SM Entertainment’s Fans Expressed Criticism Towards Lee Soo Man and HYBE

The Korean media report further revealed that SM Entertainment fans and loyalist sent the LED trucks to protest against SM and HYBE issues, particularly Lee Soo Man. 

Using multiple harsh expressions and language, the LED trucks showed various criticisms towards Lee Soo Man and HYBE. And according to the trucks, they were sent by “numerous SM fans” and “all the fans of SM who oppose HYBE’s monopoly”.

And the messages on the LED trucks were as follows:

  • “Interpol-wanted Lee Soo Man, just go plant trees. Do not covet SM 3.0!”
  • “Kpop genius, HYBE, take care of your XX, we’ll take care of our XX.”
  • “A crazy company that spends 10 billion (KRW) to plant trees for Lee Soo Man, that’s HYBE.”
  • “SM fans union are against HYBE’s monopoly. We support SM.”
  • “HYBE, we believe in music money.”
  • “Do not touch SM artists, and don’t bring slander to HYBE artists.” 
  • Etc.

Along with the LED truck protests, SM Entertainment fans and loyalists revealed that they conducted the protests because of their deep concerns. These fans became close to one another under the premise of their deep affection toward SM artists. 

According to the fans, they have liked SM’s productions since they were still kids. However, SM’s management issue became so severe that Lee Soo Man decided to trade his own stake to his biggest rival, HYBE. Due to this issue, fans were furious and disappointed.

“Lee Soo Man was the person whom our artists always respected as their ‘teacher’. But greed blinded him, and he turned the company into this situation.” 

SM Entertainment fans.

Due to this disappointment about SM and HYBE issue, they decided to send the trucks to express their protests and support SM’s current management’s 3.0 projects.

The Protests Surprised Korean Netizens

In response to the report, Korean netizens expressed their surprise toward fans’ responses to SM Entertainment controversy.

According to the netizens, what SM Entertainment fans did was sick and directed at the wrong party. Instead of sending the trucks to HYBE, they should’ve expressed their protests to SM Entertainment and Lee Soo Man himself. And most importantly, Korean netizens believe the LED truck protests were sick and embarrassing.

  • They’re crazy. Why are they taking it out on HYBE?
  • Shouldn’t they send the trucks to SM? SM is the one who’s been acting like a bully for decades. Look at yourself, and don’t ruin Kpop. It’s so fricking funny.
  • They’re sick.
  • Cartel actions?
  • No matter how much time passes, it’s strange that gangsters’ emotions and mindsets remain the same.

Finally, what do you think about fans’ protest on SM and HYBE issue? Do you believe that SM Entertainment controversy will be ending soon? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Also, stay with Kpoppost Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, & Telegram channel for more updates.
