    I still have a heavy heart when it comes to Momoland (knowing how they ended up and feeling glad that they disbanded). I just feel bad for Daisy: Imagine being eliminated, being brought into a group after their debut, cast aside after hitting a career high and being kept in a contract but unable to leave. Also, it's a weird blessing/curse that Huh Chanmi was in Duble Kick at the time and wasn't in this survival show even though she was the most known/popular trainee in that company.

    There is so much wrong being done by entertainment companies that is continually being exposed yet next to nothing is done about it to protect the trainees and idols. Until there are strict regulations/guidelines and they are strictly enforced upon the companies, including large fines, taking away their licenses and even jail time for the guilty persons we are going to continue to see more of these stories about trainees and idols enduring mental, physical and financial abuse. And in the worst case scenario, news of trainees and idols taking their own lives.

    i’m a huge fan of momoland, i find it sad that daisy’s mom attacked the rest of the girls, especially knowing how screwed up the company was. to my fellow merries, please support each of them on their solo endeavours. all of them have social media now, daisy has instagram and tik tok; i love seeing her doing dance covers and getting snippets of her life now. she seems like she is done with the industry, which is fair, but there is more to see from all of them. thank you for making this video, momoland had such potential but between their toxic company and false rumors; they weren’t able to thrive. i know it is unlikely but hopefully, now or in the future, we will see them together again. it doesn‘t even have to be on a stage... i just want to see my girls together again. 😓

    Another excellent job and I look forward to your follow up on Momoland. I really liked the members and how they interacted with each other. Daisy was particularly good when making content with Ahin and Nancy for English speaking fans. I've always felt she got a raw deal, but the reality it a bit muddy. Double Kick produced some of my all time favorite songs, but when they became managers of their own group it was a disaster. I wish they would just go back to producing bops and I wish Momoland could live on under a better company, but we know that will never happen. They all ended up with the "death card".

  • @CalvinistEeyore
    @CalvinistEeyore Před rokem +14

    There is a reason if you look up lists of worst companies in Kpop MLD is almost always listed on lists or in videos. Finding Momoland is the least of the sins MLD has committed against Momoland in particular yet I think the history of Momoland video will cover the other offenses. In short, Momoland was a group that captured lighting in a bottle once and the group's label kept trying to recapture that fluke hit or capitalize on overseas popularity.
    With Daisy, her tenure in the group was before my time as a Merrie but I always felt like she got a raw deal and handled post-fame really well. Although when Momoland disbanded I know certain people didn't take too kindly to Daisy's attitude being "I don't care." Yet I think people sometimes have this overly romanticised view of the relationships members of K-pop groups have with each other and for every group like Rainbow or BTS there are groups or members of groups that are merely co-workers and that's fine. Momoland is a group I had a lot of firsts with as a K-pop group and for a while Oh My Girl was the only other group I actively supported.

    Paying for the show seems weird but, tbh, in the end all idols (and recording artists in general) pay for the expenses of the preparation and creating of the music. I am not saying MLD are a good company, they are not, I am just saying that in the end all artists pay to be produced and promoted. In the end, read your contract because you are an adult and are responsible for signing it if you choose to.
    JYP also rigged Sixteen in a very similar way but because they are a big 3 company and it was Twice people got over it very quickly. You don't think Twice had to (and still do) pay off all their promotion costs? The double standards are notable.
    I also actually strongly disliked Daisy for the way that she handled this all.. undermining the group mid comeback like she did was a direct attack on the remaining girls themselves and was mean and spiteful. She didn't need to do it in order to win her case so it is clear that it was malice born out of jealousy. It was disgusting.
