Some artists represented by SM recently admitted ever regretting being a member of their successful agency.
The answers are f(X)’s Sulli, Krystal, SNSD’s Hyoyeon, and Kangta.
On April 30, the showcase for the movie I AM was held at the CGV Youngdeungpo, in Youngdeungpo, Seoul.
SM’s artists were faced to answer this question: “Have you ever regretted being represented by SM Entertainment.”
f(X)’s “Giant Baby”revealed, “I became a trainee when I was in fifth year in an elementary school, and started loving in a dorm. My family lived in Pusan, so I couldn’t visit my family often, and missed my mom so badly.”
Another f(X) member Krystal revealed, “I didn’t like living in a dorm and being not allowed enough free time.”
SNSD’s dancing queen Hyoyeon gave a similar reason to Sulli’s. “I felt similar to what Sulli felt. For me, commuting from home to work took 3~4 hours. It was pretty hard as I was little.”
I AM is a biographical film featuring SM Town’s artists and their years of efforts and behind stories in the process of becoming world-famous stars—the first Asian singers going on the stage at New York Madison Square Garden, the center of pop. The high-profile movie is out on May 10.
SM Entertainment‘s new documentary film “I AM,” featuring the lives of artists like Kangta, BoA, DBSK,Super Junior, Girls Generation, SHINee, and f(x), cancelled its press premiere scheduled on April 30 without further notice. “I AM” was supposed to have its first premiere event for media and sponsoring companies on April 30 at 4pm.
The PR representative of “I AM” explained, “We’ve had a long and serious meeting regarding the quality of the movie last night until 11pm. All important officials from the distribution company CJ Entertainment, SME, and the director of the movie Choi Jin Sung got together and have concluded that we could make it better.” This representative added, “The biggest reason of the cancellation of today’s movie premiere is data error. We decided to cancel the scheduled premiere, because we wanted to reveal the movie when it is perfect.”
Although the press premiere of “I AM” has been cancelled, the showcase featuring SME’s artists will still continue at 7pm on April 30. The film “I AM” will be in theaters on May 10.
