Jang Hyogyeong (also know as ARIAZ's Hyogyeong & soloist HEYA) has gone viral for sharing her experience as an idol.
She states that after 2 years, she received her first settlement, upon opening she realized it was just debt. In the end, Star Empire cleared the groups debt.
Former member of ARIAZ, Hyogyeong, talks about being being a kpop idol:
"When you debut as a kpop idol, you kinda think you're going to become BLACKPINK. But instead of BLACKPINK, I almost ended up on a blacklist. The money left in my bank account wasn't zero, it was negetive.
After 2.5 years of promoting, I finally got my first earning statement. I was excited, maybe I could finally give my parents some allowance. But it was just debt.
I heard that even BTS didn't recieve their first settlement until about 3 years after debut. So I told myself, let's just survive 3 years. So when our third year came, instead of a settlement, we got a disbandment notice. BTS became legends, and we became a trivia question."
@moldysativas Hyoyeong who sits next to hyunjin in this video is an ex member of Ariaz and now soloist, please check out her music if you have a chance!
