Yiren talked about this today
I am surprised they didn't disband yet
same case as it was with fromis_9
it's tragic that Idols ain't receiving at least minimal wages
and before anyone blasts me with some shit
think of it this way, the manager, or someone working in company office is making money month by month, should it be that way? if regular worker even on lowest level is paid but the stars of company didn't get a dime then something is clearly wrong...
I wonder if the expensive MVs to start their careers added onto their debt. Sad situation all around because they deserve better and there's most likely many groups in a similar situation. It's important to clear debt early into career. Stayc was able to do that and they're most likely able to have a financially stable career
Omg that’s horrible 
Six years wtf 
Wow kinda crazy cuz i thought they made a lot of money with their tour and the success of songs like adios etc ....
You really can’t debut in just any company in Kpop ( or anywhere tbh) these companies are so sketchy
Under any circumstance should there be zero reason to not pay your idols in SIX years! They’re better off just working a 9-5
I think it's unfair to debut idols and not pay them at all, there should be a law tbh where even while in debt idols should receive a minimum wage.
I always find small companies shady, they make idols pay their debts and then first they'll take their money for others investiments to just later pay idols, but the reality is that 99% of these cases the idols are never paid.
She should stick to making a career in China. I'm sure that'll pay her quicker.
Merge?
Wow, and Korean laws allowed this. What a shitty country
Absolutely crazy I hate how they’ll get away with this too
This is so messed up. One more reason why NJZ are doing such a admirable and necessary job. The law used to not include idols in their labor law that protects workers by setting duties and rights for the working sphere of the society. Because of Hani the scenerio is changing!
Idols should be guarded by label laws. The payment system should be regulated by law for all idols and artists under entertainment labels so shit like this doesn't happens anymore. Generations starts and finishes and this is still a problem. Secret, B.A.P, Nine Muses, Everglow now and many more I don't remember anymore suffered from the unfairness set by their labels.
Every single korean entertainment should have better strategy when it comes to investing in groups. Every single business maps out its forward years to measure loss and income and creates strategies to achieve their goals. Anything less than this is pure amateurism.
This should be illegal
In my country it WOULD be illegal
It's wage theft, pure and simple
How do they survive? Does the company pay their rent and food and then add to their already existing debt?
Corrupt and exploitative, for sure.
Chances are, they live in a dorm. And if they live in a dorm, the company provides food and transportation through the manager. The money essentially never has to touch their hands since all expenses can be made through a company employee.
If they haven't paid back their debt yet, I can't see them being able to. Their peak in promotion and popularity was 4 years ago. Ever since Yiren had that hiatus in China, they haven't been able to rebuild their past momentum.
