“depending on the size of the agency, PDs treated artists differently. “

interesting read! reminds me of circa 2016 when tannies don't have waiting rooms...

I'm so happy BTS made it to the top because of them all the artist from Hybe and bighit will no longer suffer anymore.

Horrible. But I'm not surprised. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is still happening to idols today.

A wise reaction by J-Hope indeed.

All idols work equally hard for their performances and deserve the same amount of respect. It's sad to hear what BTS experienced . No wonder they don't go to music shows anymore!

Are we even surprised lol they were treated like shit right there in the open just like most small agency groups are

I am disappointed in bighit for allowing this PD to do this. Couldn't they atleast given them a new PD?

Yea and when ppl call them overrated and whatnot I know they don’t know half of the shit BTS had to endure to be where they are now

I really don't like the word overrated/overhyped. It is not "cool" or "trendy" to discredit other people's hard work to reach where they are now.

I really want a BTS documentary explaing their rise to fame and all the shit that they had to go through.

One thing for sure, yoongi isn't going to hold back

……music show PDs are not under bighit lol. How can they give them a new one?

Wait, there are music show PDs? So it wasn't like BTS's PD or anything? I am confused.

Quote from ohpuhlease

None of them will and tbh they shouldn’t.

why won't they? I think it would be a good way to show people their hardships.

The PD is related to the show, there's nothing small agencies can do because they need the groups to appear on the show, if they speak up chances are the PD will retaliate

it's still happening, maybe not in a way of toilet but... remember how Nancy's 'nude' was leaked? it was because girl needed to take of clothes in backstage and there were people running around and moving, and working as security or cameraman etc. that was messed up

also there are still situations when the bigger room is split using some fake walls like here, and multiple groups basically share one waiting room just separated by this kind of blue walls...

Quote from ohpuhlease

They don’t go to music shows bcos they can’t see armys and IMO they alr upload good quality performances of their songs in their channel.

the reason might be both. I feel like they're starting to open up their experiences lately. Music shows are tiring and now without an audience they don't need a reason to go there anymore. But I feel like this still might continue after the pandemic as well. It's not a coincidence that they're talking about music shows mistreatment until recently.

Quote from ohpuhlease

No not BTS’s PD. Music show producers from channels like KBS, MBC etc. Entertainment shows have their own producers

that makes sense

yeah remember Suga saying something about music shows.

wow and water is wet.. who knew.

A artist from a nugu company is not the same as someone from a big company and most likely paid more.. obviously they wouldnt be treated the same.

not surprised.

also, that mbc thing when tannies didn't attend gayo because they have a million talent fee for nye in the us. your loss mbc.

Quote from ohpuhlease

They talked about it cos they were interviewed about promotional methods artists use.

I doubt it. tbh, I had a feeling BTS were trying to avoid music shows since 2018 (when they started blowing up internationally). If they had another way to promote in Korea in front of k-army, they would definitely dump music shows forever.

That’s so true. When someone unknown performs they are literally rolling their eyes or not even meet their eyes when pointing to the exit. When someone popular performs, suddenly the staff or pds are smiling and bowing. I understand that some people do not want to enter the kpop industry ever again. People do not even hide that they dislike you due to you being unknown

At this point you must have the guiness world record for the biggest amount of sharing petty and unasked opinions in the world

This is honestly my biggest wish.

So many non stans have gotten a wrong idea of who these boys are and how their journey to fame went. I have seen many people/reactors admit that, even if they didn't like the music, they were wrong about their initial idea of bts & that they have a lot of respect for who and where they are. (and this is only based on fan made documentaries)

Don't really know what's holding hybe back from making one.

Quote from bartkun

it's not only for rookies I think because IZ*ONE was entering this is what Yoon was saying that they are sharing room with them and she then said that she loves Yena sunbaenim

in my personal opinion it would really be better if room would be smaller but not shared, because then they can comfy rest, as well as proper walls could be separating them which will make it all an quieter space

they don't have enough rooms to give everybody and the rooms are already build like that so they have to share, even bigger groups share sometimes, seniority and popularity plays a part too but is pretty much impossible for everybody to get their own waiting room unless they invite less artists on music shows

no, shit favoritism actually exist... noway... and people are treated by their class... oh no shit...
