Ive known for a long time that KQ doesnt value its idols or their fans as much as it values the money it can make off of them, which is pretty typical of a Kpop company, but seeing people praise KQ for allowing Mingi time to recover really makes my blood boil tbh lmao.theyre the ones who put him in that position in the first place They also severely limit ATEEZs social media usage.

As of now, Bts are satisfied, never complained abouttheir company (jokes don't count),treated like gods, making cash and enjoy beingthe biggest group inthe world under Bighit's guidance. So Block b are KQs first group. They are eating well and have professionals by their side to maintain their health, To be honest I'd be happily overworked if I was doing the thing I love with all my heart. Their biggest group at the moment is the Kpop girl group (G)I-dle which has done better than 4Minute and CLC. It was South Koreas largest IPO in 3 years. Funny how people who don't stan Bts have a lotto say aboutthis and are projectingtheir own negative Kpop company's prejudice on Bighit.I,too, usedtothinkthat all Kpop companies are likethat until I knew about Bighit. The average annual salary at Fantagio is 24.2 million KRW (about $21,400 USD). Have any Chinese K-pop idols ever re-signed with their Korean label?

A trainees daily schedule can start as early as 4 am and end at midnight. Maybe they treat DC right but not Dal Shabet. I'm not here to be all defensive of my "precious company" or some shit, but if you take a look at these things, it's obvious that bighit didn't made all the decisions regarding Glam, they couldn't make a decision without the other part agreeing and viceversa. Bringing you a complete overall view of the Korean Wave. I don't really have any complaints for Ateez's KQ either. Funny when I startedto get into Bts,the firstthing I neededto reaffirm before getting myself in this rapid hole was a full research about Bighit and howtheytreat Bts.

Its not totally unheard of for a Kpop company to curate its groups tweets, but it does suck to think that we fans might not be getting as authentic an experience with the group as we think we are. Loona also has its own unique concept, a universe called the Loonaverse. Edit: KQ is not the worst company by any means, they just suck at treating literally all of their artists except ateez well. Other controversial Kpop companiesinclude Cube Entertainment (firing Hyuna and E'Dawn after discoveringtheir relationship), Pledis Entertainment (disbanding Pristin despite their early success), and SM Entertainment (forcing Jessica Jung out of Girl's Generation). BTS is really in good hands with them. Fantagio never had a group called Diamond, but they had 5URPRISE . But i wonder if there will be any kpop group debuted from daniel company ?? Moreover, their parent company is JC Group which also owns Fantagio Pictures, Madin Entertainment, and Solid C&M. RBW. Ive noticed in most cases smaller companies treat their idols better. They, like all companies have had their ups and downs but they have lea Staff is also very supportive.

They have be Of all the companys facets, promotion opportunities were rated the best part of working at Yuehua Entertainment, while management is considered the worst part of the job. Groups 2PM EXO and BIGBANG are the main assets for their agency. Looking at how other companies treat their idols, I came to conclusion that despite some mistakes (cause no one is perfect) Bighit is really the best company. And about Block B, well, the company will treat their artists different to each other, because they have different staff and managers. Konnect Entertainment CEO Kang Daniel really treat well his artist Kang Daniel. They produced dramas and distributed them globally through various OTT platforms. BTS was not an overnight sensation. Your email address will not be published. In addition, 13% of staff approve of CEO Kim Jin Woo, and just 3% see growth potential in the company. Funny how non-fans who don't keep up with BTS and literally know shit about their relationship with agency and staffs are the first ones commenting and arguing over this, lmao. Park. Nowadays the boys pay their own cbs out of pocket, all solo work out of pocket (yes theyre currently enlisted, but prior to enlistment each member tried giving us a solo song/mini album), the last bastarz albums cover art was literally a cheap card stock photo you can Google and use, kyungs album is made out of cheap cardboard, he had to use his profits from game shows he won to pay for his music video which he used to advertise random products in in order to cover the cost, never stepped up to help block b against malicious commenters.

They are not just a record label but also a talent agency and music production company. So I was morethan surprised with what I found about Bighit. Here is why you should still give people cards! I know that company wasn't the best towards Block B ,but they also had quite a lot of controversies that didn't help either. The Orchard is a part of Sony Music Entertainment. Bighit is not perfect but I would take them seeing how other companies mistreat their idols. The idols of Blackpink pose during one of their concerts. Mamamoo is by far one of the hottest Kpop female groups out there. I dont think many people know a lot about how KQ works simply because Ateez are their only group and so any info about how the company treats them in regard to dating bans etc would have to come from Ateez themselves (as with other companies and their artists). So,in this regard I can understand them if they want to capitalise every opportunity they encounter now ,because the momentum is very important when it comes to a group coming from a small company. FAVE Entertainment was formerly known as LOEN Entertainment, and their subsidiary Starship Entertainment has had much success with their 12-member girl group Cosmic Girls.
