These girls stood up for the rights of ALL artists. They didn't fight for money, they didn't fight for power. They fought for artist rights, for better treatment, for freedom in a system that doesn't even grant them basic rights.
They had their producers chased away, their MV director sued, their entire team dismantled, their careers halted, their identity stripped away and stolen, their world tour scrapped, their full album abolished. They stood up for true artistry, for music, for creativity, for basic artist rights.
Vile company stans argue that they overreacted or are greedy or should just "suck it up". What disgusting lies. In my opinion, they didn't crash out hard enough. They had EVERY single right to complain.
The entire industry was watching, holding their breath, hoping the best for these girls because they knew this highly corrupt industry that treats rights as a hassle, not a given, would do anything to silence them. They would abuse every single loophole in an already awful judiciary system, they would control the media, they would hire reverse-marketing companies just to slander their name, spread lies and make them less believable. They would lie to the media, would threaten reporters, would sue creatives and anyone who spoke out for them. All of that happened.
So let's not let anyone silence these girls. Because EVERYONE who is a fan of ANY artist should see how them standing up for their careers, their music, their basic rights isn't being greedy, it's being human. In a system that treats them as something less, as products, as replaceable objects without basic rights or freedom.
But they can not be replaced. They can not be silenced. No $25 million smear campaign will change that truth. No amount of threatening and suing reporters, fans and creatives will silence that.
We stand with them. As should everyone who cares about artists, who cares about society, who cares about rights.

Bang using his entire right-wing propaganda apparatus to frame the NYT article as an "attack on Korea" and claim that labour protections for children shouldn't exist and child slavery should be legal 🤔🤔🤔

Was I wrong? Maybe it's time to investigate @KOREA and its K-Pop companies. @ILO_EndSlavery @ilo @UN @UNHumanRights @UN_HRC @ChildrensRights
I mentioned this before but hybecels who love seeing their “faves” abused so they can get a sense of “ownership” over them jumped me, so I’ll say it again:
K-Pop is modern slavery in EVERY sense of the word. Worse, it is CHILD SLAVERY.
KG’s case against JYP Entertainment exposed a plethora of human rights violations and slavery-conditions. Forced work, even through injuries, complete control over body, opinions and even personality, 24/7 surveillance even in their own quarters, forced diet leading to health issues, complete neglect of physical and mental health problems originating from these conditions and more. The contract in itself violates international child labour laws on an intangible scale.
“My body my choice” - not in K-Pop.
But the most striking part apart from the forced labour is the basis of this entire system: debt bondage.
In general: any “breach of contract” (in these cases even just dying your hair or not telling your agency when you visited the toilet), can result in astronomical and life-crushing financial fines, forcing the idols to “comply” with all the demands of the agency.
Debt bondage is illegal per international law, through the ILO Forced Labour Convention No. 29 (1930) and the UN Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery (1956). Technically, it is also illegal in South Korea, e.g. Labor Standards Act (Article 7) and Criminal Act (Article 273, on human trafficking and exploitation).
The Korean entertainment industry operates in a legal grey area, while debt bondage is outlawed as slavery, it argues that the K-Pop slave-contracts are “voluntary servitude”, which for some reason is legal in Korea - because idols are not considered workers.
Let’s be clear on that, “voluntary servitude” is not legal in any civilised country, neither in the U.S. nor in Europe, even if the victim initially “consented”, because freedom from such bondage is a fundamental right that cannot be contracted away. Just because a victim consented to slavery doesn’t make them any less of a slave. In South Korea, if they change their mind after 3 years and decide they don’t want to continue being slaves, there is no way out. They are slaves.
Keep in mind that we’re talking about 10-15 year olds “consenting” to being slaves. Even thinking about it makes me shudder. This is the reality in South Korea.
In KG’s case, and most likely most K-Pop cases, it goes even further because her details show that the signing of the contract wasn’t even consented, it was coerced through a strict time-limit, presented in a different language and the assigned ”lawyer” never communicated with her. Which doesn’t just make it modern slavery but actual human trafficking.
KG and JYPE settled, the main reason is most likely because the outcome of that case would have shown the massive human rights violations within the K-Pop industry. Keep in mind JYPE is considered the “most lenient” of the big 4 and this was in the U.S., with much stricter child labour laws. One can only imagine how awful and abhorrent the Korean contracts are.
“If it’s that bad, why don’t they just leave?”
That’s the thing about slavery and debt bondage - they can’t. Not even through legal means because South Korea’s system does not give them ANY worker rights. Meaning to find something that actually gives them the right to end their slave-contracts without massive penalties (again, debt-bondage), is basically impossible. Even in the handful of cases where idols actually managed to break free, it was technical issues that freed them, not human rights violations.
In Loona’s case, it wasn’t the fact that they were in slave-contracts that ensured them never getting paid and only collecting more debt over time, it was because of their contracts being transferred to another country. It’s ridiculous.
In the NewJeans case, not even CRIMES committed against them and human rights violations were enough for them to end their contracts. They weren’t even given the option of paying to get out, they were simply forced back against their will.
The judge even acknowledged that: A supreme court verdict stated that forcing an idol to work against their will violates their personality rights (duh, that’s… slavery) but at the same time, he mentioned that in this case, forcing them back to work against their will… didn’t. What?? The entire verdict is so incomprehensible it’s not even funny anymore.
After the verdict, HYBE/Ador showed just how deep this debt bondage is. After pledging in court to accept all five members back and supporting them to the fullest of their capabilities, they terminated Danielle’s contract and sued her in the single LARGEST civil lawsuit against an individual in South Korea’s history. Against a 20 year old, by the way. This sends a clear message: Debt bondage is not just legal, but also enforced in Korea.
Fact is: Agencies can end an idol’s contract for thousands of different reasons and then sue them, but not even crimes are enough for an idol to end theirs.
The outcome of this lawsuit will show if South Korea as a country is willing to adhere to international trafficking, anti-slavery and child labour laws, or if the country continues this abusive trend of letting companies operate above the law (even U.N. law).
I humbly ask @ilo @ILO_EndSlavery and @UN @UNHumanRights to pay attention to this and reconsider the categorisation of slave-contracts within K-Pop.
TL;DR: K-Pop contracts are modern slavery (and child slavery) due to universal debt bondage, industrial-scale human rights violations, forced labor and coercion through threats of astronomical debts and reputational ruin.
The excuse that these contracts are signed voluntarily does not prevent a definition as slavery considering the coercion (as seen in KC’s case), the fact that they are signed by literal children and because freedom from such bondage is a fundamental right that cannot be contracted away.

reading through the comments under the NYT article and this one from a former record producer/artist manager/music attorney is exactly right:
“without minimal government protections, they are tantamount to INDENTURED SERVITUDE.”
hybe is beyond evil. this is genuinely inhumane.
NmixxAndChill retweeted
"The contracts with the record label Ador (a subsidiary of Hybe, home to popular groups BTS and Katseye) also excluded parts of the Korean government's K-pop contract model that stipulated that the label 'shall not require an underage artist to engage in excessive physical exposure or sexually suggestive expressions.'"
This is an excerpt from the article published by The New York Times today, which points out how the contract drafted by Hybe, which could not be altered since no one at Ador had the power or authority to do so, does not adequately protect two girls, ages 14 and 15, from being sexualized or objectified.
This was the deal the members of NewJeans faced with Hybe if Min Hee-jin and the original Ador staff were removed, since it was they who prevented all these circumstances for MHDHH.
Now do you understand why it was important for them to keep their staff? Their work environment without them was dangerous anyway, and they only wanted to be protected. They did what any human being would do in their situation.
MHDHH were labeled capricious by countless people online, when all they wanted was to protect themselves from the abuse and exploitation that awaited them.
But this isn't the worst part. The worst part is that this doesn't just happen to NewJeans; it happens to countless idols in the industry. It could even happen to yours because the law doesn't protect them, doesn't see them as workers, or even as artists—it sees them as tools.
Is it worth ignoring the elephant in the room to preserve fleeting achievements?
Think about it for a few minutes, and if your answer is no, now you understand what MHDHH's struggle and our struggle were all about.
We must fight together, or they will destroy us separately!

As a ONCE, I want to express my sincerest sympathy and support to Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein, as well as Bunnies who have stood by them throughout everything.
Thank you, NYT for finally shining light on the slavery-like conditions of K-Pop.
It's not a secret, it's a well-established fact that K-Pop in itself is a system built entirely on child-slavery and exploitation, and I made many threads about it only to get laughed at.
For those who think "it's not my group", or for those who want to believe the propaganda bots and think "it's not Katseye, those wouldn't be allowed in the US", just read the thread below. It's based on an American contract of an American K-pop idol who fought her company in court, and it's just as bad.
It's not a singular case, EVERY SINGLE K-Pop contract violates almost every single Basic Human Right on a daily basis. It's not just exploitation, it's incredibly close to slavery.

Nevermind the very obvious bots in the quoted tweet, just look at this tweet calling them out. All the comments and quotes say the EXACT same thing, just paraphrased. To protect a company.
It's either a cult with one single shared brain cell or all bots... Or both.

If there was a company that
1. beats trainees
2. is openly racist
3. hires PR that worked with Epstein and the Trump family, that frequently defames female victims and works for the worst criminals
4. has a young woman suspiciously die in the hotel room of one of their executives
5. covers up said death of a young artist
6. causes neck injuries through gruesome choreographies
7. leaks underage pictures and videos of trainees without consent
8. badmouths their own idols towards the press
9. Wrote 18,000 pages of derogatory comments about the entire industry, including their own idols
10. uses their artists as collateral in a loan contract where only “death” would be excused for leaving the company
11. Steals over one trillion Won, not just from investors, but also Korean pensioners
12. and lies about/denies most of that, even in front of the national asembly
13. Uses their artists‘ money to pay the debts of Zionists
14. Uses their artists’ money to make said Zionist richer than those idols themselves
15. uses their PR to not protect their artists, but to manipulate media and protect their criminal and prison-sentenced (ex)employees instead
Would you support said company? Would you still feel “human”? Would you still feel morally superior? Because you aren’t.
There’s no excuse for that. For none of it. Wake up.
New unsealed court documents dropped today with 🛴 B's and the company name all over them. All long before Hybe "acquired" TAG. But we knew they were the ones to create it.
Unfortunately most of the conversations are still censored. And they called @Apple derogatory slurs 😅

The @nytimes has a massive new story, exposing that Justin Baldoni's PR firm and lawyer, Bryan Freedman, are allegedly involved in campaigns to destroy the reputations of at least 6 other women, not including Tamara Rubin and Min Hee-jin.

Alexa Nikolas, one of the victims of TAG PR, made a livestream about the situation 9 months ago.
Look at the comments. Every single one is saying the same thing in different words. It's so similar to campaigns we saw ourselves.
