the more minors i see debut, the more i wonder abt the child labor laws in south korea? what laws are in place to protect child celebrities? being an idol is a full time job, and in most developed countries, it is very much so illegal for children under a certain age (usually 16 in the us, idk abt other places) to work even a part time job. and in the us, there are specific laws to protect child stars to ensure that they get paid fairly, aren't exploited, etc etc. so...why are these children working high stress, v public full time jobs? like, i saw a grp the other day whose maknae just turned 10 literally yesterday and i'm p sure it wasn't a kid grp...Debuting minors...
no one should be 13 and debut in a competitive and really non friendly environment of kpop lol
companies debuting minorsI don't know who styles backup dancers for performances, but why are the backup dancers always given such plain outfits? I understand that the focus is on the idols, but at least make the backup dancers' clothes fit the concept of the song. Like it doesn't really make sense to have a bright cheery song and performance while the backup dancers are wearing dark costumes that don't match the color palette of the concept, you know?
