BTS & BLACKPINK's life as a slave?... North Korean media absurd claim

North Korean propaganda media have claimed that BTS and BlackPink are being treated as slaves.

North Korean media Arirang echo said on the 13th that "South Korean youth singers subjugated to large companies and forced to live a miserable life," adding, "The South Korean declaration theory reported that famous youth singers have been subjugated by large companies."

"Most young singers have signed exclusive contracts with SM Entertainment and other art-related conglomerates at an early age in elementary and middle school, and have been training them thoroughly, putting them to sleep for two to three hours a day, and most of the profits are being not spent on BTS and BLACKPINK.

He also claimed, "Many young singers live in prison because they suffer from mental and physical pain, including severe human insults and suffering in the harsh training process and forced sexual entertainment by politicians and businessmen."

Arirang echo is not accessible in Korea, but as the news of the report is announced, there is a response that "it is ridiculous that the vain claims related to K-pop are also made in North Korea." "Do North Korea know BTS and BLACKPINK?" he said.

According to the North Korean media report, North Korean experts say that K-pop's global popularity is recognized in North Korea and that some problems are expanded to the whole.

In particular, given that the time of the report is the day before BTS's Grammy Awards performance, some say, "Isn't it the purpose of being wary of the spread of the popularity of Korean idols to North Korea?"
