The Most Dangerous Double Standard In K-POP

Yep, if you are against minors debuting then be against MINORS debuting, not just female minors.

I think most people do care about both, people just tend to focus the conversation on females. But I think there are fairly obvious reasons for that and I doubt it'll change.

I'm very iffy about Minors debuting. I think it takes an extremely good and ethical company for me to be okay with debuting minors. And a company that isn't money hungry.

But the conditions most minor idols are put under is horrendous. Male or female, it doesnt matter. SK needs to have additional laws to protect minors if they plan on letting minors debut

I have nothing against minors debuting boys or girls

minors have been performing and "debuting" in the western entertainment industries and in sports and other aspects of public life before and after kpop

if you want the kind of kpop life then learn about it before getting into it - read your bloody contracts and get a lawyer if you cannot afford one - you cannot afford to give up seven years of your life

I personally would never allow my own children to get into kpop but I also wouldn't prevent others from wanting to do the same if they so choose

I could never let my son or daughter debut so young. Just looking at what SM has been doing to Mark and Haechan since they were teens makes me so angry. They are so overworked to the point where they have no second to rest.

We've had threads here about male minors debuting but I think it's mostly because this forum skews much more heavily to GG fans and discussion that theres more discussion about it.
