Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

After Jin Zhaomin finished teasing his grown-up brother, he looked at the people in the Dream Group and asked curiously, "Why are you all here today?"

Luo Zaimin reminded quietly: "Nuna, we have a collaboration song with Yilin Nuna, we need to practice together."

"Yelin?" A hint of doubt appeared on Kim So-min's face.

Kim Ye-lin nodded silently when she was called, and replied, "It's a collaboration song between me, Renjun, Dinu, and Jaemin, the OST of Trolls, 'Hair in the Air'."

Kim So Min suddenly remembered that it seemed to be true. The OST they collaborated on was a very cheerful dance song.

At this time, Kaichan, Chenle, and Jisung also came over and said, “We also have a collaboration song, ‘Best Day Ever’.”

Kim So Min: "Have you started preparing so early? Won't it be announced in December?"

Kim Ye-lin sighed, "There is a family concert in July, and we will debut in Japan and return in August... The time is already very tight, and this OST can only be produced at this time."

Kim So Min was surprised: "We still want to debut in an island country?"

Seulgi couldn't help but laugh: "Ah, did you fall asleep during the meeting?"

Kim So-min clasped his hands together and said, "Oh, sorry. I think I fell asleep."

Pei Zhuxuan hit her with a funny punch: "No, it's not like that. You just fell asleep."

Then, Bae Joo Hyun asked again, "Do you still remember the subway song plan?"

“Remember this.”

After all, it is one of the company's plans, she must remember it.

SM Metro Songs is a project that the company started in 2016, which breaks away from the traditional album release method.

It's basically all niche music, because the quality of the music is mostly not high, and most of the sources are unknown, and for the general public, subway stations have no value.

SM Family fans don’t pay attention, basically only fans of the artist who sang the songs pay attention.

But the subway can keep artists exposed, and allow SM planning to experiment and figure out which plans and music producers can work with SM in the future.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhaomin couldn't help but start to wonder if he had forgotten something again, so he asked: "Don't we have a subway song too..."

Haechan quickly said, “Nuna, we are NCT who have subway songs.”

Luo Zaimin further explained: "The members of NCT 00 and 99 will form a U team to sing subway songs."

"Jaemin, do you want to participate too?" asked Kim So-min.

"Of course." Luo Zaimin answered without hesitation.

Kim So-min: “Thank you for your hard work.”

The kids from the two teams just came back from their trip. It was really hard for them, staying up late every day.

However, being an idol is hard work, and for this industry, the least noteworthy thing is the hard work.

Anyway, for them, the more work the better, it is better than staying in the practice room and picking their toes.

Mark and Kaichan, who had returned seamlessly throughout the year, couldn’t help but shudder when they heard her words.

Kaichan said with a bitter face: "Young couple, can you please consider our feelings."

Kim So-min raised an eyebrow: "I said 'you have worked hard'."

He smoothly switched to a sweet tone: "N-thank you, princess nim."

He muttered quietly: "We are working very hard..."

Employees who work hard and earn money for the company can get rewards from their boss.

Although Kim So-min likes to make empty promises, she always gets what she wants in the end.

"Then work harder."

Kaichan Mark's face was pale and he looked like he was about to vomit his soul.

Kim So Min smiled and gave them a tip for their hard work: "Your album coming back in September will be a double hit, so practice hard and sing well recently."

Park Ji-sung asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't they say there was only one song, 'WE GO UP'?"

Bae Joo Hyun smiled with her lips pursed and reminded them: "Guess who wrote the new title song?"

Luo Zaimin was the first to react. He looked at Jin Zhaomin in surprise and said, "Could it be written by Nu Na?"

When the children heard this, they immediately started talking at once, and the room was instantly turned into a vegetable market.

"Really?!"

“Nuna——!”

Kim So-min quickly said, "Really, really." At the same time, she covered her ears and said, "Keep your voice down, kids."

Dongshen, SJ, Girls' Generation, Shanhan, and EXO all got the songs she wrote to release in the order of their debut, which added a pension insurance for each team.

Kim So Min's behavior of keeping things in balance ended before she won the award. After winning the award, she could no longer give away her collection of unused songs as easily as before.

The songs written with her name can only be masterpieces.

The new song for the Dream Team was also written by Kim So-min after she saw Luo Zaimin release a lot of Dream Team compilations recently and was impressed by their youthfulness.

Kaichan and Chenle are her loyal fans. Although the songs of big groups are good, they are too "burning" and "war songs", which are not the most lyrical styles that big lead singers like them like.

The children, who originally thought they could only get the song from the big group 2017, immediately cheered with joy.

The seventh little brother turned his shining eyes to her, trying to persuade her with soft and hard methods, to get her to spoil the plot in advance.

In fact, this news should have been passed to them by A&R in the next two days, but Kim So-min pretended to be unmoved.

Chen Le closed his eyes and made up his mind: "There is no other way, this is the only way..."

Park Ji-sung next to him looked confused.

Chen Le patted Park Ji-sung's shoulder and said, "Paki-san! For the spoiler, give us your big head!"

Park Ji-sung brushed his hand away speechlessly, his eyes falling on Luo Zaimin, whose smile was about to soar to the sky.

The six people looked at each other. The tacit understanding over the years made them smile inexplicably. At this time, they did not care about the power of real power. They surrounded Luo Zaimin.

Luo Zaimin looked confused: "?"

“Please.” Teeno and Injun put their hands on his shoulders and led him to Kim Somin.

6D said in unison: "Nuna, this is for you! Chebai, let's listen to the demo!"

Luo Zaimin realized it later, gritted his teeth, and looked at them with a dangerous smile.

Di Nu said righteously, "No need to thank me too much. I think you and Nu are a good match."

Renjun gave him a hug with deep emotion: "Zaimin, the future of the Dream Group is in your hands."

Red Beibei burst into laughter.

Kim So Min laughed for a long time and finally played the DEMO of "We Youth" for them.

She sang the DEMO herself.

The prelude adds the sound of subtle waves, the melody of the song is catchy, the strong drum beats are accompanied by a melody that is full of healing feeling, and the rap part is refreshing like a sea breeze.

It gives them a feeling of the fresh and cool sea breeze blowing towards them at the seaside, as if they are running freely and playing to their heart's content on the beach.

The lyrics are simple and have nothing to do with romance.

[The song of the waves never stops, accompanying me in chasing the distant horizon.

At the intersection of youth and summer, until you reach the distant place your heart desires.

In the summer of our youth

The time we spend together will never end.

Everything is good, except the song is difficult.

Fortunately, the three talented lead singers in the Dream Team can handle this song.

Mark looked at Haechan.

This guy didn't feel tired either. Together with Chenle and Renjun, the three main singers had eyes so bright that they could be used as light bulbs.

None of the three people were idle, surrounding Kim So Min, getting angry at some and complaining at others, and flattering her whenever they could.

However, it was not just them. Mark, the most serious man, endured for a long time and still couldn't help but hug Luo Zaimin.

Luo Zaimin stood outside the crowd, looking at Jin Zhaomin with bright eyes, but still rational: "Brother... this is a song written by Nuna."

He didn't think he could influence Kim So Min to make such a rational person like her write a song for the team just for him.

Mark: "But, it's different for you too..."

Kim So-min keenly found his sight in the crowd.

Luo Zaimin's cell phone vibrated and he lowered his head to look.

I pinned the ones I was particularly concerned about and sent him a new message.

[Dream Team is cute. Zai Min is even cuter. This is why I wrote this song.]

The artists of SM company are busy as hell, and the internet is also bustling with the latest hot topics in the entertainment industry.

On the Pann forum, a topic about the top 2017 South Korean idols with the highest total income in 5 sparked heated discussion among the public.

Some curious people added up the various incomes from concerts, albums, peripherals, etc. of major well-known groups, and finally calculated the top five idol groups.

Among them, Red Velvet, which had the highest profit by a margin at the end of the tour, topped the list.

Following closely behind are TVXQ, EXO, BTS, and SJ, while the recently popular and highly anticipated Bunny Rabbit ranked sixth.

The top 20 profitable positions are almost all dominated by artists under SM. After seeing this news, many people sighed, "The reputation of Man Man's Flower Field Empire is well-deserved."

Moreover, the public has also discovered a new point - the most terrifying thing about SM is that it is not only profitable from idols, but its subsidiaries also produced popular variety shows such as "Knowing Brothers", "Lee Lee's Homestay", "A Meal Show", and "Life Tavern". It can be said that it makes a lot of money in every aspect.

The post then released the financial reports (in Korean won) of three major companies for the first quarter of 2018 that were released in recent days.

Thanks to Kim So Min's strong ability to make money, SM company is far ahead in terms of profits.

SM's sales reached 2106 billion, operating profit was 1103 billion, and net profit was 1114 billion.

YG's sales were 772 billion, operating profit was 23 billion, and net profit was 7 million.

JYP's sales were 230 billion, operating profit was 13 billion, and net profit was 18 billion.

This terrifying discontinuity in the number stands out, and those who know the company know that Kim So-min alone contributes half of the profit.

As soon as the news came out, the house was already on the hot search list. Countless people were surprised after seeing the news, and then the related comment area was quickly filled with various comments.

[SM is so amazing! The profit data is so amazing, it is worthy of being an entertainment giant]

[It has to be said that SM's Hanada is still the best, and its artists are both talented and good-looking]

[Red Beibei is the first in the fault, well deserved!]

[Somin is a money-making machine. One person has contributed so much]

[I feel that the gap between the other two companies and SM is a bit big]

[SM's variety shows are all very good, no wonder they make so much money]

[Look forward to SM launching more excellent works and artists in the future]

Various comments emerged one after another, and everyone was amazed and admired SM company's outstanding performance.

The outstanding performances of artists such as Kim So Min and Red Velvet made fans feel extremely proud.

Of course, these comparison posts will eventually become a place for fans of various companies/idol groups to quarrel...

But the marketing numbers are there, and no one still dares to mess with Kim So Min's fans.

Not to mention how happy the fan circle leader Sunshine was, even the fairy queen and fairies who lived a Buddhist lifestyle were very excited.

For fans, revenue is the publicity performance that can be seen with their own eyes - for example, "Dong Shen" and "SJ", who are always ridiculed for being retired and obscure, have the ability to attract money and can actually make money!
