FYI, S.M. Entertainment is a talent agency, producer, and publisher of Korean pop music, founded by Lee Soo-man. Initially, "SM" was an abbreviation of the agency founder's name, but now stands for "Star Museum". Once the home of groups like H.O.T., S.E.S., and Shinhwa, some of its current roster includes BoA and TVXQ. SM Entertainment also co-publishes Avex Trax releases for Japanese artists such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, and Kumi Koda

It is truth. what they talking about made sense. You need to sacrifice your soul, life, health, physical and mental emotion in order to be a superstar based from South Korea. see how Kwon BoA started her career when she was 11 years old. she had to practise singing and dancing almost everyday from that young age and also learn japanese as S.M management also want her to launch her career in Japan. in such young age, she needed to leave her mum n home to go to Japan. She has miss all the fun life of being a kid and a teenager such as attending school, playing with friends, shopping and hang out with friends.
