Perhaps money is a number for the capital of the entertainment industry. In the case of South Korean entertainment giant Lee So-man, money may no longer be his greatest pursuit.
On July 21, according to South Korean media reports, Li Xiuman, the largest shareholder of sm entertainment, casually gave a villa to a female journalist who was 17 years younger than him, which Li Xiuman purchased for 3.97 billion won in 2015, and the current market value of the property is 5 billion won (about 28.03 million yuan). Such a big hand, Li Xiuman can do it.
So why did Li Xiuman give such an expensive property to a 17-year-old female reporter?
According to the information of the breaking media, the female reporter works in the Korean branch of a North American television station, has outstanding beauty and intellectuality, and the cultural industry forum hosted by her has been supported by SM Entertainment for two consecutive years. Of course, for these revelations, sm entertainment's response to this matter has nothing to do with the company's business, and it is completely Li Xiuman's personal behavior.
In fact, Li Xiuman will give away expensive real estate to this female reporter, which is also very understandable.
Li Xiuman, 69, is already a representative of successful people. Singer-turned-singer Lee So-man took out the 200 million won savings accumulated from part-time work and founded Sm Entertainment. Li Xiuman's success lies in setting off a burst of Korean Pop and cultivating many top stars, such as Zhang Yixing, Huang Zitao, Wu Yifan, Lu Han and others, who were once artists under SM Entertainment, and now any of the four of them can set off a storm in the entertainment industry.
The birth of sm entertainment is a very important milestone in the Korean performing arts industry, and the biggest advantage of Lee So-man is that he can truly let the art company tap the artist resources, educate and train the artist, and make the artist embark on the road to stardom. People often say "Korean Wave", in the middle, it is indispensable to Lee So-man's push, so it is not too much to say that Lee So-man has achieved the Korean entertainment industry, and Lee So-man is also called "the president of the cultural circle" by the Korean media.
However, even if Li Xiuman has more capital, he can't be healthy in the end. In December 2012, Lee So-man's wife, Kim Eun-jin, was diagnosed with small bowel cancer and died on September 30, 2014. And Li Xiuman's two sons are also in Los Angeles, so Li Xiuman has no relatives around him, which is undoubtedly difficult for the 69-year-old to accept.
The death of his wife for 7 years means that Li Xiuman has been single for 7 years, for Li Xiuman, who has achieved fame, he does not lack money, he does not lack name, the only thing that is missing is the sustenance of feelings. Therefore, even the 17-year-old female journalist is 52 years old, and for their age, it is understandable to become each other's emotional sustenance, so Li Xiuman used the company's resources to assist the cultural industry forum hosted by the female journalist, which can already explain some things.
Lee Soo-man is South Korea's "president of the cultural circle", has his own pursuit, for the same cultural pursuit of female journalists, there should be a common concept between the two, even if this female reporter is Lee So-man's gossip girlfriend, it is not a strange thing, so it is not incomprehensible to give away a villa worth 5 billion.
Li Xiuman's dynamics have always affected the Korean entertainment industry and even foreign entertainment circles, if this 17-year-old reporter is really his girlfriend, then I believe that they will find each other's happiness under the same pursuit and the same concept.
