Enough with misusing the word mistreatment

Harambe got actual mistreatment

A group or a group member can be loved and supported but mistreated behind closed doors. We as fans cannot assume that an idol group isn't mistreated just because they're popular.. Popularity doesn't equal good in some cases and sometimes can become a group's own detriment.

This ^ ^ We've seen it in some SM groups. The more popular groups can be mistreated just as much as the nugus

Plus, mistreatment happens everywhere. A hashtag relating to the terrible abuse allegedly suffered by 1D and Little Mix trended recently. A couple of agents were in the crossfire. I saw a story about a BG member that was thrown against the wall and told to STFU and do what he was told because he was "making millions."

Nct dream and f(x) mistreatment

Yes, especially if you're Chinese... It wouldn't matter if you're popular in an SM group.

And F(x) too...

Quote from I-dont-cAre

are you guys with us in kpop? Groups are called mistreated bc they don’t have as much cbs as fans want. Solo stans call lack of lines and bad styling mistreatment. You said it behind closed doors so we won’t know unless something comes up to light but that’s not the case

I was just pointing out that the bigger artists face abuse too not that I think whatever nonsense solo stans come up with is. There's a difference between something like certain nct members not getting enough lines vs. something like Taeyong getting overworked to his breaking point with no time to heal or sm allowing sasaengs to run amok

Mistreatment =/= Mismanagement

Both can happen in kpop, but I agree they are NOT the same thing.

What's your point?

Getting less comebacks than normal isn't even mistreatment, it's mismangement. It would be easier for companies to earn more money if they give their group more comebacks. So from a business standpoint, you wouldn't be managing the group right if the whole goal in the first place is to earn money. This wouldn't necessarily be damaging to the idol's themselves unless the gap between comebacks was really that big. Idols value getting rest over getting overworked but that still doesn't mean they're lazy, they just want to take care of themselves.

Same thing with the other things... We should draw a line between mistreatment and mismanagement.

But I still stand by my eariler point. We are not in the place to assume what's been happening with our idols behind the scenes, because we don't know our idols personally or will we ever will. Popularity and success doesn't mean you're not mistreated and being popular can put a lot of pressure on someone.

Please read things thoroughly or I will type up another essay.
