K-ENTERTAINMENT
SLAVE CONTRACT...FORCEFUL WORK...SEXUAL HARRASSMENT...etc...etc...
These issues have been going around in Korean Entertainment Industry for years now...
I feel saddened by these news coming out tarnishing the image of Record & Publishing companies in South Korea....
while some others were indifferent by these issues...
I say, We...Hallyu Fans were worried about this phenomenon, cause this leave us a thought of impending doom
*knocked on wood* "The END of HALLYU WAVE"...
since 2008 kpop have boost in the radio airwaves of every Filipino and even Foreign (like Taiwan) nations...
all you can hear on your FM radios were Super Junior's "SORRY SORRY" playing over and over again...
here only on the Philippines, not only Super Junior songs got popular but also Wonder Girl's "NOBODY" song
you could almost hear every street and every corner of Manila playing these songs while the street kids dance to their tunes...
and that's the start of "korean wave" here in our country...
Although Korean Dramas and Movies were being shown here since 2003, it is only on 2008 Filipinos start to be concerned about Korean Celebrities and Singers...
but as for me of course I've been addicted since 2003 on kdramas/kmovies and liked Suju since 2005...
WELL...WHAT'S MY POINT ON SAYING ALL THESE THINGS??...
My point is...after all these success on making Hallyu Stars and bringing "korean wave" to the world...
I just found it TOTALLY NONSENSE for talking about a "10 year Slave Contract" or even "Sexual Harrassment" on their younger female talents...after 5 years...Why Now??...why they didn't burst the news about it way back then? since it's not still popular...
I mean...seriously??...isn't it their choice (celebrity) on choosing that career?...no one force them to do so...
plus, why would they sign on a 5-10 year contract if they knew they have to work for 5-10 years right?...If you think its unbearable for you to go on a long compromise why bother with it in the first place, "if you don't want what's stated on the contract then don't sign it!"
