From Seoul streets to global beats, Soo Man Lee isn't just a music industry pioneer. He's the architect of a cultural revolution. The mastermind behind SM Entertainment and the global K-pop wave, Mr. Lee turned raw Korean talent into a worldwide phenomenon.
His blueprint? Pure vision mixed with street-smart innovation.
Born to a musician mother and professor father, music wasn't just in his blood. It was his destiny. While grinding through computer engineering grad school in California, MTV hit the airwaves and lit a fire. Mr. Lee saw the future: Korean talent taking over global stages. He took that dream back to Seoul and built SM Entertainment from the ground up.
SOO MAN LEE AKA MR. LEE
FOUNDER
What happened next changed the game forever. Under his watch, SM Entertainment didn't just make stars, it created legends. H.O.T., Girls' Generation, EXO, and NCT 127: the list reads like a who's who of K-pop royalty.
Now, with Blooming Music Publishing, Mr. Lee's writing the next chapter. He's building a new home for songwriters and producers who don't just follow trends but create them.
The game never stops evolving, and neither does Mr. Lee. He's still out front, still spotting what's next, and still changing how the world hears music.
His formula? Raw talent plus relentless innovation, all aimed at one goal: worldwide domination.
