Lee Soo Man: King of K-Pop OTT Release Date - If you've ever danced to EXO, swooned over Super Junior, or had aespa on repeat, you¡¯ve got one man to thank - Lee Soo Man. The legendary founder of SM Entertainment is finally stepping into the spotlight (for better or worse) in a new tell-all documentary dropping on Amazon Prime Video on May 13. But don¡¯t expect a fluff piece. This one¡¯s got glitz, drama, boardroom backstabbing, and a soundtrack that changed pop forever.
Before BTS, before BLACKPINK, there was Lee Soo Man - the man who laid the foundation of the entire K-pop empire. This isn¡¯t just a docu on some music exec. It¡¯s about the OG K-pop architect who turned a small South Korean entertainment company into a global wave. He's the founder of SM Entertainment, the label behind EXO, Girls¡¯ Generation, Super Junior, NCT, and aespa. Without him, your favourite K-pop playlist probably wouldn¡¯t exist.
Directed by Ting Poo (yep, the brains behind Val), the film explores:
The drama? Corporate clashes, secret deals, and even his nephew turning against him (yikes). Lee later sold his shares to HYBE (aka BTS¡¯s label), sparking a full-blown K-pop company war involving Kakao and some major executive backstabbing.
Think Lee¡¯s retiring? Nope. He¡¯s back with a new label, A2O Entertainment and a bold new sound he¡¯s calling Zalpha Pop (Gen Z + Alpha vibes, get it?). His new girl group A2O MAY is already creating buzz and is about to perform at iHeartRadio¡¯s Wango Tango, just days after the documentary drops. Coincidence? Not likely.
