Netizens seek shelter from underage idols after seeing IVE’s Wonyoung’s old schedule
Kpop idols usually have very busy schedules between performing, training, recording and more.
Recently, netizens expressed their concerns about IVE’s Wonyoung after seeing her schedule when she was a minor.
On May 10, an online community post titled “The Schedule of an Underage Idol Working Continuously for 20 Days in Korea and Overseas” drew a lot of attention.
“(Underage Idols) release albums every 3-4 months, but in between albums they have singing and dancing practices, commercial filming, festivals and promotions abroad.
I’m an adult and this seems difficult. I believe that minors should be protected, so I’m posting this: ㅠㅠ. » – Internet users

In support of his remarks, the netizen recalled that the director of the 2020 film “Architecture 101” had described the then-underage Suzy as seriously insomniac and eventually reached out to his agency at the time, JYP Entertainment, to ask him to get more sleep.
After seeing this, netizens expressed concern about underage idols. Many netizens have asked for protection.
“I’m underage and I think it’s too much…”
“Sigh, they’re using the kid because they’re blinded by money. »
“At least the idols make money. The staff doesn’t even make that much so I bet there is a gap. Above all (the idols) must be able to sleep. Sleep is the most important. »
“Those who say it’s okay because (idols) make serious money give me goosebumps…”
“Do you think you could pull it off if you did the same?” Nobody asked LOL. They abuse children ㅠ. »
“It looks tough…”
“Wow, wasn’t your maknae born in 2007? Sigh, I wish they could nurture while getting enough sleep, eating well, and being mentally and physically healthy. »
“I heard they ate a lot, but with this schedule it’s impossible to gain weight. »
“At the time I thought it was a serious issue and looking back now his schedule is definitely insane. »
