Lee
I know what you're all thinking, but, no, johnnydorama did not reject Lee Hyori's amazing breasasists.

On May 4th’s Off the Record, sizzlin’ hot Lee Hyori admitted to her first big rejection. Besides failing to become a respectable singer, the 28 year old entertainer failed her auditions for the famous record label, SM Entertainment. Although she was later picked up by DSP Entertainment for the group FIN.K.L., it was a disappointment to miss out sharing the fame with mega stars like H.O.T., S.E.S., Kwon BoA, DBSK, and many others.

The superstar who was in high demand, was also happily welcomed by Mnet Media, to whom she eventually signed with, but she never forgot about the rejection by SM Entertainment. C.E.O. Lee Soo Man himself, told Hyori, “There’s no way you would have passed the auditions anyway.

Could you imagine it? If the young Lee Hyori had been accepted into SM Entertainment, S.E.S. would have had a good looking member!

She doesn’t fit the SM style anyway. All of SM’s girls are “innocent” and “cute.” Do you think Hyori ever would have been happy with that? LOL. Who knows. But it must have been hurtful to be rejected like that, but such a big name.

Well, since YG and MneT are already partners,,,, will I expect Big Bang+Lee Hyori collab?

If she was accepted then maybe she’ll never be the “sexy” singer she is now...so I guess it did her good!

All of SM female artists do not have the cute concept. What about CSJH?
Hyori has a wonderful personality, but we all know she didn’t come this far simply because she’s talented in singing and/or dancing.

^ true about csjh but remember, csjh came out way later than hyori.. hyori came out SEXY in the first place.. even though finkl was kinda “cutesy” still hyori had that sexy image.. espeically when she went solo for 10 minutes.
so if hyori had been in sm, it would’ve been weird.. idk i cant imagine.

And why do many people say that SM focuses the importance of look more than the ability to sing?  It is such a biased thing to say so. 
This is such a prove that SM is serious of making the artists who can sing. 
SM has too many chices to choose, they need neither people who can only sing nor only have good look.

OMG XD The last line was a killer!!
She might be hot but her talent is lacking.
I agree with the comment above, SM has too many to choose from so they can go for the ones who are talented AND good looking.

since almost anyone can become a famous singer depending on the proper packaging of the singer, I cannot believe LSM lives in the illusion he knows and understand the industry talent.

in the case of Kpop, it is true: there aren’t any bad singers, only bad managers.  XDDD

Lee Hyori doesn’t seem like she’d fit in with SM anyway. She’d stand out too much with her “breasasists”. raspberry

But damn, Lee Soo Man let so many big people go.. I think his biggest loss was JYP though; dude makes more money than he does now. LOL

^Yeap. JYP auditioned with the song, which became his debut single, ‘Don’t Leave Me (날 떠나지마)’.. And when JYP was leaving after being rejected, LSM had the nerve to ask JYP if he wanted to sell JUST the song. LOL

SM used to produce talent, now all they produce are plastic dolls which they try to call “singers”.

I think now that lee hyori has spoken, all rumors of her being a trainee or dropping out of SM is false , seeing how she didnt even make it in . It’s quite sad how SM let lee junki go as well, or so people tlel me. SM loses and gain some whatever. I personally think being in DSP has gotten where she is today . LOOK at the female groups SM had tried to create after SES. MILK, ISAK AND I dont recall the other name. . and many more. Who knows what could have happened.

SM rejects a lot of people who become big in Korea later on… Like younha… Lee Junki was rejected from SM? Never heard that one before *shrug*.

I’m really glad she didn’t, or else she’d be a teeny bopper then and obscure now.

Lee Junki was rejected?? the only one I’ve heard to far is Younha and well now Hyori. How weird it would be if Hyori was “cutesy” and “innocent” o.O

wow and i didn’t know that many peeps got rejected from sm. weird. o_O.. and yea.. agree with voyager. SM produces plastic dolls and TP (not saying dbsk but eh.. they go in that group sometimes), instead of real talent (sigh)…

Good job Soo Man!
You tell her reality.
Although, she can make it here in America if she spoke English.
Since all you need here is no talent, but a great body that can shake a little.

finkl and hyori suit dsp much better anyhow. don’t get me wrong, dbsk and h.o.t. are my boys (very very prissy boys if you will), but fcuk have you seen SM ent? they all look like representatives of the sodding lollipop guild!

Unless you have a source and further proof that LSM said that directly, I won’t be able to believe it. For those saying that HL is too “sexy” for SM’s innocence: too bad FINK.L had an innocent image for a while.

@TheProdigy I like how you say that SM make talented machines...ahaha...but BoA and DBSK are practically machines...they don’t even get to have vacations!!!!
Lee Jun Ki being rejected is ridiculous...I mean, SM doesn’t focus on at actors...I think they have some, don’t they? but still, SM doesn’t focus on acting...there’s no way that LJK was rejected...if he was...man...him, jae, and Heechul could have perform a beautiful crowd...and they’re all talented, too...not that I’m saying I don’t want a DBSK...I love my DBSK...ahaha…
and about SM produces plastic dolls...there’s two in my mind...I won’t say who they are, but some people out there probably know…
and come on, all entertaiment agencies produce “plastic dolls”

Yeaaa she doesn’t fit with SM.

She probably would be in Japan with BoA if she was in SM.lol...or maybe not, but at least she’s hot. =]

Heres the thing… Hyori really isn’t that great of a singer so I see why SM turned her down. It’s like she wants to try and throw this in SM’s face when she really can’t. Honestly bitch gets no sympathy from me. She’s almost (or is) 30 years old! She needs to move the hell on somewhere!
