Are Kpop Idols Underpaid. Idols arent machines that for sure the only thing people call that theyre manufactured is because theyre trained to be these great performers compared on how performers in other countries. Youre not alone - even boy bands are not spared it seems.
Truthfully I got a phone call from member A last night. During the meeting between the companies Swing Entertainment CEO Cho Yoo Myeong tried to tell the companies that the X1 members wished to participate in the meeting but their requests ended up getting denied. Hara and Sulli the 2 most recent suicides came from the horrible condition of idol training mixed a lot with the double standard of being a Korean women.
And one is even claiming it earns only S7000 a year each - or S580 a month.
Or to put it another way K-Pops biggest stars are earning just under a million Euros a week. Sadly most bands dont make it past 8 years. During the meeting between the companies Swing Entertainment CEO Cho Yoo Myeong tried to tell the companies that the X1 members wished to participate in the meeting but their requests ended up getting denied. As entertainment companies try to.
