I'm not sure if the parents of 5050 realize this, but they might be just as horrible as other adults around their daughters.

I know that parents have to sign away some of their legal rights to the agencies when they allow their children to debut, so maybe that's why they are just now going through the legal process of trying to free the girls.

This is a cautionary tale for all parents. Don't just give your kids over to a corporation. Money and fame are not worth the trauma.

How could they withdraw their kids? Like what is the procedure?

50/50 are all adults

They were too busy trying to trademark their name.

Aran is technically still a minor I think based on Korean age.

Edit: Sio too. They are both 18, and I think the adult age in Korea is 19.

What op is referring to:

A revealing "What's in you bag?" segment:

which is always why I say READ the damn contracts and one should really really get legal advice

you are signing away potentially seven (plus trainee years) of your life during your adolescence.

and if you can't afford the legal advice don't bloody sign the contract...

you either have two options

sign the contract without understanding it in which case you bear all the risk and unknowns thereof

or get a lawyer to explain it to you so that at least you have informed consent

sure the other party (ie. the company kpop) might not change their contract even if you lawyer up but at least you are aware of the shittty contract should you choose to sign

They are lying pleaseeeeeeeeeeee, they disclosed nothing important with that episode they just released, 0 proof about anything and just playing the victims, they even said something along the lines of "we even prefer if they stop being singers instead of staying in that company" but they aren't even trying to retire they are doing the best to get the public on their side with pity stories with no proof of anything whatsoever and not only that but they are talking about it now why exactly? why not months ago before their reputation was trashed the way it did? they are greedy and they thought they could play this and get support from everyone since everyone tends to side with idols instead of companies but after they saw they fucked up and since they have 0 proof of mistreatment or any other issue they are trying to play the victim

I don't really wish them anything bad because at the end of the day they are pretty much kids, but i don't symphatize with them at all and i hope they learn from their dumb mistake and move on with their lives and just stay away from the industry because it's no one but their fault that no one wants them as a group anymore, all you can do is grow up and learn from it

There is always the chance that they are innocent since we never really know 100% what goes behind closed doors but if they can't prove it with actual proof then it's pretty hard to believe them when there is proof that they were treated insanely well by their company and there are texts about how pretty much Givers were the one managing them so every thing they complained about should be Givers fault not the Attrakt

Honestly this seems like the right answer. Once you're in court, you probably have to abide a NDA to some degree. If you had signed something, your lawyers probably won't let you say it until it is 'Ok' to do so. Unless you're Trump, in which- it's free for all.

We simply don't really know what's going on in the background. If you're 2B-3B WON in debt, once you pulled out, how will you pay it back? If you pull out, what of the group and the rest of its members? Was there a NDA where they aren't allow to do so? Is that why the girls filed for a termination of contract through court, to get out? Lots of questions.

4 sets of parents; 8 people, I don't think all parents are all greedy. Most idols suffer from anxiety, sickness, mistreatments and some things the girls are also going through. But this doesn't mean we should make and say it as a 'normal' thing. No idol should face this. But here we are, in favor of CEO and against the members.

18 international = 19 Korea.

So they are all adults.

BTW, Korea just changed their legal age, so now they are the same as international anyways.

No, that's the international equivalent.

Edited for clarification: At 20 years old Korean age, they can drink and smoke, but they are not fully considered an adult and the "age of majority" until they are 19 in international age, at which point they can vote.

"The civil law states that the legal age of adulthood begins from 19 years old by international standard. This means that even if a person is 20 years old in Korean age, they may not be able to vote. "

Law Change Makes Everyone a Year or Two Younger in South Korea

The move to use calendar age, from traditionally counting newborns as one year old, is intended to reduce confusion and comply with global norms.
