Saw this at my local Long John Silver's fast food chain the other day. They aren't even being subliminal anymore.....
"Join today and be rewarded" -same lie they tell to all the kpop stars and celebs
What a shame. I wonder if this guy is lying. It’s incredibly sad that a manager would be so desperate and sell out one of their artists out like this! That was just way, way too easy.
Agreed. Scary AFWhat a shame. I wonder if this guy is lying. It’s incredibly sad that a manager would be so desperate and sell out one of their artists out like this! That was just way, way too easy.
Well 2 million won is around $2500. Which would probably cover another appearance for the group. So you wonder how many C-D tier groups are scraping by like this. Where the girls "take one for the team"What a shame. I wonder if this guy is lying. It’s incredibly sad that a manager would be so desperate and sell out one of their artists out like this! That was just way, way too easy.
Also how many A-B tier groups might have started out like this? Or is this just the “open secret” of extra money brought in by these groups in general under the table, like a typical scenario? I’d imagine some really big name groups (male and female) would be able to make big tax-free bucks this way, which is horrible and disgusting…. I mean if a guy gave $2500 for an artist just starting out, do the math.Well 2 million won is around $2500. Which would probably cover another appearance for the group.

From the articles I've read, male/female idols from bigger companies have a more organized thing, there are VIP clubs in Korea packed with executives, millionaires etc.... The company ships the big company groups to these host/hostess bars, at this point it's not just about money, it's about stocks, investments, corporate connections.Also how many A-B tier groups might have started out like this?

You know what, this is awful, but it makes sense.From the articles I've read, male/female idols from bigger companies have a more organized thing, there are VIP clubs in Korea packed with executives, millionaires etc....

I suspect the Burning Sun Scandal was linked to this network.
Creepy indeed. You don’t have to look any further than the thumbnail to see that, sadly. The thumbnail at the top, for the TAEYEON “Heaven” Cooking Class, immediately caught my attention. That girl looks like she’s hypnotized, in a trance. She looks like she’s under mind control. Whatever slice of “heaven” she is cooking, I don’t want!looks creepy
