      Pink Fantasy for me. Too many leaving because "health issues" or "personal reasons". 5 have come and gone in less than 3 years. 3 left in 2020 alone. Mydoll Ent either has no idea what they're actually doing or it's just bad luck.

    I love this collab, this was awesome! Honestly, I'd love for you to cover what are the requirements to open an entertainment company in Korea, because it's baffling to me how many companies take on trainees that they can't afford to feed or shelter and then are surprised when they get sued. I feel like a lot of companies are just out to scam trainees, without realizing that launching any group requires significant amounts of money and resources.

    For every “””legit””” agency or even a bad agency like Pledis, there’s probably way more who are run by people with no business sense who just see big groups get popular and think it’s a way to print money
 And who suffers for their scumminess and bad business practices? Not the executives but ALWAYS the members, who usually join as minors

    there are probably dozens of groups like this where their stories won’t get told and they will never get justice which really upsets me :/

    You should cover Yellow Bee that had to disband early this yr due to their company making them have “relations” with investors just to have cbs. I was a fan of theirs so it was heartbreaking to see the barely 20 yr olds (I know they were pretty young) go thru that

    The big problem with South Korea is workers barely have rights in that country, is like Japan works ethic...work until you barely can stand in your feet. In those coutries workers donÂŽt have the same human rights as in other countries like USA, Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America, Europe that are seen as the minimal rights to avoid slavery. So kpop idols have even less rights due to this....the country needs a reformation about workers rights.

    Yikes, I feel really bad now! I'm the one that wrote the blurb about Aila's debut stage being "painful to watch" (4:51). At the time of the writing, we had no idea about the contract situation. While I still stand by the criticism about the debut stage, my feelings weren't toward Aila themselves but at whomever decided those outfits and performance were acceptable. I still feel really bad about the group, and I feel bad that it was like they were sent out there to be a laughing stock. No hate toward the girls AT ALL.

    A company talking about feminism and turns out to be the opposite. So Unsurprising!
