#6……

Once the news that Han Shuo was suspected of making his debut spread, related topics and keywords quickly dominated the real-time hot search list.

It vividly illustrates what it means to be eagerly anticipated by everyone.

"Ahhhhh~ Oppa heard our hearts!"

What does it mean to stay true to one's original aspiration?

Even though she has already achieved financial freedom, she never forgets the stage.

Other artists say they're not interested in money and that they debuted to pursue their dreams, but I'm skeptical.

But Han Seok oppa definitely didn't debut to make a pittance out of our pockets.

"He owns a hit game that generates a billion won a month, trained at SM Entertainment for four years, and now he runs his own company and promotes his own debut."

Without company constraints, ample funding for his comeback, reliable singing and dancing skills, and a stunningly handsome face—investing in him is definitely a worthwhile investment.

"I declare Oppa to be the best newcomer of the year."

With Han Shuo's image, the funds he controls, and his immense popularity, almost no one doubts that he has already secured the newcomer award for all music awards this year.

It also involves entanglements with his former company.

It is said that the media captured several executives from SM Entertainment visiting Star Entertainment, implying that SM Entertainment may be involved in the production of Han Seok's album.

"Really?"

Yoona's gaze fell on Sunny.

Sunny rolled her eyes at her: "It's one thing if outsiders don't know, but don't you understand the power struggles involved?"

Given the numerous conflicts between Han Seok and SM Entertainment, how could he possibly still cooperate with SM Entertainment?

Even though SM Entertainment's planning capabilities were once unparalleled, it's hard to believe that Han Seok would be able to let go of his resentment.

After all, if he were the kind of person who was willing to compromise, he wouldn't have been persuaded to leave SM Entertainment in the first place.

Furthermore, the album production has been entrusted to DSP Entertainment.

With the IPO already imminent, is bringing in a new company at this point just a way to share profits and hand them over to someone else?

"What if the company can demonstrate sufficient sincerity?"

Sunny placed her hand on Yoona's chest: "Come on, say what you just said again."

Im Yoona fell silent.

SM Entertainment's management tends to be autocratic, and they likely try to maximize profits in terms of contract length and benefits.

Asking the company to bleed money and offer concessions to show sincerity is less like a weasel sincerely wishing a chicken a Happy New Year.

"Then what I'm about to say..."

Yoona's previous response to fans has been widely circulated online, becoming evidence of SM Entertainment's collaboration with Hanseok.

This directly put her in the spotlight.

If the two sides directly expose their differences, then her position will become very awkward.

She deeply regretted her actions.

I should have known better than to stop back then; it was all for nothing.

We can only hope that the company and Han Shuo can part ways amicably, so that she won't be proven wrong by future archaeological discoveries.

……

……

"Providing planning resources and cooperation opportunities, and you expect to get 10% of the album sales and 10% of the music streaming revenue?"

Han Seok knew that SM Entertainment had ill intentions and was also aware of many of SM Entertainment's scandals.

But he was still shocked by SM Entertainment's shamelessness.

Humans cannot, at least not.

"They're about to debut, why would I need them to create a project?"

"They say they'll grant free licenses to their artists for music video copyrights in mainland China, but once Bilibili's user base grows and it gains a promotional advantage, SM Entertainment will actively seek to join."

Han Shuo scrolled through the trending topics list.

He even suspected that the SM Entertainment entry was a self-directed act, secretly trying to ride on his popularity.

"Director, they've also proposed Plan B..."

"If Plan A is this disgusting, let me guess what it is."

Han Seok didn't hesitate to assume the worst about SM Entertainment: "Don't tell me they want me to join Super Junior, or Super Junior-M?"

"I say the council member's opinion is excellent!"

Li Zhongshuo gave a fawning thumbs-up: "They ultimately decided to first implement the Chinese small team, and then integrate them into the main force as appropriate later."

"They said you could sign a small group contract only, and you could manage your solo activities as you see fit."

Han Shuo: ? ? ?

He needs to update his assessment of SM Entertainment again:

What a worthless piece of trash.

How could he be so mentally unstable that he would abandon his own solo career to go and cause trouble for SM Entertainment, while also bringing his own audience to support Super Junior-M?

Tell them it's off the table.

Based on his perception of SM Entertainment as having no bottom line, he even suspected that Yoona's conversation with fans might have been a pre-arranged publicity stunt by SM Entertainment.

The collaboration is still in its infancy, yet they've already started hyping it up.

You really are amazing.

Lee Joong-seok said with a smile, "I knew the board would not accept this kind of cooperation, and I have already made our position clear to SM Entertainment on the spot."

Han Shuo's eyes gleamed with admiration: "Well done."

"They said they would keep the cooperation window open and hope to speak with you in person next time."

"They're a bunch of leeches, only thinking about sucking people's blood," Han Shuo said, having no goodwill towards SM Entertainment. "Then let them wait and see."

"The second thing is that the company has received interview requests from several more media outlets, as you can see..."

This is what really matters.

With the news of Han Shuo's debut being leaked ahead of schedule, a large number of media outlets and netizens have paid attention, and the company will inevitably have to adjust its pace accordingly.

"Let's call MBC first and ask about the situation."

"Regardless of whether the person who made the whistleblower is actually their employee, we need to let them know that we are very dissatisfied with this, and see if we can extort some compensation from them."

"Yes."

"I reckon MBC will try to shift the blame, saying it's someone from another TV station. Then you can use MBC's version of events to try and blackmail the other three TV stations one by one."

You can play it like this?

Lee Chung-seok was stunned and said he had learned something.

One of the judges on the four major music shows claimed to be fair and impartial, but in reality, the rules were full of room for behind-the-scenes manipulation.

As partners of the four major music shows, their own interests have been "damaged," so the four music shows have no choice but to make amends to them.

This doesn't mean that we should rely on transactions to manipulate someone.

I just want to ensure that Han Seok receives fair treatment when promoting his music and is not deliberately suppressed because he is a foreign artist.

"Should the press conference be scheduled earlier?"

When will Cecil arrive?

Cécile was a French harpist with an ethereal voice.

They were responsible for singing "Take Me Hand" and the chorus of "It's Like I've Died".

Saturday night.

"Then let's move the press conference forward by one day to this Sunday."

The initial promotional efforts yielded immediate results, even generating the unexpected bonus of reverse publicity from competitors. The initial promotional goals have now been achieved.

They created images such as "genius entrepreneur" and "embodied CEO".

Therefore, the early exposure of the debut news has a negligible impact on the promotional schedule.

It is entirely possible to appropriately shift one's image towards that of a "celebrity" in advance.

"The press conference will be attended by Li Haoyan, the MV director, the two female leads of the MV, and Cecil."

Considering that Kang Hanna was a backup dancer and choreographer who had always worked hard without complaint, Han Shuo added Kang Hanna to the lineup, hoping to give her some exposure.

"Tell them that when asked what they think of the album, they must answer in a somewhat insecure and conservative tone."

"..."
