I mean if I was oversexualized while still a minor and then expected to act like an overly cute child once I was in my mid 20s I would be hella annoyed and over it too. To be completely honest. 
Could you help convince my employer that they should stop forcing me to do things I don't like? I'm just in it for the money, I don't need any of that other nonsense.
Their first job is to sing and perform. I have nothing against fanservice as long as the idol in question is ok with it, fanservice that is suffered by the idol is not defensible. I don't think your boss asks you to do Aegyo every time you meet him/her or wearing provocative outfits that you don't want to wear.

Maybe my boss asks me to dance to Baby Shark every time I go to his office. You don't know.
Idols aren't the same as regular singers. Their job description involves much more than simply performing, and unless their company asks them to do something unsavory or illegal, they're not really at liberty to just go, "Nah, I'm good, fam'." They have to earn their paycheck the same as everyone else.
You have to remember that idols are assigned personas before debut, they can't just act however they want when the cameras are on, and if the company wants them to be cute and do aegyo, they're going to be cute and do aegyo. Otherwise they risk punishment.
Something like being forced to wear provocative outfits, which are commonplace in Kpop, is a bit of a gray area. It really depends on how much leeway the company is willing to give an idol in their wardrobe choices. If they absolutely insist that an idol wear something in particular, they don't really have much of a choice if they want to keep their job, unless they're already a big star with seniority, in which case they're going to be given more say in the matter. But whether we like it or not, idols are essentially at the mercy of their company early on (or even longer, if they fail to make it big.)
She just looked tired cause fancalls are pretty draining
If you don't want to do things that are the common trappings of being an idol... don't become an idol?

I know this very well, I did not go into details in my previous post because there is no point in specifying something that we both know.
Where our opinions differ is that you take this situation for granted and normal. What I'm saying is that all this shit has to change, it's not normal that we continue to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. There are more and more voices among female idols in particular who are speaking out against this and there are more and more testimonies that fans must not ignore this and continue to put pressure on agencies to help change things.
if that's really the case punch him in the mouth 
such is the life of an idol and if some cringey aeygo is all that is required that's probably the least of an idol's problems
