They all have slave contracts?

Let the accusations fly!

Ever since the Dong-Bang-Shin-Ki contract debacle, netizens have been ravenously working to discover if the circumstances were similar for other idol groups.

The talk of the world wide web is that other celebrity singers are also under “slave contracts.” Yoona of Girls Generation is speculated to have a contract similar to DBSK: 13 years. Both Shinee’s and Super Junior’s contracts, depending upon the member, range from 5-13 years. Yet, is SM Entertainment really the only culprit?

Reports state that the Wonder Girls‘ contracts with JYPE are seven years, while Big Bang’s contracts last for 5. SS501’s contracts with DSP Entertainment also reportedly last for 5 years.

The Fair Trade Committee has inspected 20 entertainment agencies (including YG and Star Empire) to find 19 of the 20 with harsh agreements in 230 celebrity contracts. Some conditions involve stating their specific locations at all times, refraining form retirement without consent, and even not being able to talk to other stars. Okay, the last one was a lie.

Remember, these are all rumors the netizens have supposedly “investigated.” Until official statements are made from either side, we’ll have to wait and see if the industry is really as greedy as the rumors accuse. What do you think? Is it all fluff or is there indeed truth to these netizens’ accusations?

Is K-Pop really CORPpop, or do these singers just need to understand that this is what they wanted?
