[Source: David Volodzko, Global Post, April 25, 2016] S.M. Entertainment and other major K-pop agencies have been accused of imposing “slave contracts on their performers. In 2009, members of JYJ, who had been part of the five-man group TVXQ, one of its most successful K-Pop groups at that time, took S.M. to court on the grounds that their 13-year-contract was too long, too restrictive, and gave them almost none of the profits from their success. The group members said SM’s 13-year contracts were virtually life-long contracts and they were required to work long hours with only four hours of sleep per night. The court decided in their favor, and the ruling prompted the Fair Trade Commission to issue a "model contract" to to improve conditions for artists. [Source: Lucy Williamson, BBC News, June 14, 2011] Many K-Pop performers, even very successful ones, are poorly paid. John Seabrook wrote in The New Yorker: “In February, 2011, three members of KARA, a hugely popular girl group with D.S.P., one of the smaller agencies, filed a lawsuit claiming that, even though the group earned the agency hundreds of thousands of dollars, each member was paid only a hundred and forty dollars a month. The agency disputed that figure, and eventually the two sides settled.” [Source: John Seabrook, The New Yorker, October 8, 2012] Women in K-Pop are criticized and humiliated in a way that K-Pop men and women performers in other countries are not. David Volodzko wrote in Global Post: “When the hugely popular group Girls’ Generation batted their eyes at a boy band during a television variety show in 2008, this prompted fans to publicly humiliate them at that year’s annual Dream Concert, where audience members typically show performers their support by creating oceans of light with glow sticks. When Girls’ Generation took to the stage, the audience greeted them with dead silence and pitch darkness for the duration of their set. [Source: David Volodzko, Global Post, April 25, 2016] “Every action of an idol is monitored by their agency — even romance can be prohibited by a clause in their contract. Singer Choi Dong-wook, known by his stage name Se7en, told a Korean talk show he saw his fan club instantly drop by about 100,000 members when he announced he had a girlfriend. etc etc
