It is said that former founder of SM Entertainment Lee Soo Man is opening his own office.

According to figures in the music industry, Lee Soo Man has set up his own private office in Gangnam. This office, whose name is unknown, is a separate company from 'Blooming Grace' (a private company related to new tehcnology business, real estate sales, and rentals), 'LeePollux' (an unmanned aerial done business), and 'Culture Technology Group Asia' (a music publishing company).

It is currently unknown what Lee Soo Man's future plans are, however there is also an opinion that the office will become a base to gather all of "his people". According to multiple entertainment officials, senior officials from SM expressed their intention to join with former CEO Lee Soo Man.

In response, Korean netizens on an online community shared their opinions on Lee Soo Man's potential new business venture.  

"But do entrepreneurs have the heart to continue to do business like this? If it were me, if I earned that kind of money at that age, I would be able to relax unconditionally..." 

"He should know when to leave during the applause."

"Weren't you banned from employment in the same industry?"

"What are you trying to do now."

"Grandpa get some rest."
"I think that there is no one who can follow only Lee Soo Man in raising a star, so starting a new company might be a good path for both sides."

"Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness... but I want to ask him if he's happy now after turning his back on the company he's worked with all his life for and his many singers. And before starting on any new venture...whether he doesn't feel any shame...."

"I would just retire and live comfortably after having that much money saved up."

"You have to grow old gracefully. If you were less greedy, you would have been in the CEO position still...."
