How Knetz Reacted to VCHA KG’s statement?
- t’s great that foreign trainees are fighting against the problematic Korean trainee system! I hope they get hit hard with a lawsuit!
- This is so typical of Korea, the world’s #1 suicide republic. Things like this are only possible in a sick, materialistic, competitive society like Korea. Why did they try such gaslighting in a country that values individual human rights?
- The bizarre K-pop industry needs to be overhauled at this point.
- They need to go bankrupt through lawsuits to wake up.
- This is child abuse of idols…
- I hope this changes the entire trainee culture.
- They did exactly what they do in Korea. Get hit hard with a lawsuit!
- It’s idol child abuse, but don’t they know they can’t do that abroad? Did they train in our country..
- This is what happens when they don’t provide proper education and just use them like this – they become the company’s puppets.
- They couldn’t let go of America, so they did the same things they did in Korea in America and now they’re facing big financial consequences.
- This is child abuse. I’ve thought our country’s idol training industry was extremely bizarre since Seventeen’s pre-debut show.
- Only Koreans would put up with that (sigh).. Are they crazy to do this in America?
- The idol industry should just disappear.
- It’s been over half a year with their official accounts inactive, so I thought they were just being neglected due to lack of response, but it’s more serious than expected. The youngest here is born in 2008 and the rest are young too… I wish they’d stop praising Park Jin-young, he’s just trash anyway.
- The K-pop idol industry is all like that, but it’s a sensitive issue overseas and should be changed.
- Things like this were tolerated because the trainees were from Asian countries like Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, but they have no fear doing it in America? Abusing local kids in America will really damage K-pop..
- For doing what they did in Korea.. They need to face severe financial consequences.
- The bizarre trainee culture that was only possible in our country…
Korean netizens strongly criticized JYP Entertainment for allegedly continuing abusive practices in America, calling for legal consequences and industry-wide changes while expressing concern for the young trainees.
