TOP 1 The pressure of violence

An insider revealed that behind the infinite glory of Korean artists, there is desolation and misery that we cannot imagine, and violence is often encountered. In the eyes of some record company executives, these influential artists are just money-making machines. They don't even have the most basic human dignity and can be beaten with just a raise of their hands.

The youngest member of a famous group once wore a mask on stage during a performance. Later, an insider revealed that the day before the performance, he was severely beaten by the top management of the record company, and his face was no longer visible. But this still requires going on stage. Another member of the same group had to stay on stage at a very large concert because he had been beaten to a fracture by a record company executive the day before. But it is impossible to cancel the show, so they can only take a blockade shot. Their concerts are not one a day like other artists, but two concerts a day.

(I believe those who are familiar with Shinhwa know that this refers to Shinhwa’s DD and JIN!)

TOP 2 Economic Exploitation

The topic starts from some famous Korean artists When they came to the mainland, a famous Korean group could be described as popular all over Asia. Every time they came to the mainland, fans would give them gifts. There were many kinds of gifts at the beginning, but in the end, the fans basically gave them some Food, because these food are the most important to them.

Someone once saw the backstage where Korean artists rested. It was a mess. The ground was covered with packaging tapes of various foods they had eaten. It is said that these people often cannot eat anything good. At the same time, they have to face physically demanding performances. This is definitely not for weight loss. The living conditions of Korean artists are so difficult due to the irresponsibility of record companies. A member of a well-known group only got his own car a few years after debuting. This is almost impossible for Taiwanese and Hong Kong artists, but he bought this car himself through frugality.

South Korean brokerage companies basically charge very high commissions, and most of them appear in the form of combinations, so the money allocated to them is very small, and a lot of this money needs to be used for investment. When it comes to performances, there is very little left at their disposal. Japanese artists are not much better. There is a company in Japan that specializes in training male artists from around ten years old. They will select thousands of young boys. The training period varies for several years, and they are gradually eliminated in the process. It is said that the elimination rate is higher than that of Harvard. During the training period, you have to pay for all living expenses by yourself and you will not get a penny. When you grow up a little, you will be paid when you can dance with your brothers and sisters or do some specific performance work, but the salary is quite low, even after you become famous. , you still can’t get much money in the beginning, because only the album you release is considered your official debut and you can get royalties, but the time of your official debut is decided by the company’s senior management, which can take at least a few years. A certain artist who is famous for his handsomeness has been He became famous when he came out, but it was already after his official debut and he started to decline.

(This group is H.O.T, which is called the legend in the Korean music industry)

TOP3:

ANDY is a kind and dedicated artist, and there are not many rumors about him. But the scariest one... The first is the famous "mask incident". Andy was beaten by LSM until his face was injured, and he could only perform on stage with a mask. However, the company claimed that Andy fell in the bathroom and suffered stitches. Eight needles;

The second is the "exit incident". ANDY was once forced out of Shinhwa by a perverted uncle and returned to the United States. Fortunately, Shinhwa was very united and gathered thousands of people to bring ANDY back to the team.

The third is the "suicide attempt incident". Andy swallowed a large amount of headache medicine and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The incident occurred on the evening of March 22. Andy was banned from going abroad due to his disqualification from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies at the beginning of the year and due to military service. He felt depressed and swallowed more than 60 headache pills that night. Fortunately, Andy's family members heard him moaning in the room, rushed into the room to save him, and immediately sent him to the hospital for gastric lavage. But after arriving at the hospital, Andy resolutely refused the doctor to perform gastric lavage on him, even though his mother and grandmother were not willing to do it. In the end, the doctor had no choice but to forcefully perform gastric lavage on him. After that, Andy was sent home to rest until his mood stabilized. .

All of this is due to the fact that although Korean economic companies are successful, they have a very abnormal traditional operating model and harsh exploitation of artists!! There is not only one like ANDY, but also Brothers of HOT, because now there are rumors that Shinqi also suffered the same thing...

TOP 4 TVXQ:

(Letter written by senior HOT fans to Shinqi fans) )

By the way, do you know the mythical "Andy Incident"? There was a time when he was wearing a mask when he was on the court, wasn't he? SM's unbelievable prevarication was that he fell into something, or that Junjin fell in the shower.

Everyone continues to give us different explanations.

The most common thing I hear is that they fell or fell, but why was only his mouth injured? How come there are no signs of injury on other parts of the face, such as the forehead and around the nose?

A few days ago, Andy walked into the SM building, and when he came out, he was wearing a mask, which many fans noticed. In fact, I didn't believe it then.

After JTL left SM, and even after they released their album, they were unable to perform well in the past 2 years.

Their schedules continued to be canceled secretly, and, on TV, their music videos were not even aired once.

This is the famous SM company’s ban on JTL.

JTL’s affairs were clearly written in Woohyuk’s diary. I remember this sentence: “It should be a very busy promotion period, but we have nothing to do all day long.” (Now I finally understand. Why were they so excited and moved when they came to Qingdao 2 years ago?)

In fact, it is true that Changmin was beaten by the company. In order to make a female star famous, Lee Soo Man wanted Chang Min to have an affair with her. Chang Min was unwilling. So Lee Soo Man was very angry and asked someone to beat Chang Min. He also said that as long as he didn't beat Chang Min to death, it would be fine. . Changmin returned to the dormitory, and the other four members happened to be there too. Jaejoong almost cried when he saw poor Changmin being beaten like that. Another time, Li Xiuman asked Changmin to work for three days and three nights without letting him rest. On the second day, Changmin's fever reached over 38 degrees. The stubborn Changmin didn't say anything because he was afraid that others would worry. Even though Lee Soo Man was still asking Changmin to perform, Changmin passed out after work on the third day. How old is Changmin! ? The other four people all cried, saying that Changmin should not have entered the entertainment industry at such a young age. In fact, it was not Changmin who was beaten the most, but Yunho and Jaejoong, because once Lee Sooman beat them too hard, Changmin knelt down and cried and begged him not to beat his brothers---.

Another thing is that at a music award in 2004, Miqi cried on stage one day, and one can imagine his fate backstage. But when our Uncle Wan saw it, he immediately found a few other people from Shinqi and said that everyone must be by Yoochun's side. It seems that what happened with DD had a big impact on Wan Wan.

Changmin once said that the reason why he was beaten and often knelt down was to plead for mercy for his brothers. There was also an LSM member who wanted to kick out a member, Zhenqi (I forgot who it was), but he was firm and said, "You can't do this, or I'll leave too."

Others:

It is said that Shinhwa was able to escape with the name of the group because ERIC's family paid a large sum of money.

Shinhwa now uses the original group name and stage name, which requires payment to SM and is not free, including singing old songs

I asked my Korean friends , her answer made me shudder at the authenticity of these things:

Those things in Korean circles posted on the Internet are almost all true

As long as you hear it... In fact, it's all just superficial... In fact, those idol stars are more miserable than those written in the newspapers and broadcast on TV

BoA is a big star

He He has suffered a lot...

The former was only 13 years old when he posted his first photo

Now he is only 19 years old

Baoer is in The longest-serving artist in SM Company

It has been 7 years since she started training...She is definitely not lucky...or really outstanding

It's just that she is very obedient

Being sent to Japan to publish a film

Dear you can take a look at /u/4b47efff010009do It is a story about Shinqi. It probably happened during the time of the dispute over member replacements in China. It looks like the author is like I have personally experienced it, so I can’t guarantee that all the details are true, but generally they are true
