Recently, a netizen who claimed to be an employee of SM Company broke the news on the forum that the company was poorly managed, unable to protect good artists, and there was also the problem of deducting employees' wages. What's even more shocking is that the netizen also revealed that 70 employees of SM have resigned this month, and said that "employees and artists are going to abandon SM". This revelation immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.
Some media combed and found that in recent years, more than 20 big-name artists have left SM Company. This series of resignations and public opinion doubts can't help but make people question the internal management and treatment of artists in SM Company. As one of the most famous entertainment agencies in South Korea, SM has produced many Hallyu stars, but now it is being questioned by public opinion.
Especially after Li Xiuman's resignation, everyone felt that SM was not as good as before. Lee so-man is regarded as a pioneer in the K-pop era, and singers and idols such as H.O.T, Boa, TVXQ, S.E.S, EXO, and Girls' Generation have ushered in the era of "visual music". He is considered the backbone of the company.
SM has not yet responded to this revelation. But the discussion of netizens about this incident is intensifying. Is it the company's mismanagement, or the unfair treatment of artists and employees, that has triggered such a chain reaction? How will SM respond to such a crisis in the future? Who can turn the tide? At present, there is no suitable candidate, and everyone is a little disheartened.
Regardless of the final outcome, this incident undoubtedly serves SM as a warning: the legitimate rights and interests of artists and employees cannot be ignored, and the loopholes in the company's internal management must be patched in a timely manner, otherwise it will bring huge challenges to the company's reputation and development. In the future, SM will conduct a comprehensive internal review and improvement under the supervision of public opinion and society, re-establish a good corporate image, and become a company trusted by employees and artists.
