[@LeylaKaratas]

the rose is my favorite band and i've been a fan of them since debut.... it makes me furious to hear j&star's bs claims about not paying the rose because ''they didn't earn any money''. - they've been on multiple (sold out) world tours - they write and produce their own music - they released their albums through makestar, a crowd funding website, where they not only reached 100% of their funding goal, but actually earned more than TEN times the amount of money they wanted to earn - don't quote me on this but i think most of the members even brought their own instruments when they joined the company so i'm wondering: where did all that money go? what exactly was the reason they couldn't pay the rose for YEARS? also, suddenly bringing up ''romantic partners'' and saying the rose were lying to the company seems kinda sus to me... feels like they're making up stuff to piss off the fans..? because the fanbase has been nothing but suppportive of the boys throughout their lawsuit and i haven't seen a single person side with the company. i obviously don't know the members personally, but i'm 100% sure, without a doubt, that they're saying the truth, they're the kindest and most hard working artists i've ever had the pleasure to meet. i'm glad that they're out of that shit company and i hope from the bottom of my heart, that they'll get the support and love they deserve, when they continue making music in the future. thank you for this video and bringing light to the rose's situation! sorry for my bad english, btw ^^;

They have such a gorgeous and unique sound and it pains me to think how little it seems they made because of their company. I even remember thinking last year ‘God, it seems like they tour a lot. I wish they would focus on new material instead’ Considering how profitable concerts can be in comparison to a comeback (YG am looking at you) it is so infuriating how exploited they were.

[@chaesstrawberry9385]

i'm hhappy you talked about it. the boys honestly deserve better :(

[@planet_yeo]

I'm learning so much about kpop companies that I never knew, and I'm glad I do now. It's good to know what's going on with your faves

[@hanabunin131]

it is so important to know whats going on and not close your eyes like many fans do :( i get that they dont want to ruin their view on the company or industry itself BUT we must know about the mistreatment of so many groups... often we cant do much but we can support them even more at least

[@nashwaf9]

also for their 2019 'we rose you' tour, i'm 95% sure their tour schedule made them have a concert every other day, with the day between being for transport. imagine how tired they must've been, having to perform with no rest. i hope the members remember black roses rose then, and i hope everyone else who isnt a black rose checks out their music and shows their support. the rose mean so much to me, they are a truly amazing band 🌹

[@ezra6898]

I'm just going to outright say it, this company is disgusting. When confronted with the damage they'd inflicted they immediatey opted to shift the blame onto their own artists and use whatever they had, blatant lies probably included, to clean their own name. Despite absences, dating history etc. not being part of the issue at all, they were hoping it would spark negative response from fans that would turn them against the group. It's despicable and completely unacceptable. I hope The Rose will be able to recover and continue to have a successful career without their horrible former company and that no one ever auditions for it again. Truly.

[@honeyxian8135]

This series is one of my favourites on KZbin. Really eye-opening and thanks for making it!! I really hope you could make a video on TOP Media some day. They've done so many bad things throughout the years it's time someone with your voice and audience exposed them. They have mistreated and poorly managed every group they've debuted so far except for MCND (but alas it is only the beginning of their career and I fear for these kids). Teen Top carry the company's name, had a successful debut, but as soon as they got popular, TM sent them on a tour instead of trying to promote them more actively, thus losing the hype around them. It's been almost a year since they last had a comeback and one of the members recently said that the company pushes them to make KZbin videos and doesn't care about their music and that they're making 70$ each month. They debuted another boygroup called 100% and basically let them rot in the dungeon. They didn't care about them at all to the point where they even gave them worse meals than Teen Top because "Teen Top are the more popular ones", although there was no bad blood between the two. They barely give 100% comeback and promotions and it's obvious that they won't put any effort into them. Even after their leader passed away suddenly TM wouldn't allow the fans to create a memorial for him and did nothing to support the group during this difficult time. After 100% TM debuted Up10tion, a 10 member boy group. They had a successful debut and their career was going upwards but sadly one of the members got involved in a scandal that was proven to be false. TM did not handle the situation well at all, but thankfully let the member take a hiatus from activities after his mental health deteriorated. This is the only good thing TM has done for these boys, but unfortunately they stopped caring about Up10tion there and then. Even when their member returned from hiatus TM promoted them badly. They sent two of the members, Wooseok and Jinhyuk, to PDX, where they excelled and gained immense popularity. Wooseok made it into X1 but Jinhyuk was eliminated despite being one of the most popular trainees. TM could have used his fame to promote their group but instead chose to debut him solo and BAN HIM from speaking about his Up10tion members as well as Up10tion's fans and vice versa. The group had their last comeback last summer and one of the members told fans that they had no support from the company during promotions. And when Wooseok came back from X1 they did the same with him. They also put the group's leader on hiatus after he got involved with fake dating rumors and have since said that he is on a break for health reasons and that Up10tion will comeback as 7 this summer, but nothing more has been said. Their newest boygroup is MCND. What was surprising was how much money and promotions TM gave them, despite being a rookie group. They went all out with promoting them, but it seems to have reached the point of them being overworked. They have new MVs for their songs being released all the time and just finished promotions for the first time in months since their debut. It breaks my heart to see so many talented boys get their dreams crushed because of their company and I feel like the kpop community needs to know what is going on. I have a soft spot for Up10tion as they are my ultimate group and I am seeing the members in such a devastating condition, even those who the company is now promoting as soloists, and they need all the attention they can get. There is a thread on Twitter with even more information: twitter.com/unvsjen/status/1236072875347644417?s=20 If you reached this point, I sincerely thank you. Please give a voice to my boys and all the boys under this terrible company who can't use their own to reach out for help.

[@miawithsuga5868]

Poor MCND, they are actually overworked. Two comebacks as new artists within four days of each other! (i think?) I love 100% and Teen Top's music, but could never stan properly because TM mismanages them so badly.

[@honeyxian8135]

@@miawithsuga5868 TM seems to not want their groups to be successful. I don't even know what else to think at this point. It's so disappointing. I hope all their artists leave the company once their contracts expire and start over somewhere better. They deserve so much more than this.

[@factsoverfelix]

Seriously!! I love Teen Top, 100%, and up10tion, and to me, they have some of my favourite songs in kpop, as well as, as far as I could tell, great personalities. I had hoped that the bad management was behind them, but when I heard about all the of problems that the members of up10tion are STILL having, it just makes me mad and extremely disappointed. MCND is one of my favourite rookie groups too, and they're so incredible, it would be awful if something bad was happening behind the scenes. Anyway, I would definitely watch a video on TOP media

"we are suffering huge losses.." 14:37 - Thought they didn't make any profit? How can you suffer a loss if you didnt get a profit? Lying through their teeth. Say you have the documents proving that they did get paid, proving the members said they received the payment, but can't send copies of it to them? I just hope The Rose comes out on top and continues to be successful after this, whatever they choose to do next. The constant touring reminded me of another group...the band barely had 2 songs/singles and already had a tour- I get that they were popular, but couldn't the tour wait until after they at least had a mini album? Not important to the issue but just my opinion

[@animefean1]

honestly idk whats worse being over worked or being left in the dungeon for years , this industry is ruthless, even tho i dont know anything about The Rose i can relate this video to Twice's early 2017 to early 2019 (2 year period) were they had comebacks every month between Korea and Japan (plus all the tours and other promotional things they did at the time) and at that time i was seriously scared for them, they had no time to even sleep, so i can just imagine how the fans of The rose feel... but at the same time i see how frustrated idols get when they dont get any work (and ofc thats totally normal considering no promotions mean no money made) not to mention in this industry u can be forgotten in 0.2 seconds if u dont have a stable comeback schedule, so this is a shitty situation overall

they also cancelled one of their europe concerts on november 22nd of last year (around two weeks prior to it) and never gave an actual explanation for it. we later found out they were going to an award show in germany (if i'm not mistaken) on the same day the concert was supposed to be held. i remember being really hurt about it but know that we know about this i believe it was j&star's solo decision and they did not include the band's opinion on it.

The queen is back exposing terrible companies. I missed you so much 😁💕

[@MisoSoup03]

The Rose diserved so much better, I can't wait till Dojoon, Hajoon and Jaehyung're released from the military. Thy need to have a spectacular comeback on their own 🌹🖤

[@whalienpippa]

Thank you so much for working so hard and doing such thorough research! It's really cleanly put and it was a relief for me and my three braincells. I really hope The Rose can just manage themselves (although the Kpop industry really dun werk like that) Imagine how The Rose would pave the way for self management and ACTUAL talents will come into limelight because the audience gets to choose a band's popularity based on music and taste. It'll be like a whole ass movement- aaaand I'm getting way ahead of myself

[@alinarovanpera4524]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING ABOUT THIS! as a huge fan of the rose, the news saddened me so much. especially because I felt really betrayed since I was at their concert and bought their official merch, where did my money go?

[@imshyyyborahae1396]

Please support this talented boys🤧 Stream BLACK ROSE they dedicated it to us

[@josiahh20]

Something doesn't have to be only "unique" for it to be great.

[@kuroha_00]

13:45 is so infuriating and unprofessional, i hope the boys find another company and keep performing, i'd hate to see their talent wasted just like that

[@yehezkieltheodore2542]

This series is what kept me going through quarantine 💕💖

The Rose: shows evidence J&Star: no we did pay The Rose: says they were not ready for a marathon of concerts J&Star: they were The Rose: shows evidence J&Star: that's a lie

[@jadamaile05]

omg i’m so glad you made this one! i’ve been trying to find out more information on the lawsuit and i could only find the boys’ original statement! It sucks that J&Star has been treating them so terrible...Artists are not robots, they too need breaks! and they got no profit from any of those promotions and tours? It’s terrible to hear.

[@Rubys_Rouge]

I suggest you to do a video about Winning Insight M. The (mis)managed Chaos, Airplane, Piggy Dolls, Mr.Mr and Kiss&Cry (and maybe others). The way they treated Piggy Dolls is so messed up. The company wanted a plus size concept so they treated girls like fattened geese by forcing them to eat (pizza) even if they weren't hungry. But thair first song didn't well. So for the next comeack the girls had to loose weigh (like 20kg each). At the end the company just changed the whole line up without any consideration for the members and tryed to erase the existance of the previous members (deleting pictures and videos). Kiss&Cry had a very good debut song Domino Game, but despite the attention the girls were gaining, the company wasn't satisfied because they wanted an instant success. So they put the groupe into the dunjon. The only comeback fans got was Revenge a good song but with a low budget mv with ONLY ONE MEMBER (Haena) in it. Haena was the one who announced the disbandement in a TV-show. I don't recall if the company said something after that. I don't know much about Mr.Mr I just remember fans complaining about the lack of promotions. But one of the members Ryu got physicaly abused but I don't know the details. I don't know much about Chaos and Airplane, they got a few (good) songs and then...

[@amautifect]

Gosh I miss them 😭 They were also called Windfall before they were The Rose, not windmill lol

[@raphaelgiglio1424]

Thank you for this, this was very detailed and informative. You have clearly done an immense amount of informed research which definitely shows an unbiased and truthful perspective of the situation. I love the Rose so so much, and it makes me distraught knowing they can't continue doing what they love because of things out of their hand. I only wish they can come back, hopefully under a fair, new agency.

[@andrefaelnar]

It's sad to see groups that have all the potential in the world but due to the questionable decisions/schemes of that certain company to go along with their incompetence and ineptitude, their talents go to waste and its a damn shame 😔😔😔

[@headinthec_lou_ds4025]

I love this series, thank you for taking the time to research all of this! I have been a Black Rose since 2018, and I was so shocked when I found out about their poor treatment in February. They really do deserve better, and I think your videos spread a lot of awareness to how entertainment companies mistreat their idols. There's just one tiny error I want to point out to avoid confusion for those who are newer to or not in the fandom: The Rose's former name is "Windfall" and not "Windmill". Let's keep supporting The Rose 🌹

[@shell0ka261]

For the next video: Space music entertainment.

[@gut4875]

this is me begging the rose to go to rbw please i beg i love the rose literally with my whole existence go to rbw pls i beg also thank you so much for this video i would love for more people to learn abt the rose & their situation

[@coco6191]

at the end of the day the rose has way to much talent for them to be overthrown if they don't end up under a entertainment company by the end of next year ill make one and scout them myself 😤

[@justabandloverx5494]

I'm a pretty new black rose and I've been busy with exams too. Now i feel so so bad for not knowing this was going on.. they work so hard and deserve so much love. Hearing this news breaks my heart. May everything be solved soon, and may they stay strong together through this process as well :( Thank you so much for this video too.

[@caramelfrapz]

Bruh-I was just about to start looking into this band, I hope they can continue someday with a better company 😖 well I still can, it’ll help them anyways 🥺

[@btyt152]

Please do an episode on WKS ene and how minah was bullied and traumatized by the other members of i luv, and how the company then ignored it and is redebuting the group without her

[@Hannahvt]

This is what we call modern slavery, y"all

[@urgf7232]

Omg I'm actually somewhat early for once, and I haven't even watched the video yet- I love this series because it can show us how much companies can over-exert their idols, I hope more companies take better care of their idols...

[@LiTtLeMiZzDiVa]

I just love this series because it gives you a look into these companies and show you that no company is good some companies have skeletons in their closet! That’s why I love watching this series, it’s informative.

[@samanthamcginnis2993]

I honestly love The Rose so much and the way their company mistreats them makes me upset.

[@christiano4267]

If they had receipts why not give the receipts to clear your name. I would have handed everything over in a heartbeat because I wouldn’t want anyone to slander my company. So them clearly withholding information shows they’re hiding something and they have done something wrong

[@kuromee9729]

It should be common sense that there is a difference between employees and products. When people become products, it's called slavery. How can something like this happen these days?

[@a_lost_staysider]

i remember being really shocked when i saw the members posting what happened on their ain't accounts in both Korean and English.... media line ent will be an interesting company to explore about...im still hella mad about the abuse and what happened was so scary. i want more people to know about what companies are capable of. i was such a big fan of the eastlight...

[@marisawij]

big hit should extend their range and take this band honestly. they will be SUPER successful. and alsoo their personalities match with bighit artists as well

[@kendall.111.]

idk if you’ve already done this but you should talk about Newkidd and their missing members. the company isn’t telling the fans what’s going on and it’s sketchy

[@gokiburi_]

I noticed that too and I’m getting worried

[@julietle7318]

So what I’m gathering from most of your videos is that MOST companies are trash! Sigh. All of those poor idols. Can we get a small break... a video of a really good company? Or some bad companies with a little bit of good in them? I can only think of Pnation. Anyways, keep up the content.

[@jenthehermit72]

The Rose is a great band, hope they find a better company.

[@SkyeMueller]

I rly hope they win. They're the nicest guys ever 💜

[@emmaprims3243]

They deserve better company. I still remember how happy they're perform in stage. One of my best memories in 2019... Fighting!!! The Rose 🌹

[@skyes-ea]

I really love and appreciate this series, it is so important to talk about things like this. thank you for your hard work!

[@ChaennieLisoo]

Thank you! 💓

[@peach_z6122]

The rose deserve so much more😭

[@micsnmatch]

I'm so glad that they are finally free from J&star! A few days ago Woosung said that he will be back with The Rose this year!, "I'll be back with The Rose soon, this year for sure". Please show them lots of support once they get back together. Also stream "Beauty and the Beast" !!
