[enter-talk] KANG DANIEL'S FANS, LOOK AT THIS. IT'S MY FIRST TIME WRITING

(Pic not included)

I was watching YouTube and found this video randomly.
It was about Kang Daniel's conflict with his company.
Since the key person mentioned in the video is the same as the person in Daniel's situation, I will share the information I found (T/N: OP is not a fan of Daniel but fangirled on someone from the same company as Daniel - OP is talking about B2M Ent. (the founder formerly worked for DSP) and the boy groups mentioned below are probably Sechs Kies and SS501, and the girl group is KARA. When OP talked about the "key person", she's referring to the guy running all the mess).

That key person's previous agency used to be the equivalent of today's Big 3. It was a company with incredible idols. All the male idols were the hot stuffs and they hit big right away.
They promoted for the same amount of time as their rival groups and also had the same amount of promotions but in comparison to their rivals, their earnings were 10 times less.
This isn't made up, they said it themselves during a variety show.
Even the members of the rival group said "you guys really earn so little".

They almost had no hiatus during their years of promoting.
Instead of going on broadcast, their schedule will be filled with local events performances.
They could've earned so much more but instead, they didn't even make 200 M won.
Meanwhile, their rivals were making billions of won...

Eventually, the agency tried selling their contracts' rights to a 3rd party
But the members went against the company and they suddenly were forced to disband.
At that time, the members who disbanded were unable to come back on broadcast for years.
That key person who made all of this happen is a person with great influence.

After that, the new boy group that the company made hit daebak again.
They went on broadcast, shot CFs, had individual promotions and were everywhere. They did well for a while.
Then, the company sold the members' contracts' rights to a 3rd party again.
After that, the members were not seen on broadcast ever again and were shoved into those local events.
When the season for contract renewal came around, the core member was cut off from the rest of the members and they made him attend weird events as well as political and family events.
Even though he was isolated from the industry, that member eventually escaped successfully.
Afterwards, the company released a bunch of articles about that member's attitude controversy.

Then, the company created a girl group who also hit daebak (this "key person" is very skillful so everything he makes became successful)
This girl group opened the doors to the Japanese market.
They earned a ton of money from their concerts overseas and digital and physical albums sales.
They were hitting daebak from the members having solo activities, to shooting CFs, to going on variety shows, to having strong results on the charts. But then, they suddenly disappeared.
Yes, the company sold their contracts' rights to a 3rd party again ^^
The members who went against the company got a ton of sponsored hate articles against them.
The company blocked all their chances to promote on broadcast.
They even involved the members' family members in the hate articles.
In the end, the company successfully transferred the members' contracts' rights to 3rd parties.

Eventually, they made a shopping mall with the group's name.
The members then suddenly became internet's shopping mall models.
The members did not promote on broadcast at all and were just forced to being models.
The contract's term stipulated that nothing from the shopping mall's revenue would go to the members, not even 1%.

This key person's character is to attract 3rd party investors and earn big bucks for himself like that.
It worked at first but not anymore.
After doing that back and forth, he ended up messing up a few companies.

I thought that this key person have forever disappeared from the Internet,
but he was in charge of Kang Daniel.

This key person cannot make a business with his own name unless he uses his partners' names or his family's name.

Kang Daniel and his fans are smart.
If they were scared and didn't do anything about it, Daniel could've ended up performing at local events or could've become a shopping mall model while not getting paid at all.

It might be hard for the moment, but it's better if he gets out now.
I'm supporting him.
I hope that there won't be a 3rd or 4th victim.

3 key takeaways:
1. The key person that is having a conflict with Kang Daniel is the same as the one from the previous generations' idols
2. He used the same tactics of selling his contract's rights to 3rd parties
3. Somewhere along the line, all the disadvantages were received by the singers.

Daniel is my first bias so this situation is seriously surprising to me but someone in my family is a lawyer so I asked him about this and he said that transferring someone's contract rights to a 3rd party is extremely dangerous. I'm also dumbfounded to see that Daniel never gave them his consent. I know this will take time but I will wait for him with tenacity. He gave up on the easy road and chose to walk on the difficult road instead. The fans will support him. Thank you.

If I can arrange the facts for you, it's not that Kang Daniel didn't give his consent. The company never even discussed about transferring his contract to 3rd parties and just did everything in his back (it wasn't even something that was divulged in his contract). The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has rules regarding unfair treatment against celebrities and Daniel's company did them all

I think that I can guess who you are talking about ㅠ it saddens me to think that Daniel was caught in all this mess and treated by people who are inhumane. Even so, I hope that he finds strength and thank you for writing this post. The time has changed and I hope that we won't see these trash companies anymore. I hope that all of this gets resolvedㅠ
