Remember when HyunA exposed CCM on a TV show and said that they had to let Hyomin eat.
And then the members were all "omg no she's only joking!!1" trying to back-track on her comments because they were scared about how their managers might punish them for it
SM allegedly used to beat their trainees?
What the everloving ****?
Also let me cast off my veil of Swiss impartiality to say this just once: RGP, you literally put the Dead Sea to shame. Tone it down by like 500% and stop coming for Belle every two seconds. (Please. You look ridiculous.)
All of those times from like 2003-2006 when TVXQ members would mysteriously get injuries and all...coincidentally be really clumsy around bath tubs, stairs, etc., weren't actually coincidences.
I think H.O.T. members spilled on it once after the disbandment & then a bunch of mysterious "witnesses" or "contacts" stepped forward on this and that forum.
Then everyone was hunky-dory again by Mirotic, then...you know the rest.
I legitimately don't understand how the labels get away with mistreatment like that. Like not feeding people? There's a line.
They literally had TVXQ go on a water and vitamin only diet prior to the debut with BoA because they wanted them to have sharper cheek and collar bones.
Soyeon: I’ve thought of a lot of memories. If the fans see this, they will find us very pitiful. When it’s long gone you can think back of it. That time, we’re very hungry; it’s like during the Bo Peep Bo peep era. That time because we’re so hungry and there is no food to eat, that time we get hungry every now and then, beside the waiting room table there are food for the seniors, when the seniors have finished their meal and have leftover food, so we take the remaining food such as leftover food and biscuits, talking about this is so embarrassing, we quietly put the food into the pocket. That time is because we’re still rookies, and gets often gets scolding. That time when going to the washroom, is it Qri? And one more is it Jiyeon? Qri, Jiyeon and me, we put the leftover food in our pocket; we went to the washroom and eat it. Those days we always think, ah, why must we suffer like this? There are times we regretted it, but it’s also interesting that way. Because we have dreams, that’s why we persevere, and also often said “a za a za” (another way of saying fighting).
At least they seem to be eating well now, they've all gained a lot of weight over the years. It's crazy to watch them back in the day and see how thin they were compared to now

Dude, that's...let me just sincerely hope that all that was done away with after the JYJ/SuJu secession mess. It had to have been. Right? I can't imagine how they could possibly still get away with abusing their artists at this point, when media + GP are becoming more aware of the industry's evils.

Poor TVXQ. I understand how largely image based the industry is, but actually malnourishing acts for the sake of looks is just...

It's certainly over for TVXQ, otherwise there's literally no way they'd have decided not to leave with JYJ (which was their original plan). I also feel like some of the older and more successful idols like BoA, SNSD are probably free of it too by now but, to be honest, who could really say whether trainees or rookies still have to go through that kind of treatment
the lashings she probably got afterwards.
