The way that JYP threw Hyunjun under the bus is so crazy.

Yeah they should do better since they always brag about this clean image shit

korean celebrity business is basically about having a pristine image so I'm not even surprised.

So, what are companies to do? Go find old classmates from primary, middle and high school of all trainees and chat with them?

Sounds ridiculous to me.

Also, anyone with a grudge can cast shade on people then.

dude kpop as a whole is built on images

of course a company would priorities their image over an idol, it's not like they actually treat their employees like family members as they like to tell the fans, also all companies are ready to throw some idols under the bus if that will satisfy the public and fans

I didn't find anything wrong with what they said. They are going through this problem because of him. Jyp always talks about personality so they should try and find idols with less problematic past.

So it's JYP fault for advertising something they don't really offer

They should stop pretend their idols are perfect angels

They don't even need this anymore. Kpop is past the point it will rely only on Koreans and Koreans dislike on idols is too evident at this point thet is better to focus on another asian audiences that are less judgmental over kpop behaviors

So he won’t get kicked like the former member?

For Korea's recognition of kpop it is not so important, the problem is that there is always talk about being the best in the Korean charts to be the popular group, that is why the Kingdom is born. You can only find loyal fans in Asia, internationally there are many fans who like many groups.

JP and Chinese fans buying power is already higher than Korean's
