backup dancer is a perfectly normal and professional term. people take these jobs knowing that their role involves being in the background and supporting the idol. i don’t see a problem with that. i also don’t think we’ve ever seen bbt’s salaries to be making assumptions about how much money they earn. what i personally find disrespectful is the way they hide the members behind themselves in dance formations. if ateez are able to change all of that themselves, then why is yeosang invisible in the bad choreography? we still haven’t gotten an answer to that question.

btw, i don’t know if we’ve already discussed this, but i’ve definitely seen korean fans complaining that bbt have gotten a little too full of themselves lately, creating choreographies where they put themselves front and center instead of the members. there are simply too many of them on stage, which creates chaos and often blocks ateez. honestly, i agree with them. i want to watch the group i stan. backup dancers are called backup for a reason: they’re supposed to stay in the background. instead, we end up with backup dancers surrounding a member while he’s singing, while the other seven members are just standing around the sides of the stage waiting for their turn. and considering how bbt have been pushing yeosang to the back during recent comebacks while getting more stage time than he does, my frustration has only grown.
