Maddy Martin so it happened that maybe at the age of early as 7 or lower than that he's been training already while me at his age still playing with toys and friends 😄😂😂
@@jainydibibibi I think he trained for like 2-3 years so he probably was around 10 or something when he started training, which is honestly impressive but also scary because this is a dark industry...
I doubt Mark will debut in every single unit, in fact once all units have spread across the world it’ll be impossible for Mark to be in every unit. He might just be in Korean, Japanese and Chinese units and that’s it.
Lee So Man is a genius. Red Velvet's concept alone is amazing that's why I became a Reveluv. Then now that they have Aespa... I realized that all SM groups are connected and has a story. It's amazing that all groups were planned by him in a very long time. It's not "Oh I want a boy group like this and a girl group like that so I'll make them debut" NO. It's like he's creating own UNIVERSE now because he already planned it decades of years ago.
Theyre the best making legend since beginning, no one compare their idol their quality visual vocal charisma concert everything.. Thats what i love, actually i am really old kpop stan..
I have mixed feelings about the company. They make some amazing artists, but at the same time they don’t really have a good reputation when it comes to treating artists fairly.
Lee Soo-Man is a dangerous man because he really *knows* how to make successful buisness, such as SM entertainment. He knows the entertainment industry all around and throughout and how to gain the audiences attention. Honestly, it's admiring.
Lee Sooman said NCT will grow bigger in their 4th year. It's already 2020 and NCT are breaking records and becoming million+ sellers. Nctzens are growing everyday like I'm so proud of us😭💚
Who is here after NCT got their first daesang(album of the year). They came soo far, being SM failure to million selling group and one of the biggest kpop group out there.🥺🥺 I am proud of them💚
@@beyoncewhite2 true. NO MATTER WHAT HATERS SAY NO MATTER WHAT HATERS DO NCT💚💚💚 NCTZEN💚💚💚. NCT is the future kings of kpop. No one can change my mind😌😌😌
@@lychie7388 Yup! There's an article about it. Also, if y'all notice all their MV's and concept with their groups are somehow connected especially these days.
Did you watch the entire presentation? 32:00 - "Neo Culture Technology" :D I think "New Culture Technology" is rather based on their new plans, strategies etc. and not the boy group itself...?
while lee soo man recieves so much backlash by sm stans almost all of the time, i can’t deny the fact that i do learn a lot from him and it amazes me how they think and plan these concepts for their artists. like what baekhyun said, (although it may or may not have been just for formalities) sm entertainment really is a big company so it has big problems. i hope the company can bounce back again in the top three... having been an sm stan for more than a decade, i won’t deny that i do take pride in sm entertainment being one of the biggest and most successful entertainment companies out there and i really wish all the best for nct’s success
Lee Sooman is one extremely wise and business-oriented man. I see a lot of people commenting about NCT's concept and how complicated it is but I feel like they fail to understand that NCT is a brand as well a group. There are no other groups in SM, as well as the K-pop industry, that have the same concept which is also one of SM's biggest investments in the future of the company. I really respect the fact that SM is constantly experimenting with new projects and concepts, and even if the newest things they put out don't become popular immediately, they surely become very trendy and set their trademark in the future. I love the fact that SM don't only focus on a certain path of development but rather develop in all kinds of ways which could confuse many, but with the power and work of SM, it is done correctly and it benefits the whole company well. This presentation is just a round-up of how much SM is about to expand and what they are about to put out. As for NCT, they are slowly making their way up to secure a stable position, just as Lee Sooman has planned. NCT isn't an ordinary group, their success won't depend solely on the South Korean public, but on the worldwide public. And they have big things coming for them. As expected, SM makes It.
SM had produced many legends and stars in k-pop industry like H.O.T, S.E.S, Shinwa, TVXQ!, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), EXO, Red Velvet and the latest one I'll be watching their future is NCT. This got me chill. I have a feeling they'll become big like their seniors. SM is just so powerful. They're smart to create new things in the industry, like a leader of K-pop.
2020 update: NCT is one of the most popular kpop groups, NCT 127 million seller, Winwin has lines, Haechan is Jaechan now (after ride & kick by nct u), Dreamies are riding and 127 squad are kicking and punching, i see the vision and wayv can turn back time. another update: Make A Wish is the most viewed SM song in first 24 hours (30th in world), NCT 2020 million sellers, Sungchan and Shotaro are the new members who are adorable and talented, NO METTER WHAT THEY SAY, NO METTER WHAT THEY DO, WE GON' RESONATE RESONATE. edit: lol wait I'll update this list soon, I didn't expect to get that many likes
Mr. Lee Soo Man is a person with plans and strategies. He is not like other agencies that only follow the flows. Tbh the idols from SM are all talented like really talented reagrdless their visual.
Watching it again Nov 23, 2020. SM entertainment will always be Top for a reason. I have been SMstan since SJ then I discover TVXQ.. then SNSD, Shinee, EXO, RV and NCT. Yes SM is tough but SMartist is tougher. Many SM Group called flop at first but later become a big and famous group. Honestly, No SM Artist that isn't popular. What I really like about SM is that their artist is like wine.. even after a long time being debut the artist is still famous and improving theirselves.. after being in group they will have solo album, hosting, acting, producing,etc.. that's what they called Longterm investment..
Lmao being called flop is like tradicion. Every group that was called flop are/will be legends. I seriously can imagine even more groups debuting as a great artist that will break the limits and boundaries. When we will think that it can't be even crazier and more interesting Lee Soo-Man are gonna throw some theories in our faces, and leave us amazed. His creativity is on another level and he has long term plans. So there is no way that group will "flop". We already know that if new groups are called flops from the start, then they some years later gonna break the records and will get many awards 😄 It's just SM thing. Im proud to be SM stan even tho im still kinda new fan compared to other older fans 😆 P.S. Also I forgot to mention that new girl group Aespa debuted not very long ago, but they already even before debut collected haters making the girls even more famous 😆 The concept, avatars, choreo, visuals, vocals, the song and music video are just BEST QUALITY 💫 Literally can't understand why haters gotta be so jealous ever people that are better than them xd At this point I even start to think that the more group has haters, the more group is popular lol 2021 FIGHTING! 🎉
This is why I always scared of SM. Lee Sooman really has that *vision* Believe me, none of SM group is flop But they *always* called flop by people and before we realize, they'll make big hit and slowly make us regreting our selves bcs we don't stan em from very beggining. This is the main reason I became a SM Stan, and also the main reason I have that kind of love-hate relationship with SM.
People are commenting about how this is like an iphone announcement. I don't think the focus of this keynote is NCT (group), but it focuses more on the mission and vision of SM using new culture technology in the future. This is how companies do it, they do a keynote for the press, the press writes about it so that people get interested into the company... into buying stocks of the company. It's main agenda is business, not the group.
Seeing this after 5 years brought tears to my eyes ..... The way they have grown so much in every aspect and rose from being SM's mistake to million sellers that too how many millions we don't know !!!! Just gonna say I am proud of these boys so much , AND I REPEAT NCT ISN'T A MISTAKE THEY ARE NOW ONE OF THE TOP ARTISTS OF THE WORLD !!!!!!!
“NCT will have major teams with their bases on world’s major cities” - This man said it in 2016 and now in 2021 people are complaining about him to producing a group in USA. They’re doing variety show for new members of NCT but they have to know that they’re doing it for whole NCT’s fame tho. I wish NCT would get the attention not only in USA but also in Latin American countries through this variety show! They always complain about Leesoman’s decision but they love it when it happens!
Im conviced now that lee sooman can really see the future. Damn his mind, he’s so sure that this concept will be successful, and its true! Mad genius, he should be getting the credit for all the things he did first and for being the founder of kpop!
I wish I can give my presentation in front of the class like this. It would be awesome! lol This video makes me realize how big and powerful this company is. YG and JYP are also one of the top three but profit margin between no.1 (SM) and no.2 is huge... Their marketing strategies are no joke.
LyonCross bc SM can afford to debut many artist u need lots of investment on an artist, and cash to maintain many artists so basically his strategy is really smart
@Jessie Smith you need strategies in business hunny big hit obviously had strategies sucess in the kpop industry doesn't happen over night big hit doesn't give that much freedom as y'all think it's the kpop industry after all, they basically treat their idols as machines u can see that in the boys recent schedule they don't even have any breaks all they do is promote and perform each night
It's so interesting that a lot of people's fears of nct didn't come true. People recognize each member, new subunits for different countries are highly anticipated, and oversees promotions are going pretty well. There are some issues, such as line distributions and etc, but overall it's actually pretty successful and lit
Something I find very weird though is that they completely separated wayv from nct and basically denied that members who had previously been in other nct units ever existed in these. How are interactions between the different local groups supposed to be possible if you act like they do not belong together? I find that pretty strange and hope to see more interactions between the Chinese members and the rest of nct in the future. Previously, I’ve also heard someone say that wayv is so seperated from the rest because of certain political issues between China and South Korea, but this just shows how marketing is more important to them than creating the actual authentic content which I find kind of sad, to be honest.
It’s kind of scary how he literally *knows* every strategy in the Kpop industry. S.M. has put on a lot of group out there, and who didn’t become a big hit? No one. *exactly* . Lee Soo Man is *very* strong when it comes to these stuff. He builts his trainees and idols to be better at the things they aren’t that powerful yet. I mean- you can see why S.M. is still top. Although sometimes they go rough on their idols, it shaped them to be a better self. Seriously.
This is crazy. Watching this in 2020 and realizing that SM actually was plotting this for a long time. It seems like NCT is SM's soldiers for World Domination. And believe me *they are already on the move*
That's y SM puts, the their attention and lots of efforts on NCT They literally cover every aspect of world region Wayv-specially to dominate China market 127- world and Korea Dream- young audiences
@@rebekablackwood truly a visionary. They have their own pace. Thats why they dont lose out. They plan ahead. And for the most part i think they have perfected the art of it. Some view it as a bad xompany but i stil lthink that out of them all SM really plans to have longevity for all its artists. Those leaving are not thecright fit for them and still has benefited on some other way. Of course as idols they have major restrictions.
Its been 4 years since LSM create NCT and one of the best thing that happened in this world! i still can't believed they called NCT failure group but look, NOW NCT BROKE RECORDS, MILLIONSELLER,CHARTING IN BILLBOARD, ACHIEVING THEIR FIRST DAESANG!(ALBUM OF THE YEAR) RECEIVING AWARDS IN AAA(ALL UNIT) AND ADDITION NCT MV(MAW) IS THE FASTEST SM MV! AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT NCT WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD THEY'RE MOVING.JUST WATCH!
@@laurasirait5120 It's not that I oppose the idea of another NCT subunit, more like I'm not ready for Jisung to be called hyung bc he's the babiest babie of them all. Nevertheless, he's gonna be an adult next year so either way I'd better be prepared :)
@@resilientcactus1472 i can totally feel you, even tho he's been saying he'll finally be an adult next year but still i can't see him as anything else but a baby 😭 altho he's now the tallest in Dream but his personality is still so child-like hahaha but i feel like he'll probably try to be more mature if there's really a subunit with younger kids, but nonetheless he'll always be everyone's baby 💗
+Milica Micka yeah there are talented people around the world but in korea MUSIC IS AN INDUSTRY that is what makes the difference...6 years of training 24/7 is the only thing I would say...they spend about 1$MILLON in training for each member of the k pop groups you see..
Well, of course there are talented people everywhere. However, since this is KPOP, I'm pretty sure that the kpop entertainment companies want to keep is mostly Asian.
Now I believe that lee soo man can see the future😭 I remember him saying to those people in 2017 to trust NCT and give them 3years. And in 2020 NCT gained more fans and became one of the best boygroups today😭💚
I still remember the time we were discussing which group will include Mark. Taeyong, Johnny, Hansol, Yuta, Ten, Taeil, Doyoung, Jaehyun one or Donghyuck, Jeno, Jaemin, Jisung one. Some of us was saying Mark will be maknae, some of us was saying Mark will be the leader of juniors. Even I remember one time I said Mark should be in juniors group because he is close with Donghyuck :D Then this news came like a bomb all suddenly and all SMRookie fandom shooked. Because of all of them now in one group which we never thought :D And now its been 2 years. I'll never forget that era of my life because I was waiting for SMRookies for 2 years and when SM dropped this news was a horrible timeline of my life. And that news made my day in that era. I am still sad that Hansol left tho. Maybe he could wait a little bit more he could be in NCT 2018.
Me 2 years ago: "SM why would you debut a group from other nationalities? Who would want a group that has so many sub units? And adding many new members? That just sucks" Me 2 years later: "SM it's 2018 and NCT China still hasn't debuted yet!!! So, when wil NCT Asia debut? Sm who will be part of NCT 2028? Im excited!! Better debut them soon!!! I can't wait!! "

Okay, this is kind of creepy but if you think about it, it really bridges the gap between music and dance as an art form and business. Artists struggle so much to make their talents into a successful career and this is kind of an excellent way to make that talent a viable career option as well as a viable business venture.
OMG SM ADDED SUBTITLES, LIKE WTF. THIS WILL GO DOWN TO THE SM HOLY HISTORY!!! EVERYONE, PLS APPRECIATE THIS MOMENT, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF THE SM HISTORY. I was about to watch it but it's 30+ mins, and I have to shower...
This is such a surprise that I think I need to screenshot the beautiful moment. SM I know you're reading this, pls add more subtitles for future videos!
In Nct 2.0 Kun said that he was one of the ones who were wearing the mask and he debuted in 2019, so does that mean that there are other nct members who are also wearing the mask but have not debuted yet? 🤔
If you know Mickey Mouse Club, all the kids are part of smrookies, the boys got their debut. They are in NCT dream now. But the girls, no one debut....
Watching this again and realizing that Winwin, yes, Winwin, is the centre of this show. Winwin has always been at the top of this show and has always been the most loved member in NCT. Now, he's doing so well- exceptionally well in China. He's slowly making a name for himself. Let's hold our breaths, a new domination is at hand! Let's WINWIN!!
almost every inventor was called crazy in their time... that time, nobody believed in exo's concept and also for nct's concept. now look how far they've grown. lee soo man is truly s legend i hope to learn from him personally one day.
I'm back here again after SM dropped the 'NCT 2020 YearDream : Stage 0 - The 7th Sense (The first encounter of a Dream)' and I'm getting goosebumps, like how could SM think about something like this?? 🤯
He mentioned label SJ. And now label SJ is signing to a american label company. Now Elfs who waited suju for years can now have their super show experience.
This is more than globalization, this is domination. SM is creating more than a culture, it's creating an era. I don't hate the idea, if anything I think it's amazing, very 21st century. And I personally think South Korea owes SM a lot for their rapid growth and increase in economical strength, especially with this project on the run. The question of "is this mega project SM-achievable?", I say no doubt, SM is capable of galactic incorporation if they want to. But like every other SM-related-problem out there: will they be able to sustain this? or will the time bomb catch up faster than expected? If expected? Just saying.
think about the global presence of kpop now :) with BTS winning a billboard award, all the famous youtubers reacting to kpop, even famous american singers and actors tweeting about and talking about kpop in interviews ----> i think it's a very good time now!
ThIs iS uS but nct exo and sj group concepts are different. Nct is a limitless kind of group, they can add members and debut units in different cities all over the world. NCT is starting their domination NOW..
I can only understand the surface level of hardship Taeyong must have gone through to become the center and Main position for dance and rap of such a large group. You cant just be a pretty face coz all you're competitors are top tier talents as well. That's why I'm sure that he came out to be the top for everything to secure that spot. Also, Hansol is here and introduced as part of NCT. I'm still shooked that he didn't continue to become part of NCT. We will never know the actual reason.
Lee Sooman coined the term 'Culture Technology' in the late 90s when SM decided to launch its artists and culture content throughout Asia. Even from SuJu-M and EXO's debut with both exo-k and exo-m you could see his experimentation with the concept, NCT is the next logical step in achieving Sooman's global expansion of Culture Technology. SM has always been at the forefront of the Hallyu wave and their willingness to innovate is a testament to its success.
2 years ago... Ppl said that NCT brand will become popular, but the individuals will be just another face coz their unlimited member.. Well, how dare you can forget Taeyong, Yuta, Johnny, Taeil, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Kun, Winwin, Ten, Jungwoo, Lucas, Mark, Haechan, Jaemin, Jeno, Renjun, Chenle, Jisung, and now Hendery, Xiaojun, Yangyang and still count... There are not just brand, but consists the beautiful, adorable, talented, cute, crackheads boys! They're shining as individuals too.. How can I'll forget them, my life is full of NCT high quality content right now. Keep me busy everyday... So blessed! 💚💚💚 Damn, I'm already trapped in NCT hole..
First time watching this and I got goosebumps bcoz @ 34:58 "Beautiful" bgm is playing... It was really made before NCT debut,, so glad they let NCT2021 sing this song 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
No wonder Sm doesn't play with out companies, they are on a whole other level of thinking and innovation. Mr. Lee has a great vision for the future of k-pop.
For someone who's a new NCTzen like me, stanning NCT now is one of the things I'll definitely not regret, coz imagine I'mma stan them much later in the future, then I keep on searching 'NCT back in 2016, NCT SM rookies, NCT variety shows back in 2017 and so on'. I mean, just now I'm having a hard time tracking all their videos and programs they're in, plus I'mma want to watch NCT Life Seasons, NCT Daily, NCT music, NCT dance, then there's some SM Station songs that they are in, plus their comebacks every now and then. I swear, knowing NCT now made a rainbow of happiness in my quarantine life. And I love it. Stan NCT now and you'll be fed weekly with amazing contents from their videos.
