Bada, a member of the girl group S.E.S. and a musical actress, met Lee Soo-man, former chief producer of SM Entertainment.

On the 20th, Bada posted several selfies with Lee Soo-man on her personal social media, writing, "With Lee Soo-man, the eternal producer of S.E.S."

That day, Bada expressed deep gratitude and respect toward Lee, saying, "Our teacher who has made us think, learn, and experience so much since the moment we started music."

Notably, Bada drew attention by recalling Lee's exceptional foresight in the past. She stated, "Even before the term 'K-POP' existed, 30 years ago, he often clearly told me, as the leader of S.E.S., that Korean idol music would become the center of the global market and that such an era would surely come in the near future, so we must prepare."

She continued, "Now looking back, all of his words from then are incredibly surprising, and each one resonates deeply. Although I was just 18 years old at the time, I will never forget those days when he always treated me as an artist, offering thoughtful questions and gentle guidance."

Finally, Bada conveyed her special affection, saying, "I believe I have been able to reach this point thanks to your precious teachings. I respect and love you, the father of S.E.S., whose valuable lessons remain in my heart with gratitude even as time passes." Her words created a warm atmosphere.

S.E.S., the group Bada belongs to, was the first-generation girl group produced by SM Entertainment after its establishment on November 28, 1997.

Lee Soo-man signed a non-compete agreement in 2023 when he sold his stake in SM Entertainment to HYBE, promising not to produce domestic albums for three years. This clause expired last February.
