@briza_278 60-70% of attendees have 4-day passes for the full event, not a single hour. That's how festivals work. If you want to measure real attendance, look at solo stadium shows. Your point makes no sense
@_DarkMomoSpeaks@lil__pocho@tokyoselca Nobody is denying their race, but it doesn't make them "Asian artists." They are American artists by industry classification and market
@lil__pocho@tokyoselca TIFF (Reuters): «I am an American artist. I grew up on hip-hop, soul, and California culture»
SXSW: «I was born in America, I'm a product of the American music school... When I'm on stage, I represent American music»🤡
@sh1tea_@Dijan189@PopBase Contracts terminate instantly if labels hide financial reports. Courts wipe out millions in predatory exit fees, and agencies legally absorb all trainee debt, not the artist. Minors have strict labor limits, and online haters get actual criminal sentences and massive fines
@sh1tea_@Dijan189@PopBase But you’re not even part of Korean culture, so how would you know anything about their laws? You’re stuck with a mindset from 10 years ago. Korean courts and labor laws have massively changed to strictly favor and protect the artists now
@sh1tea_@Dijan189@PopBase Oh, please. Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Disney, and Nickelodeon literal exist. Stop acting like the West didn't invent the blueprint for exploiting talented kids
@sh1tea_@Dijan189@PopBase Signing a contract means following it, whether in the US or Korea. Different cultures, different industries. No one forces you to be an idol you can do solo, hip-hop, R&B, or rock. The choice is yours
@sh1tea_@Dijan189@PopBase This applies to the entire music industry across the board, whether it's the US industry or the K-pop industry. They operate the exact same way—the only difference is that idols work 99% harder
@sh1tea_@Dijan189@PopBase K-pop is more than just sound—artists there write their own music, dance, produce, sing, and so much more, unlike spoiled Americans who just pay money for the "sound"
@SparSiteNomad The actual music industry acknowledges that BTS made the global breakthrough, but a dumbass in the comments thinks their internet opinion weighs more
@koovarbie Why do shippers have trash instead of brains? If nobody is feeding your delusions, that’s your own damn problem. These brain-dead freaks really think Tae and JK want to "be alone" while 50k people are literally staring right at them?
