“10 reasons to discover K-Pop”
It is time to seriously look into the musical phenomenon of the moment, I named : k-pop. You don’t know anything about it, you are intrigued, are you wondering what is happening in the world’s musical pop? Remedial class.
9/ Because, just like in all self-respecting show-business, there are juicy scandals
In a culture obsessed by appearance and the respect of hierarchy, the room for maneuver is narrow for the young adults.
Thus, carried by their desire to live from music, they endure all the humiliations from a business in the form of jungle. The idol contracts with the music companies often exceed the five years, and they only receive a negligible profit margin from the phenomenal incomes stored up. In 2009, three of the members of the group DBSK turn against SM and sue them denouncing their exclusivity contracts, as well as the unequal distribution of the incomes. The three leaving artists become JYJ, and the two surviving take the name of TVXQ. Since, this is war : SM drags the lawsuits against JYJ, and prevent them from promoting their music.
Next to the excess of the American stars, k-pop remains very “wise”, but the reactions of the conservative Korea stay fascinating to observe.
