[@spectral__]

As far as I've seen, KQ is different, at least. The guys wouldn't be able to have built so much muscle mass if they were making them do extreme diets. KQ's CEO says he treats his artists and trainees like athletes. Athletes need fuel, so while I'm sure they do go on diets, they are not starvation diets. More like the standard chicken/fish, rice, and vegetable diets that many people choose to go on to build muscle and reduce body fat the healthy way, so the body still has all the nutrients it needs.

[@Tahitian_Cats-45]

Every company that ever existed is in it for the money, but the biggest point is how the K-pop industry works. Its common sense that the companies have to put you through this. The weight restrictions, few hours of sleep, it's all to make you perfect so you don't get severe hate. If they didn't put you through that stuff the fans would destroy you and your career. If you can't handle it, you shouldn't go in the K-pop industry. Also, there are a lot of things people make out to be so awful, when it's really not a big deal. The kg thing also is a little dumb because she should've researched what she would have to go through in order to be a K-pop artist. I don't blame her for leaving if she discovered that she couldn't handle it, but I believe that it's nothing new, and its normal to go through such things. I'm sure its stressful, but if twice could do it, then there is a small percentage of people who have the strength and a strong passion for music to handle it.

[@farashayounita9210]

It's strange that people almost stop talking about Jeongyeon's and Changbin's weight problems, while the company didn't even stop them performing while "some extreme fans said they're over weight". It's also funny, that when JYPE giving breaks by allowing hiatus for their artists, some influencers actually only care about how many the "hiatus" cases are.

[@angel_t3338]

Saying that westerners or foreigners can't handle the Korean system completely disregard all the artists and trainees that have succeeded in current and well established groups. We don't get to see behind the facade that the company makes and we don't get to see everything that happens behind the scenes. Kpop companies need to take more of the KQ approach where KQ's CEO said that Kpop artists need to be treated more like athletes, good nutrition, a healthy regiment of exercise and good sleep. I wonder what a group would be like if they treated trainee's like potential olympic athletes instead of starving their trainees.

[@von1glik]

Korean kids after school go to academies so they normally have 12-14h days. They only get one day off. They have a culture of sacrificing youth to achieve their goals. Some in academics and others in idol training. One of KG accusations was that her teacher called her a "terrible dancer". The other was about 12h days that are a norm for every korean kid not only an idol. Trainees know what they are signing up for and they do it willingly and eagerly.

[@maayafajfer2922]

its not just k-pop but people in south Korea and east Asia in general are obsessed with small body proportions if you be working normal jobs they would judge you or keep starring at you if your not slim enough like china and japan are pretty harsh in terms of what people look like so they have to starve themselves in order to fit the standard its insane. I still don't get why many people become kpop stars even though they know they will go through this its either because of there strong passion or something else and those people are probably strong I am 16 now when I was 12 I wanted to become an idol but I don't know anymore its crazy plus I need to get my education like what if I cant debut or my career is a flop how and what am I supposed to do instead. I would rather become a manager for a group or a staff member under a kpop company these days I'm looking more into there recruitment process and I actually want to go to college/university to study maybe someday I can help these people you know I need a backup plan too I hear lots of trainees and minor idols don't go to college or university because of the crazy schedules they don't want to study too much either maybe they arent the best at it. My mom did agree and say I can be an idol if I want when I was younger but I have to go to college and get an education or it wont happen if I tell her about the insane schedules and everything she will say just drop your idol life even though I want it because education is more important in that case. from what shes saying I agree I don't think I will become a kpop idol I will work as a staff or manager of a kpop group or even start my own kpop company if I can and I will treat them right cause I still get to see my favs right and help them too

[@grec.]

I feel bad for idols. Although they chose this career, i think it's probably because even after hearing about other idols' bad experiences, they still wanna try and make their own dreams come true. They probably don't imagine how bad it can be. But in regards of the Beauty standards, I don't think they are exclusively practiced in the entertainment industry alone, but i think it is mostly the society that expects idols and celebrities to look "perfect", always "happy" and be "a role model". So i think the companies are just a part of the whole pressure k-pop idols must endure. Let's hope these companies find better ways to treat idols better. But starting from the fact that idols are not considered to be workers, there's really not so much that can be done regarding their human rights. I think idols should unite and ask the goverment (or whoever manages those rights) to make new laws to consider k-pop artists to be included in the worker rights laws, otherwise the abuse will continue, sadly.

[@melaniepblc5754]

Don't you guys think that "anxiety" is used as an euphemism for "depression" ? Because anxiety sounds like something the idol is suffering from due to their own brain malfunctioning, so it's not as bad as depression. Depression can be caused by your environnement, such as stressful work environnement, significant repeated lack of sleep, and other things the agency is guitly of. Also because as someone who has anxiety, I know you don't just "heal" from it after some rest. It's something that's always there and you have to learn how to live with it.

I honestly think that JYP is the best entertainment company out of all companies and Stray Kids are not being forced to diet. They've all been getting steadily more buff and only Felix diets because of personal convictions. And the company cares for their mental and physical health. Lia just recently came back from a hiatus and seems to be doing well now. Han's anxiety has nothing to do with the company. He's even getting tattoos, which are usually strictly forbidden. Stray Kids have all the creative control over their music and frequently go camping and home to their families. It's easy to criticize knowing absolutely nothing that goes on inside.

[@makeilameadows]

For starters I want to defend JYPE as well just because my stray kids boys are managed there but just because we love the groups and the way some of the staff treat the artists in a positive way doesn’t make them the best company. But We do need to remember that other agencies are like this and it’s horrible. Almost everyone has known about the horrible diet restrictions idols have had to go through but because of the new allegations against JYPE division in America is definitely putting them in the spotlight. But we do need to remember that they are not the only ones who do this. Either way not matter what company, this is absolutely devastating and unfortunately won’t change anytime soon but I hope I’m wrong.

[@Lo_o77777]

2-1,,,It is hard to find someone who committed suicide during their trainee days,,However, there is an incident where a male trainee is presumed to have committed suicide after being eliminated from the debut group,,The greatest stress or shock for a trainee is when they fail to debut and are pushed out in the middle,,Since trainees' goal is to debut, their motivation to commit suicide is very low,,, If a trainee commits suicide, their psychology is unstable, so they give up on lessons, and the company eliminates them or drops out before that,,, If a trainee's mental state is ruined, they leave the company before that,,,, Among idols or celebrities, suicide usually occurs after they retire from active service. In this case, it is usually due to depression or panic disorder caused by loss of popularity or criticism from malicious fans, Goo Hara and Sulli are representative examples.

[@Eyd20]

JYPE, HYPE, YG SM, etc. are companies that have to make money. They don't train idols as charity. No one is forced to be in the company. There is no doubt that it is hard work, but no one is forced to do it. eg where are KG's parents? she is 17 years old now. thus minor. and quite frankly, whether we like it or not, there is a difference in how we work in the different countries/parts of the world. The USA is known for suing everything and everyone. It's not their fault, it's everyone else's, so they've also got a brain they can use. South Korea must fight for their rights, it is not up to you or me. What we can choose is whether we want to follow these idols or not. Fans are so double standards, do they want to attend comebacks, concerts, shows, etc. No... so fans are just as much into this. It's the Idols themselves too, they want to be famous, but we blame the companies when we think they look tired, etc. I simply don't believe they haven't had food, they're not idiots. They were probably not allowed to drink cola, eat cake, sweets, etc. and had to stick to a strict healthy diet. JYPE embraces organic food, etc. and with all that activity I would lose weight pretty quickly. JYPE is not a bad company, you can hear that from their groups. but it is a company (like all other companies) that wants to make money. Then it will suit people to stop using idols' hit status and what they have to deal with, for example Han Jisung's anxiety, so something that is JYPE's fault. it's abusing the idols nobody knows anything about

[@Eyd20]

The famous in the West also have lots of problems like drugs, suicide diseases and they also have companies like us making money from them

[@Real-ranchia]

In K-pop, the reason why idols have to comply with the company's unreasonable demands or instructions // 1,,This is because the company provides the funds for their training and debut,,Idols are just performers,,All rights belong to the company,,,Idols share the profits with the company,,, If an idol wants to reject the company's instructions and do as they please, they can start their own company, take lessons with their own funds, and debut.,,This is the American way, but this American way has failed.,,, In the case of a dispute between KG and the company, if they feel that the company's demands are unreasonable, they can just leave the company and give up being an idol, or they can work as a singer in a company they created with their own funds.,,

[@j.8478]

It seems like it’s not just JYP that these are issues, many companies do the same and/or other such troubling acts when it comes to their idols. At the end of the day idols sign contracts. It’s just sad how beauty standards are so high in Korea especially as an idol.

[@lunaskye621]

What’s disturbing about the VCHA case is that I’ve read so many comments from Koreans stating westerners can’t handle the K pop system. So in other words, starvation, eating disorders, mental health problems and thought or even actions to unalive oneself is considered normal. I think idols aren’t even seen as humans in South Korea, more like they are Gods or something else otherworldly. It’s gotten to the point where idols unaliving themselves isn’t surprising anymore because it happens so often. Companies treat their idols like this because they know that’s what their main consumer base, South Korea, wants. I think the societal sickness runs deep.

These two systems are the exact opposite// 1,,,the abuse that Americans talk about is not considered abuse in Korea, and even more so in East Asia,,,in East Asia/Korea, they actually work or study like K-pop trainees,,,the older generation forces them to do this,,,,,they are the ones who have lived that way since the older generation,,, Americans can have such a social life,,but that is limited to countries like the US,,countries other than the US cannot develop by doing things the American way,,,

[@basickbaekhyun]

the thing we should also realise is that maybe there are relatively a lot of JYP artists taking breaks due to mental health issues because JYP 'allows' it.

But the slave contract, the blacklisting, and inhumane treatment of their idols put me off. I really thought JYP was different cause I haven’t heard of any issues. But I think they are all bad. Just because I don’t know doesn’t mean there’s nothing bad is happening. Abuse happens behind closed doors. This pisses me off cause I want to support the actual artist not the dang company.

The built-in characteristics of the American-style singer training system // 1,,KATSEYE was originally created by HYBE through auditions only in the United States,, meaning that they were pursuing members composed of pure Americans,,, but failed,, the reason being that the skills of the applicants recruited that way were too lacking,, so HYBE changed direction to auditions from all over the world,,, and that is how KATSEYE, a global girl group, was created,,,,,

You can Yap All You Want STILL These IDOLS are still WORKING at JYPE and are SUCCESSFUL except that former Trainee. IU and WOOJIN are Doing Well in their Own Agencies aswell. KG is WESTERN, even though she got trained by Koreans for a period of time, its too short and its just a tip of a huge iceberg. SHE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE TRAINING PROCESS OF KOREAN AS IT IS CULTURAL. That's one thing that WESTERNS will NEVER GOING TO UNDERSTAND, there is a REASON KPOP is BUILT for KOREANS. Its their Culture, outsider trying desperately to fit in to that industry will fail as it is a HUGE CHANGE from their culture. It will take a toll on their Physical and Mental Health. So Many Attempted and Failed. Turn it the other way around Put a Korean in Western Industry and aee how they got depressed by the overwhelming process of being an artists in western industry. KG Tried to Shake JYPE USA but at the End of the Day, she enter the industry voluntary. She wants to taste the world of kpop, there you go.

[@MisoOpi0]

Doesn’t mean it should be justified or normalized. And of course they’re still working there, if they stopped, imagine all that hard work and pain for nothing as well as hate. Kpop isn’t built for “Koreans” as Kpop itself copied western culture, hip hop, American training in the 1990- early 2000s . Even Korean trainees say how hard as well as parents not really wanting their kids to become idols for all the bad in the community. That’s why most Korean artists try to go into western countries because it’s more laid back and not as strict, nor deadly. Do NOT try to justify this because it can be better.

[@Tahitian_Cats-45]

You're right. however, I think westerners can do it if they research what they will have to do and if they have a strong passion for K-pop as a whole. Edit: I don't think KG did that lol

[@Real-ranchia]

2-1,,, especially many K-pop fans in Western society are pressuring K-pop to abandon the Korean style and adopt the American style,,, but executives and employees of Korean entertainment companies all know well,,, abandoning the Korean style and introducing the American style = the collapse,,, of the K-pop industry. The only answer to this problem is for Americans and Europeans to simply abandon consuming or watching K-pop,,, I haven't found any other solution yet.

2,, Let's take a look at the American style solo singer training structure. This means that singers/musicians who are already complete are contracted by a record company and come out into the world,,,, How many cases are there where singers have excellent skills without systematic lessons over a long period of time??? It's a very small number,,, but the US, including Canada, has a population of 370 million, so this is possible,,,, that's because of the huge population, while Korea has a population of 51 million,,, the secret to K-pop's current success with a small population is nothing more than effort,,, even KATSEYE is ambiguous as an American pop girl group,,, in other words, HYBE should be evaluated as a failure within the American base,,

[@from2000]

honestly JYPE is one of the better companies in kpop, although they are still 'bad'. the whole industry is at fault, and if the purpose of the video was mainly diets and issues within companies, JYP entertainment was probably the worst choice to talk about seeing that other companies like HYBE and SM have extreme issues. i'm not a fan of any company, just making this point clear. apart from the vcha thing going on, remember jype USA was in charge of them and it was them and the staff who is at fault, she even thanked jin young park. jy park hasn't been ceo for a while now but clearly you can see how close he is to groups and idols like skz. instead of counting how many times artists have been on hiatus look at the fact that they've been given these breaks. the company let lia take a break for her mental health until she was ready to come back. they've given han breaks and taken him out of schedules because we know how bad his anxiety and things are, but he's been better now. all trainees and artists go on diets, and although this is not okay at all, it's a 'norm' in the industry. it just doesn't seem like it will change any time soon. in fact its somewhat funny because JYPE artist are kind of more healthy than others, and i'm not trying to put them on the spotlight but jeongyeon and changbin have been so brave in the face of the stereotypes in kpop. to those talking about straykids saying they feel bad for them, i would like to remind you they are the ones who willingly chose to renew their contract this year and they, 3racha, are the ones who push themselves and chose to overwork to produce songs. chan has said it and we all know, so i feel like really skz are doing okay. anyway sorry for making this long, but it needs to be understood. the whole kpop industry and rules are at fault, and i truly think jype is not the worst out there. these are old cases, that doesn't justify them, but all these artists are successful now. without looking at vcha, what else is going on? i stand with kg on her case but remember jype has different divisions with different managements and rules.

[@Real-ranchia]

2,,,Idols who are trained in the American way, such as 6 hours of lessons a day, or who are trained and spent their days, will probably give up and disband in the middle.,,,This is because they have low skills and lack patience, so they often abandon the team and drop out.,,, They are thoroughly trained in the music market and have strong It is a clear fact that Korean girl groups with mental and physical strength and these people have to compete, but they lose in the competition,, and then the company goes bankrupt due to a huge amount of debt.

Personally i think the hiatuses are a good thing. Its good that JYPe let rest idols who need it.

None of their weights look healthy.

I think its about having a good performance on stage... remember when jype made the itzy members cry during a song recording? Or when they were practicing dalla dalla and jyp was their watching them?... i'm not defending kpop labels about this diet thing but this issue's root is the stup!d korean beauty standards and those knetz who criticizes the idols with more weight... we cant do anything about that diet thing unless the kbs changes... for those aspiring idols who wants to debut in korean ent. Industry you must know that this unhealthy things is a part of that industry that as long as kbs is unchanged it will continue to be the same even if how many complains or lawsuits these idols have... if you can't comply with all those required things of this industry then you should not have entered it in the first place... before entering or starting something you must always have a research of the pros and cons of it and decide whether you can push through....
