off the record
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!

awww
sm is so uptight
at least with dsp she could skank it up
May 08, 2008 - 01:43 AM
SM ftl
May 08, 2008 - 02:00 AM
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.
May 08, 2008 - 02:01 AM
aw poor Hyori, she’s much more talented than a lot of SNSD
also, what’s up with the pop ups?
May 08, 2008 - 02:02 AM
Well, since YG and MneT are already partners,,,, will I expect Big Bang+Lee Hyori collab?
May 08, 2008 - 02:15 AM
If she was accepted then maybe she’ll never be the “sexy” singer she is now...so I guess it did her good!
May 08, 2008 - 02:54 AM
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.
May 08, 2008 - 03:10 AM
^ 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.
May 08, 2008 - 03:49 AM
wow.
SES could have had a decent-looking member.
too bad she didn’t make itt
May 08, 2008 - 03:56 AM
how could he refuse her? she would’ve become more famouse if she was labeled with smtown.
May 08, 2008 - 04:21 AM
SM is a factory producing machines anyways.
...Although these machines are highly talented…
May 08, 2008 - 08:04 AM
This should teach bosses to speak kindly to REJECTS.
May 08, 2008 - 09:38 AM
lee soo man didnt say that btw.
he just said not to tell anyone that she auditioned for them. -_-
May 08, 2008 - 10:28 AM
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.
May 08, 2008 - 02:23 PM
lol that last comment XD
May 08, 2008 - 03:14 PM
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.
May 08, 2008 - 03:21 PM
She looks very yummy in that picture.
May 08, 2008 - 03:40 PM
I offer her join SM Entertainment in exchange for sucky! She say no so I say no join SM.
May 08, 2008 - 03:44 PM
Worked out for the best for her I think.
May 08, 2008 - 04:14 PM
thats waht happens when you put up a bad image for yourself.
i guess So Man had no plans with a hooker........yet.
May 08, 2008 - 04:42 PM
LSM is the best commenter yet!
May 08, 2008 - 04:54 PM
Why thank you mel and Arie :D

May 08, 2008 - 04:57 PM
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
May 08, 2008 - 04:59 PM
please erase “the industry” from the phrase above. :p
May 08, 2008 - 05:03 PM
Lee Hyori doesn’t seem like she’d fit in with SM anyway. She’d stand out too much with her “breasasists”.
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.
May 08, 2008 - 05:15 PM
^Nuh uh… lies!
Well that explains why BoA is coming to America… or plans to at least.
-sLaVe
May 08, 2008 - 05:27 PM
^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.
May 08, 2008 - 05:27 PM
SM used to produce talent, now all they produce are plastic dolls which they try to call “singers”.
May 08, 2008 - 05:32 PM
Ch0, oh I know the whole ‘letting JYP go’ thing… I just didn’t know he makes more money!
Only talented person he has is.. J.Lim…

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.
May 08, 2008 - 06:41 PM
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.
May 08, 2008 - 06:54 PM
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
May 08, 2008 - 07:29 PM
^disturbing image....
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)…
May 08, 2008 - 07:43 PM
Seems like every celeb was/want to be in SM. LOL. Now we know that SM doesn’t only go for looks, they need some talent too.
May 08, 2008 - 08:08 PM
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.
May 08, 2008 - 08:16 PM
SM CEO is cold… Lol
May 08, 2008 - 08:25 PM
lsm is such a bastard lol
then again, it’s understandable why hyori got rejected
too bad sm lost a lot of money missing out on her :p
May 08, 2008 - 11:37 PM
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!
May 09, 2008 - 12:09 AM
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.
May 09, 2008 - 01:29 AM
wow..if SM accepted pplz like SNSD...why not Hyori!!??!
May 09, 2008 - 03:38 AM
OOOOOOOH......
That’s a major OUCH.
But when I think about it… Hyori’s image won’t be aligned with SM Artists…
*Imagines Hyori in CSJH or SNSD, LOL*
May 09, 2008 - 12:59 PM
god...i tried once but i can’t seem to like her!!
May 09, 2008 - 06:30 PM
in the entertainment industry, get used to rejection and just keep on trying...the best revenge is becoming successful…
May 09, 2008 - 09:02 PM
The old pictures somewhat make her look like [give me the impression of] Chae Yeon. Like her eyes and nose..
May 10, 2008 - 01:34 AM
lsm’s so stupid… never liked his decisions
May 11, 2008 - 12:43 AM
woah. poor hyori.. but she’s now one of the hottest stars in korea. XD.
May 11, 2008 - 08:18 AM
woah…
“40. sharoro
May 09, 2008 - 01:29 AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wow..if SM accepted pplz like SNSD...why not Hyori!!??!
“
OMG i soooooo agree!!!! XD she is so much better than SNSD <_< like seriously allll of them…
May 14, 2008 - 04:13 PM
@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”
May 14, 2008 - 10:16 PM
Yeaaa she doesn’t fit with SM.
SM isn’t all about sexy that much.
She’s sexy. lol.
She probably would be in Japan with BoA if she was in SM.lol...or maybe not, but at least she’s hot. =]
May 30, 2008 - 01:09 AM
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!
