Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Chapter 41 Return to the Early Stage

During the period when Red Velvet briefly left the music stage and prepared to return, the music industry was extremely lively.

Artists under SM, from TVXQ to SJ, to Girls' Generation, Girls' Generation's sub-groups, and FX, have all returned, and they seem to be determined not to stop until they have worn out the stage.

The time of each sub-center was planned very well. The promotion time of the senior groups was relatively short, so there was no situation where one's own people bumped into another's. The trophy for the first place in the music industry was passed on among these teams in succession.

The fans of each group were very happy.

According to the law of conservation of energy, if they are happy, it means that others are unhappy.

SM's unethical behavior of conducting a collective comeback has caused idols from other companies to complain bitterly.

For a time, fans of various idol groups during their comeback period complained on Pann and other major social media platforms.

SM directly became the chief villain in the music industry.

Since becoming an idol, Kim So-min has lived in a house near her company. Whenever she goes home, her sister Kim So-yeon would curiously ask her, "What's going on with your small company?"

Kim So-yeon has successfully graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard University and took over part of her own Six-Star business after returning to China.

This kind of elite figure has never been associated with the entertainment industry. The fact that she can point out such a problem shows how much SM is condemned by everyone now.

Kim So Yeon was quite happy to hear that her sister's small company was in trouble.

She felt that Kim So Min was wasting her time and talent in the entertainment industry, and had long wanted to get Kim So Min back on track.

Kim So-min doesn't care about the negative comments online: "It doesn't matter - they can curse me, but my company still makes a lot of money."

Happy for nothing.

Knowing that her sister's small company was really fine, Jin Zhaoyan felt a little regretful. She said straight to the point: "When can you give up your entertainment game and go to the United States to study?"

The minimum age requirement for high school in the United States is 14 years old, and Kim So-yeon went there at the age of 14: "If you are a few years older, it will be difficult for you to apply for Choate Rosemary Hall."

“My current school is also very good.”

Kim So-min was not interested in the international connections in the Department of Finance.

Longshoushan School was originally established to facilitate the schooling of children of foreign nationals. Although it has now become a gathering place for the rich and elite, its teaching staff and social environment cannot be compared with those of prestigious private schools abroad.

"Little dog." (*Little dog is a way of addressing a younger person with affection)

Jin Zhaoyan's tone was gentle, with a hint of admonition: "No matter how good it is, it is a domestic school and cannot be compared with famous foreign schools. You should know that you must be admitted to Harvard. Domestic schools can't help you get into Harvard so easily."

“Ouni!” Kim So-min ran over and hugged her sister’s arm: “Just let me play for a few more years!”

"Chebai, I can pass the exam on my own, unnie."

Kim So-min's impressive resume is impressive enough, coupled with her excellent grades and various specialties, she is confident that she can be admitted to a prestigious school.

——Her brother, Kim Joon-young, who was a poor student, could graduate from Harvard, so how could she not be admitted?

"Besides SM Entertainment, I also have Kakao, so it doesn't matter!"

Kakao has grown gradually with the popularization and development of smartphones and has now become a new generation of chaebol.

With Kim Min-soo protecting her, Kim So-min still controls all of Kakao's shares.

Jin Zhaoyan had to compromise with her again: "Of course I believe you, as long as you are happy."

Anyway, her sister already has Kakao to rely on...and even if her sister can't get into Harvard, she can still help her sister get a Harvard diploma.

"But you have to promise me not to get hurt."

“Yeah!” Kim So-min nodded vigorously, hugged her tightly like a child who had not grown up, and said coquettishly with joy: “Ouni, you are really so nice!”

Looking at Kim So Min's stubborn look, Kim So Yeon could only smile helplessly.

Kim So-yeon agreed, but the next day, when Kim So-min opened his phone, he saw his elder sister's name on the Kakao headlines list.

Kim So-yeon is one of the future successors of the Six-Star Group and a highly-regarded female entrepreneur in the Peninsula. This time she became a hot topic because she once again appeared on the Peninsula’s national news interview program.

A reporter asked her, "You have three siblings, why do you and your brother seem to be the only ones who often appear in the public eye?"

Kim So-yeon smiled faintly: "My youngest sister... She is still a child, and children have their own hobbies. She is doing what she likes, and I can't comment on anything else."

"But speaking of which, my sister is very cute. I wish she could listen to me more."

Kim So-yeon is beautiful and has a noble temperament. This interview attracted widespread attention and discussion because of her beauty and her doting sister personality.

When the public's attention began to shift to the mysterious "little princess", the hot topic was quietly suppressed by Kakao.

Hey……

She is in a difficult situation as she has an older sister and brother who always want to destroy her background.

Today, Kim So-min is also carefully keeping her identity secret.

Kim So Min's idol Taylor has had some problems lately.

She knew that Kim So Min was the president of a large company, so she suddenly asked Kim So Min about the contract and copyright issues.

Taylor's company, due to a contract trap, will take away the song copyrights of her previous albums after she leaves the company.

Kim So-min realized that Taylor's contract was unreasonable, but he didn't know how to solve it.

Fortunately, she has a powerful father, sister and four-star secretarial office. It happened that the company was preparing to sell these albums, so Kim So-min bought the copyright of Taylor's first six albums through his connections and gave them to her.

Taylor was deeply moved: "Oh my God..."

These albums cost hundreds of millions of dollars and were very expensive, so she immediately returned the money to Kim So Min to express her gratitude.

Kim So Min is currently signed to Universal, so she introduced Universal to Taylor. In the new company, she can completely retain the copyright of her songs.

Kim So Min: "You are my idol, let's meet at the Grammy Awards."

Taylor knew Kim So Min's personality and understood that she did not want to use her fame to hype anything.

So after Taylor terminated his contract with his former company, he filed a complaint against his former agency on Instagram, but did not mention Kim So Min.

She wrote a separate song in her subsequent album to accuse the company of exploiting her, and also wrote "I met a lovely sweetheart."

——As a creator, she can praise or scold people, and time will make her work last forever. This is the privilege of a creator.

After returning the song to Taylor, the matter came to an end and Kim So Min's good days were over.

She originally thought she could solve all the problems by herself, but she didn't expect that in the end she still had to ask her family for help.

Kim So-yeon and Kim Min-soo gave her a severe lesson. In the end, Kim So-min could only repeatedly assure them that she would definitely go abroad to expand her network during college so that they could feel at ease.

Kim So-min looked a little depressed after making the vow.

She still didn't like to come into contact with those powerful people and didn't want to get into that circle. This was definitely the most difficult thing for Jin Zhaomin since she was born.

She is in the art industry, and these fields are really difficult for her...

Kim So-min was sad and rested at home for a few days. Kim Min-soo couldn't bear to see her like this and comforted her for a long time.

Finally, with Kim So-yeon sarcastically saying "kind fathers often spoil their daughters" in the background, Kim So-min took Kim Min-soo to cheer her up, gave her a luxury car, and returned to the company beautifully.

Because she was about to start her busy comeback, she decided to move into Red Velvet's dormitory to facilitate the filming team's recording of the group variety show.

SM's artist dormitories are quite luxurious, and every year the company rents luxury houses at expensive prices - although most of the rented houses are those of Kim So Min and her friends.

For Kim So-min, it was a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other.

She has nothing else but a lot of houses.

This time when she moved, Park Eun-jeong even came over to help her pack.

As early as 2010, Kakao's astonishing profits were used to acquire Melon under Park Eun-jeong's plan. This sister had long been promoted to a senior executive of Melon, and together with the disbanded secretariat of Four Stars, she assisted in the management of Melon's operations.

"Is it really possible?" Park Eun-jeong sat in the passenger seat and looked at Kim So-min with concern.

Kim So-min is a young lady who has never done any housework. Her hands are made for playing music and painting.

For Kim So Min, Park Eun Jung even went to watch the variety shows of other SM idol groups, and saw that those idols not only had to cook by themselves, but also clean their rooms by themselves...

Kim So-min has never suffered such a punishment.

However, Kim So-min's new dormitory life was not as scary as Park Eun-jeong had imagined.

After a month, Kim So-min adapted to living with several more people in the house. Although the sisters sometimes had some minor frictions, it was still fun to tease each other and share gossip.

During the days when everyone was working together to film the group variety show, time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was August.

Kim So Min and other sisters conducted their first live broadcast program on the Han River through Vapp. The name of the program was "Five-Party Satisfaction".

They encountered toxic fans for the first time during the live broadcast.

Kim So Min and Bae Joo Hyun were originally greeting the camera hand in hand, but several fans scolded her in the barrage for blocking Bae Joo Hyun's camera.

Kim So Min's expression remained unchanged, but in order to avoid really blocking Bae Joo Hyun, she took a step back slightly.

——It’s normal that some people don’t like her. Even money is not liked by everyone, let alone her?

Pei Zhuxuan's sweet smile froze instantly. She made a big X with a cold expression and said, "Please don't do this kind of thing."

Then she retreated behind Kim So Min and deliberately hid behind other members to cover herself more tightly.

After the live broadcast, Bae Joo-hyun apologized to Kim So-min sincerely and guiltily.

Kim So Min: "Ouni, aren't you too idle to argue with people like this... How about having a more difficult hit song for your next album?"

so rude.

The powerful Bae Joo-hyun did not iron her clothes that day as a punishment.

Hong Beibei’s living room is a huge dressing room, which is used by several girls and they often exchange clothes.

Late in the night, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't fall asleep because she was thinking about it. She was worried that Kim So-min would not have a neat school uniform to wear to school the next day, so she got up to help her iron her school uniform.

Wendy saw it all, shook her head and sighed, "It's hopeless."

Then, she was hit by the powerful captain Bae Joo-hyun.

---

The day after the live broadcast ended, SM Entertainment officially announced to the outside world that Red Velvet is expected to return in September, and specifically noted that Red Velvet will release her first full-length album "The Red" on September 9.

The other idols who returned at the same time felt a black screen before their eyes, and their fans' eyes were dim.

The princess mothers waiting for their daughters are as brilliant as fireworks, happily preparing to grab a spot on the stage to promote their daughters' songs.

It’s been several months since the last ICE return!

All they are waiting for is to go to SM's house and snatch the child away!
