Lee Soo Man: King of K-Pop

Lee Soo Man watches a monitor where boys who are still unknown to the world are dancing. He already sees future idols in them, though they are just repeating the choreographer's moves. This 2025 music documentary reveals not just the creator of K-pop, but the architect of an entire cultural universe. From the first hip-hop experiments in the 90s to the global dominance of BTS and Blackpink, the camera follows the man who turned local music into a worldwide phenomenon. We witness auditions, sleepless nights in the studio, tough negotiations, and moments of triumph. The film explores the price of success, the balance between creativity and business, and that very 'formula' competitors try to decipher. It's a portrait of a visionary whose obsession with details reshaped Asian and global pop culture.
