what they’re worth

Hyunwoo is totally right. The agency doesn’t care about their talent’s safety? They value their PR over actual privacy? Okay then! Your talent isn’t going to prioritize your money over their physical and mental health!

Yes an idol should have a bond with their agency, but fundamentally it’s an employment relationship. It’s an employee’s right to go on strike and protest if their needs are not being addressed. I’m glad this series is covering the topic, so hopefully more fans will understand why kpop idols take such drastic actions and not blame them.

    The second part is funny because just recently an idol getting bullied by her agency was dismissed and was told she’s not considered an employee under the Korean law so even tho there was proof of bullying they can’t do anything to help her. Korea’s law is trash lol. Idols aren’t seeing as human beings even within law
