He said, "I know not every agency is like this, but I think a lot of K-pop trainees and even current idols are being treated unfairly. In my previous agency, I practiced 15 to 17 hours a day without a single day off. They confiscated my phone and forced me to share my passwords."
She stated, "I was reading the comments in the article, and I'm at a loss for words. LOL. It is so mean. How is this noise marketing? And how is this justifiable because they aren't popular? I kept trying to ignore it, but it's making me so mad I couldn't hold it in anymore."
