However, media censorship policies under the Chun Doo-hwan government discouraged him from a career in the Korean music industry.[citation needed]

In the early s, Lee decided to leave the entertainment world in order to pursue a career in computer engineering.

He went abroad to work on a master's degree at California State University, Northridge,[10] where he witnessed the rise of "superstars of the MTV generation" such as Michael Jackson.[1] Inspired by the heyday of MTV in the United States, Lee set his sights on laying the foundation for the modern Korean pop music industry.

In , after four years of saving money and gaining experience in the industry, he established an entertainment company called SM Studio (named after his initials) in the Apgujeong neighborhood of Seoul, and signed singer Hyun Jin-young. During the s, SM Studio developed an in-house system that looked after all aspects of its artists' careers.[4] Lee's approach was targeted at teenage audiences, and took a holistic view of the qualities needed to become a successful entertainer.[11] The company was renamed SM Entertainment in In , he founded the music production company Like Planning.[12]

In February , Lee resigned from his position as a member of SM's board of directors, but maintained a role in the company's "management and artist development" divisions.[13] He continued to exert influence over SM through his production company, Like Planning,[14] taking 6% of their revenue as a consultancy fee for his involvement in the music production process.[12] He remained the biggest shareholder,[15] controlling the company's management rights.[16] He founded the music publishing company Culture Technology Group Asia in May and drone company LeePollux in February [17]

In , KB Asset Management, SM's third-largest shareholder, sent an open letter to the company complaining that Like Planning was taking 46% of SM's operating profit each year.[18] They demanded a merger between Like Planning and SM, which the company rejected.[12] On 23 January , Lee Soo-man was listed by Billboard as one of the world's influential music industry leaders.[19][20] He worked on South Korean girl group Loona's EP [#], which was his first ever project away from his namesake SM Entertainment.[21]

–present: departure from SM Entertainment

In October , SM announced that they would terminate their production contract with Lee's Like Planning by the end of the year.[22] On 3 February , SM said that they would restructure the company without the help of Lee, adopting a multi-production center system to replace his role as chief producer.[23]Kakao Entertainment purchased a % stake in SM, making them the second-largest shareholder, and signed a business agreement with SM to fund their plans.[24] Lee, objecting to this, filed an injunction against the issuance of new shares and convertible bonds, which was upheld by the court.[25] He sold his stake in SM to Hybe Corporation, making them the biggest shareholder.

Hybe announced their intention to acquire the company with Lee's support. This sparked a battle for SM's management rights, pitting Lee and Hybe against the SM executives and Kakao.[26]

Lee Sung-soo, SM's co-CEO and Lee's nephew by marriage, uploaded a video to YouTube in which he levelled a series of accusations at Lee.

In the video, he claimed that Lee had founded a company called CT Planning Limited in Hong Kong in to evade taxes, through which he was taking 6% of earnings from artists' overseas activities. The company had been established using SM's assets but was owned solely by Lee, and was the foreign equivalent of Like Planning. He also said that Lee wanted to force artists to publicly declare his importance to the company and attempted to insert environmental references into songs to promote his business interests.[14][27][28] The National Tax Service said they would investigate the claims of tax evasion.[29] Lacking the funds of their competitor, Hybe eventually withdrew from the takeover battle, enabling Kakao to become the largest shareholder and obtain management rights.[30] Lee released a statement saying he was "moving toward the future".[31]

Upon leaving SM, Lee established a company called Blooming Grace, which will focus "on the fusion of culture and technology".

He acquired part of the Chinese autonomous aerial vehicle company EHang.[17]

Controversies

Embezzlement case and conviction

In , the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the Republic of Korea found evidence of Lee earning tens of billions worth of illegal market profits in August by acquiring billion worth of stocks when listing stocks of SM Entertainment at KOSDAQ by a paid-in capital increase.[37] The Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the Republic of Korea also investigated Lee regarding circumstantial evidence of lobbying to producers in broadcasting stations and keeping a tremendous amount of cash in his personal office and vaults.[38]

Lee tried to escape prosecution by staying overseas from June , and was found in a golf course in Los Angeles on 2 August in the same year.[39] While on the run, Lee's passport was nullified and Lee was chased by Interpol.[40] Lee eventually came back to Korea to be investigated on 22 May [41] A pre-arrest warrant was issued on 7 October,[42] and Lee was arrested on 8 October.[43] On 14 October, Lee was approved of bail after paying 30 million won.

On 19 October, Lee was prosecuted without detention.[44]

In September , the Supreme Court of Korea sentenced Lee to two years of imprisonment along with three years of probation.[45] Lee was released in a special exemption in commemorating the fourth year of Roh Moo-hyun's presidency.[citation needed]

Slave contract

In , three members of the boy bandTVXQ took their management agency SM Entertainment owned by Lee to court, claiming that the agency's year-contract (often nicknamed a slave contract) was too long, too restrictive, and gave them almost none of the profits from their success.[46][47] The following year, in , South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) created a rule that limited entertainment contracts to seven years.[48]

Other controversies

In , Lee Soo-man was alleged to have violated foreign exchange rules, having failed to report real estate purchased in Los Angeles, as mandated by the Foreign Exchange Law.

His company responded that it was a "mistake" made by their American subsidiary.[49] In , he was included in the names of figures in the Pandora Papers. He was mentioned times across documents, tying him to eight paper companies in Hong Kong, five of which used a nominee service to conceal the source of their funds. SM Entertainment denied the allegations and said the companies had been founded using his father's assets.[50] Lee and SM were investigated by the National Tax Service following suspicions that he had omitted financial information and leaked company money in corporate transactions.

As a result, SM was ordered to pay the government billion won.[51]
