Chinese BoA?!
Lee Soo Man, the founder of SM Entertainment, and celebrities under the company (including BoA, KangTa, and Super Junior's Han Kyung and Si Won), met with Harvard MBA students to discuss the future of Asian entertainment and the “Korean Wave” in Seoul, on May 31st. The stars shared how they came to be and answered questions from the audience. One of the major topics discussed in the conference was the potential of the rapidly booming Chinese market. Mr. Lee revealed his future plans for SM Ent., including a possible addition of a Chinese member to DBSK and the making of a“Chinese BoA”, who are both set to debut in two months.
According to an SM Official, the students from Harvard have expressed their desire in learning Lee Soo Man's strategies in management, which is proof that the Hallyu Wave has been highly noticed by international people.
Mr. Lee also commented on BoA’s accomplishments, using her as an example of an artist whose tremendous talent and SM's marketing strategy, resulted in a global super-star status. He also dismissed rumors about BoA’s alleged plastic surgeries, jokingly saying, “BoA has never had any plastic surgeries. People just become pretty if they come to SM."
