together, the Black Sea, encouraged and supported each other, and then survived until now.

More importantly, in many cases, Jessica would take the initiative to stand up and win benefits for Girls' Generation. The final result is that Girls' Generation did gain benefits, but Jessica, who is the leader, was angry and dissatisfied by the company's senior management.

This is also why Kim Young-min plans to kick Jessica out of Girls' Generation. Don't talk about low-level excuses such as conflict between personal career and Girls' Generation career. Let me ask many singers who are famous now have no side jobs and who do not have their own personal careers, but this does not affect the artist's career.

After all, it is because Girls’ Generation has the existence of Jessica and with Jessica taking the lead, they will become tough and start to say no to the company, or reject some arrangements.

Feeling that Girls' Generation is becoming more and more restless, or that it is a little uncontrollable, it is necessary to take the results. Jessica, the leading girl in Girls' Generation, is undoubtedly the main goal of S.M.

They are all good sisters for so many years, and no one wants Jessica to quit Girls' Generation, which is absolutely not possible. Therefore, everyone can only remain silent, and there is nothing to say except silence.

Of course, the pressure given by the company was felt by the Girls Generation members, and they also felt it very clearly. But this does not mean that Girls Generation must give in, because every member of Girls Generation knows that once this time, S.M will definitely make more and more excessive demands, and at the same time, Jessica will be really dangerous.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, so don't worry about me. It's okay. Now everyone should consider that we are getting less and less resources, and the company's support and publicity efforts are getting smaller and smaller. What should we do in the future?"

Jessica stood up, looked at the eight good sisters and said seriously.
Chapter completed!
