I see it like a golden goose type of thing. Bang p*do wanted them all to himself. If they had been on shows and given the normal idol opportunities their net would naturally grow bigger. They would get to make contacts and be offered projects outside of their company. This is one of the reasons why I think b*s are not allowed to go to after parties here in the U.S. No mingling for them, they remain isolated.
Isolated makes them easier to control and manipulate. Plus, tack on lack of sleep and food. They can be broken down and brainwashed to believe that their success is completely because and reliant on bh/bang. There is no self. This is where the 0t7 comes in. It's a double message that they are nothing without the company and nothing without the group. Alone they are zero, a nobody. A classic abusive relationship.

I believe everything was already in the works for b*s long before they were formed and their success was guaranteed. They would be the Kpop group that would break America and the rest of the world. Well bang couldn't very well have this group slip through his fingers or share in the profits. Everything b*s does is under bh/hype so all money goes back into the company. Their stage names and likeness are even property of bh. Imagine Beyonce starting her solo career after Destinys Child without her name. An artist's name is everything, it's how the public can identify him or her. B*s breaking away from bh is not that easy. And bang made sure of that. Aside from the dirt I know must have been collected over the yrs that could be used against them, the group would most likely have all doors closed to them in that industry. They would be left in the cold and most likely in serious debt. They would also probably be a shame to their families. So what I see is a few of the members scrambling behind the scenes. Jk's side company thing sounded like an act of desperation. And we know t*e and jn have been collecting contacts every which way they can even from guests on their run show. They barely ever get to leave the hype building so that makes sense. Anyway, that's my take and sorry for the long post.
