Lee Soo-man, Key Producer at A2O Entertainment, rang a golden bell to celebrate his newly debuted girl group’s achievement of the No. 1 spot on A2O LITE (E-Two-O Light).

On the 22nd, the official EYES Magazine SNS account posted a video and caption reading, “Lee Soo-man rings the golden bell at a restaurant. Producer Lee Soo-man hosted a special gathering to mark the successful conclusion of ‘Sidae Forum’ and A2O LITE’s achievement of the No. 1 ranking.”

The video captured Lee Soo-man telling diners at a meat restaurant, “Please eat plenty.”

The diners cheered and applauded, chanting the name of Lee Soo-man, who had paid for their meal.

Lee Soo-man drew attention with his happy expression amid the crowd’s enthusiastic cheers.

Lee Soo-man had been restricted from engaging in domestic entertainment management activities for three years under a non-compete agreement signed when he sold his SM Entertainment shares to HYBE in 2023. However, the agreement was lifted earlier this year, allowing him to resume activities within Korea.

Accordingly, A2O LITE, a nine-member girl group under A2O Entertainment produced by Lee Soo-man, officially debuted on the 13th with the release of their digital single ‘NEON.’ The debut track ‘NEON’ sparked buzz by reaching No. 1 on the Melon Top 100 chart approximately 29 hours after its release.

A2O LITE also claimed the No. 1 spot on music shows. Following their first win on SBS Life’s ‘The Show’ on the 20th, they topped the charts again on MBC M’s ‘Show! Champion’ on the 21st and Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’ on the 22nd, achieving a triple crown.
