Probably because some people have spent wayyy too much on that company for their favs or they have shares in them xD this would be at least somewhat logical reason.
But I have seen enough tesla fanboys and other corporate bootlickers to know, they don't need any valid reason to take sides. They just love rich companies to brag and shit on anyone who isn't maintaining the status quo.
Because currently you need a company backing to have a career? Or is independent artist a thing now.
I don't get it either. I even got downvoted on the homepage a bunch when I said Blockberry Creative sucked a few years ago.

The hell are you on about, I'm taking about siding with them OVER idols
These greedy slave driving companies who treat idols like animals. And I see users defending companies???
Do you even realise how tough it is to be an idol? The pay is so bad if you don't make it you get in huge debt... These idols aren't treated well.
Haven't you seen all the experience from former idols ?? And people actually side with them ? It is really freaking WEIRD.
I remember a thread, I think it was reddit, where someone pointed out that Nmixx, the individual members, hadn't been well served by the choices JYPE has made - they don't get a chance for individual promotions to grow their name, bad song choices have limited the public reach and therefore the extra opportunities the members get, and incidents like the fake music cut out hurts their brand name and could potentially limit the members professional opportunities both as a group and as individuals. Basically diminishing the chance the members could grown their own brand and earn more money and visibility.
All pretty reasonable points.
You know what the overarching response was? 'JYPE makes the most profit' or 'JYPE has the most revenue'. That's right - the number one defense of poor management of Nmixx was the CEO and shareholders are making money. Absolutely no concern for the members income or professional opportunities - the shareholders of JYPE are making money - so its all good.
Kpop stans, unwittingly, often side with management (the ceo and shareholders) over the labour (the idols), very very often, because they think money of the label is success and don't have the maturity and understanding of labour exploitation.
You'll see it so often with so call stans going 'oh I hate SM - just wait a minute whilst I purchase another 10 albums off them'. It's incredible how often they unknowingly support the very things they decry.

I read it as companies are evil and should be condem. I was just responding to that. So, I was just wondering why do we need companies in the first place. Can idols make it themselves in this industry. Nvm my silly comment.

Because it's normal fan behavior.
This isn't a Kpop thing though some ignorant Kpop fans think it is.
Whether it's Apple, Microsoft, McDonalds, Disney etc.... normal people support companies and normal people disagree with them
Because the world is not black or white sometimes
And behind this company there's human CEO who are greedy and hungry for money
The same way these idols that we often directly consider as the victim are also greedy behind the scene and we don't know their true personality
Ceos are notorious for this in the kpop industry.... It's just too many are scared to sue
If it's reached a point where an idol does if has to be that bad
collectivism mindset - the bigger the company, the bigger the fan ego
Market forces apply to working conditions. If one company offers much better conditions, either they’ll demand a lot more from their workers (harsher deadlines, longer hours), or they’ll get so many applicants that they’ll have crazy high standards to get in. Every coder wants to work for Google/Apple, but only the top 0.001% have a chance.

Yea it is weird but not much different from apple fanboys (the worst). I cant really believe anyone is actually a straight up company stan.

What i am saying is that behind every companies there's a human who's greedy
And behind every idols there's a human who's greedy
Human are naturally bad, greedy, jealous
I know it's a common thing in our century to vilainize everybody and everything who have a big power and make of the victim the weakest because it push this narrative of david vs goliath, with the big and rich companies and person vs the poor people
But poor people are as bad too, just take the example of hwayoung and t-ara
Everybody sided with hwayoung because she was the weak person in the story against the big company that mbk used to be
So automatically for people hwayoung was the good guy and mbk the bad guy without having half of the story
Turns out hwayoung was the bad guy and mbk the good guy in the story
I just find this stupid to side with a company as much than it is stupid to side with an idol
Unless there's enough element :
For example in the MHJ vs HYBE there was enough element coming by the two side to make your own opinion and side with one side
But for example in the SM vs CBX who feel kinda the same situation, we have 0 elements
So i find this stupid to side either with cbx or sm
Its not always the same for every case. Its always that some company are good and some are bad. The same applied to idols that not all of them innocent and good which also not all of them are bad.. People can know a lot of things about idols life during their career but a little we know about the owner or ceo that truly fight for their idols. Idols and top management can be greedy person and bad person if they want.. The case when you want sided with your idols commonly happen to top 10 company. Apart from criminal and abusive case, its hard to pick side with other companies..
If we talk the pay, then its a common sense that they company got more of it. Its not a charity to produce idols with the huge money needed and come from their owner pocket and investors with huge risk they took. Failed and disband idols mostly can still get through their life and no debt from company but the fail owner or ceo can be debt and file for bankruptcy after their company doom..
