a lot of yall hate newjeans more than yall want idols to be treated like they live and breathe. how did this go from exposing exploitative kpop contracts to “they did this to themselves”. if kpop wants change, it’ll have to start with the fans.

but when we say that hybe utilizes a veneer of authenticity to market themselves as providing freedom for music that covers up the same exploitative reality that exists in the entire industry there is an army of parasocial stans who carry out the work of defending their sins

this nyt article about newjeans’ contract is genuinely insane but the craziest truly is kpop stans still finding ways to stand behind these companies like i’m seriously baffled at how little empathy one can have.. can’t even put your one sided beef aside over basic human rights

The record contract for embattled K-pop girl group NewJeans, shared today by the NYT, reveals their record label has the rights to their AI-generated voices indefinitely. Worse yet, if members exit the deal, the label can reduce their royalty payments. This is exploitation.
