The Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism has passed the ‘Lee Seunggi Crisis Prevention Act’

doesnt mean anything if companies can pay these folks to shut up and look the other way

Would this also basically mean any groups with minors can't do world tours? Would being on tour mean working more than the legal hours a week?

Either way, a good step forward

kpop companies about to pretend like they do not see lol

BigHit only fired that manager when he got caught on camera and that's it...they downplayed the issue at first, calling it a misunderstanding

Quote from tetetete

which one? the taehyung incident one?

corporal punishment was pretty common even in my country in the early 2010s so i was not surprised by his behavior

Jungkook...both of them would get hit by the manager but it was that incident that caught the attention of fans since it was uploaded on social media...

Won't work. Have you not seen the witch hunts over idols? Especially people doing military dodges or stuff like taxes etc with agencies have you not seen the stuff with police raiding sm ent and Kakao over stuff? Or the whole fiasco over YG?🤡😂 Bruh the police and other government guys are gungho looking for someone to bust to get better pay and get a fat promotion and improve their careers. You ain't paying shit off lol they would arrest you faster than you could get your check book out. Hell gov is petty enough to take the bribe and still bust you for it😂🤡

Being on a Tour is no different than being on a Business Trip, Work Hours are counted at the point you are being paid or scheduled for an Appearance.

Travel is generally not considered as Working Hours, at least for Entertainers.

A 90 minute Concert would technically be 90 minutes of Work Hours. Practises and Rehearsals are not considered Working unless they are Sessions that people have Paid to watch (Typically Sound Checks), so in reality a 90 Minute Concert would be around 3 - 4 hours Work Time at the most.

Idol Groups rarely have Events on the day they have a Concert, even if they do, it can't be too long as they have the Concert.

Yea if I wqs Jungkook Dad my misunderstanding would have been my fist in that guys face. If my son dif something bad you tell me first and I'll let you know if he needs punishment that potentially warrant's a spanking or something.
