Kinumi Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 [spoiler=i don't have anyone to rant about to so i guess im dumping it here]did you know that kpop contracts are so aggressively oppressive that if you search up "slave contract" on wikipedia the article is about kpop contracts??? i mean from an outsider's perspective it seems pretty okay right?/// being worshiped by girls worldwide and makin mad money. but actually that's not the case!! idols have to sign AGGRESSIVELY LONG CONTRACTS (tvxq's contracts lasted 13 years) and they also have AGGRESSIVELY OPPRESSIVE thingos--like, while someone is training under an entertainment company, the company pays for the trainee's living expenses, food, singing/dancing/acting lessons, etc. and they begin to pay off that debt once they debut. the problem is that the debt keeps piling up because the company adds money from promotions and hairstyling and makeup and plastic surgery and other lessons (and they get to decide how much to pay the teachers!! so say if you knew someone who could teach you ballet for free, the company could say no we're gonna pay this teacher a hundred thousand dollars to teach you) and the profits that the idol(s) bring in are split: 30 percent goes toward paying off their debt and 70 percent goes toward the company. and the biggest biggest thing is that the amount isn't even transparent!! the company could tell you "we spent a million dollars on promotions" when really they spent ten bucks. you don't know!! you just have to trust the company!! and what do they have to gain by telling you the truth? not to mention the dating ban. i don't actually know how long the dating ban lasts--my guess is that it's different for each band--but i remember one idol saying "how are we supposed to sing about love if we're not allowed to love, ourselves?" even after the ban expires it's pretty obvious that rabid fangirls will not let you date anyone. ever. one of my favourite idols dated this actress a few years back and !! good for him, right?? you'd think that people would be happy that he's happy, right??? no! i'm so surprised! girls were sending hate to the actress's website (which she had to shut down) and they had to break up. later the singer ended up crying on stage (HE'S VERY SENSITIVE I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THIS TO HIM) and begging for forgiveness and no one deserves that. he's a 26-year-old man; what do you expect??? and in an even more insane case, this one idol recently followed an australian model on instagram and she got a bunch of hate for it--keep in mind that she had literally never interacted with him, which was even more ??? i also remember this one idol navigating a crowd and this girl punched him in the face because she "figured that he'd remember her if she punched him." idols have also gotten into car accidents from fans following them around too eagerly and had to be hospitalized, and there's even a "fan" dubbed the idol-killer because she's so intent on her favourite band's success that she's tried to attack other idols by adding hot glue, benzene, diarrhea medicine, hydrochloric acid, etc into drinks and giving it to them before performances. one singer had a seizure on-stage because of this, but thankfully most of her attempts have failed and she hasn't done anything for several years. being a kpop idol also brings in major major privacy issues. and yeah, i guess that should be expected for a celebrity. but there's actually a term in korea for these stalker fans because they're so commonplace, and there are taxi companies dedicated to driving these crazed "fans" around since they tend to be young girls that have dropped out of school to devote their time to stalking their idol. i actually saw a video of the first singer i talked about earlier coming back to his entertainment company building at 3 to 4 a.m. because he hosts a 2 a.m. radio program and there were a bunch of girls loitering around. at 4 a.m. in the parking lot. he just kept his head down and covered his face with his arms while checking in, and you could distinctly hear him kind of whispering like "please don't take a photo please don't take videos" but u know how girls do. it's insane. and that is why kpop a shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
