This was fascinating to watch. And depressing at the same time. It's also why we need to stop getting mad at labels for "not promoting on music shows enough". Personally, every time i see an idol cutting their music show promotion short, i'm positive that this is the idol's own choice. This is why you see the bigger groups barely doing music shows like BTS and BP, and others cutting theirs short and/or only doing 3 shows a week instead of 6.
Nobody wants to be waking up at 1AM and then doing a 20 hour workday for weeks at a time.
Imagine working these ridiculous kinds of hours for weeks at a time.
Imagine having to do all this while living on coconut water and tomatoes.
Imagine having to do all this while being scrutinized for every microexpression on your face, every syllable you utter.
It's too much especially for younger kids who need even more sleep than their 20 something oppas and unnies. And it's hard enough on those poor old veteran ahjumma and ahjussi who are pushing 30 and have been doing this grind for many years.
Music show filming needs to be split up into two days so that they start at a freaking normal hour like 9am. Idols should be working at most 12 hour days, let them come home at 9pm and relax for a couple hours, go to bed and get at least 7 hours of sleep, and wake up fresh and rested for the next day.
