Following DBSK, Kara is now in danger of going their separate ways. DBSK was a group which pretty much started the Hallyu wave and Kara is a group which gained much popularity in Japan last year.
Both groups went through dispute between the members and the entertainment company. Are there no solution to this?
Right now in the Korean music entertainment, the companies are focussing on making the best idol group.
For the national market but also internationally as well. Because the companies know to succeed overseas, they just need one best group. HOT was like that, Shinhwa also succeeded and DBSK followed after. However the common thing between these groups were that eventually the members all parted their own ways.
For one idol group to be made, many years and many millions of dollars are needed. The entertainment companies dream of the future and sacrifice themselves for the selected trainees. Despite of these efforts, many groups are made per year, and to select groups which the fans have heard of, are not that many.
For lotto-Shinhwa, they were already unstable since their debut. It was as if when they were about to win the lotto, the lotto ticket was ripped up. It was hard enough trying to make the lotto numbers line up, the entertainment company realised it was too hard to get even their money back, let alone profit. On the other hand, top star idols are complaining about slave-contracts and blaming the companies. Which side is telling the truth?
The reason is money. Company's view is "We put so much effort creating your group" and the group's view is "We did everything we could as well so give us our reward for it". On top of this, it gets even more complicated when the group member's family gets inviolved.
While this happens and who's fault it is can't be decided, fans fall apart, overseas market shut down on them, group members who used to have meals together, turn into enemies.
Big Bang and 2NE1 is well-known for their popularity and big role in the current idol-market. The groups and the companies seems to be getting along well.
YG's CEO Yang Hyun Sup said "Whatever is theirs, give to them" and he doesn't hold back money in helping them develop their talents.
He added "I really hope Big bang goes for long, 2NE1 is the girl group which i care about the most". When YG family members are on tv, they talk about their CEO like they're actually a family.
If everyone is happy, there is no need to fight. They say even the black crow repays his debt. However it's not right to ditch someone who owe, just to save yourself. Thoughts such like this must disappear. If it doesn't, it is worrying that top star idols may not be able to meet international fans, let alone have concerts.
