    1. Seriously if you don't have the money, just don't make a group. It costs this much money, which makes me wonder what goes in the head of the producers sometimes ㅋㅋㅋ It it really costs that much, I would make sure that I make my girl group the right way or I wouldn't do it


    2. That's the reason why everyone picks the big agencies


    3. What the... That's why if you don't have the confidence that you'll have enough investment, don't start anything. Don't fool around with kids' dreams


    4. So if you don't have 3 billion won, just don't think about making any idol groups. Why would you make an idol group if you have no money?


    5. That's true, it costs around 3 billion won, so if you don't even have this, you shouldn't start, think about the kids


    6. This is why if you're not from a big agency and you're debuting, you need to reimburse all this money...

    7. But not all of this investment are from loans, so to make the kids reimburse everything is even funnier. If you don't have this money, just don't start a company.


    8. If you don't have the money and no confidence about them hitting big, don't start an idol company


    9. I'm seeing lots of posts like that nowadays, but I don't even know what you want us to do with this information


    10. If you don't have the money and you're starting a company, just close it down

  • seeing how the source of it apparently is Fantagio no wonder their groups are flopping

    2M for album production? for what?

    Weki Meki MV's look like they would be somewhere between 200-300k, so don't tell me they spent effin 1.7M for music producers and printing physical albums and CD's

    These comments highlight a reason why big company privilege exists (as far as debuting groups are concerned). Big companies would have a lot more money and resources than smaller companies generally have and thus their groups (and members of said group) will usually be in a better position upon debut.

  • I'd love to see a idol group that naturally got together and succeeded, too bad people have visuals and the whole promotion system too ingrained in kpop that they would probably be pity stanned and called poor
