North Korean propaganda media pointed to South Korean idol groups such as BTS and Black Pink and made an absurd claim that "you are treated as a slave in Korea and live in a prison without iron bars."
On the 13th, the North Korean propaganda media, Arirang Meari, reported an article titled "Subordinate to South Korean youth singers and forced to live a miserable life".
In the report, certain idol groups and agencies such as BTS, Black Pink, and SM Entertainment were specified, and there was a claim that "Korean idols are being treated as slaves because their bodies, minds, and souls have been taken away by a vicious and corrupt art-related conglomerate." .
Arirang Meari said, "The majority of youth singers have signed exclusive contracts with large corporations at a young age and are receiving education as a popular song singer." It's the same as living in,” he criticized indiscriminately.
At the same time, "not only the South Korean media, but also the Western media accused South Korean youth singers of being bound by unfair contracts since childhood and being detained at training grounds." This article was reported the day before the performance of the'Grammy Awards' of'Grammy Awards.'
Domestic netizens are reacting with embarrassment, such as "Slave? It's a kind of slave...", "I'm living a life worse than my former slave?"
