I hate Girls Generation, so i'm all for any lampooning. Unfortunately they used their real names, which is grounds for slander.

*Gasp!* ... Just kidding. Not really a shocker--it's a pretty open dirty secret. Idols in Asia get pimped out -even underage girls- to the wealthy, powerful and influential by their agencies, handlers and managers.
It's outrageous and disgusting, but what sickens me more is the outrage expressed by the "Koreans" stems from their dirty laundry being aired to the world in manga, NOT that these girls are being whored out. |

Waitaminute! That's exactly what's been said about the Japanese idol business in general. This is merely another of Japan's efforts to crap all over those who aren't Japanese; mainly, the Koreans.
I think it's STUPID, overall. What happened in Arizona; a psychopath shooting up a Democratic politician's "meet-&-greet," killing six and mortally wounding others... And that inadvertant message from him, "They're not who I am / want them to be!" That's STUPID. This is also STUPID. And I'd wish for these circus clowns to grow up. But I guess that's too much to ask of Japan's darkening hearts. Oh well.

I read about this last night at AllKPop and though I don't like how this manga degrades some of these groups I was even more upset on how some of those fans on AllKPop just went on to bash ALL of Japan.
Most of the Japanese (at least the younger generation) LOVE most of the Korean groups who debute there! Korean groups are greatly supported over in Japan so people shouldn't judge the whole of Japan, but the creators of the manga and so on. Have better sense than that people

Any members of KARA in need of rescue from your sleazy pimp-handlers please post here. I will be organizing a rescue party made up entirely of pervy K-pop fanboys.

From what I gather from reading the article itself and from the comments thereafter on this forum, I have to say it sounds like a touchy, grayed out issue that's now gotten worse.
 Yeesh.
No thanks. Not touchin' this one. |

Counterpoint, from a human's right's view. KPop is exploiting women in such a manner that it is having an adverse affect as a foreign influence of native Japanese citizens. Granted JPop does the same thing, but the Japanese have the power or ability if not directly through their own government to control such affects whereas they can not control or affect a foreign influence. If anything maybe this should be a wake up call to the Korean government to investigate such abuses in the industry. And granted the Jpop industry should be looked into as well by the government, Or if that isn't going to float the boat, then look at it this way Kpop steals money from the Jpop industry who is exploiting women there. What boggles my mind is how the demographics that buys in to JPop/KPop claim to be so opened minded (not directed to the OP) and yet closes a blind eye to this exploitation. |

Meanwhile, fans pretend to give a damn while ogling AKB48, a Japanese all-
It could be worse. Squid could have been served at dinner (because tentacles are dangerous things to leave lying about). This was fun, though not sure if it was of interest. Stereotypes for the win. |

Many J-youths admit liking K-pop because they can't understand the lyrics. Why does that sound familiar? Ironic, ain't it?
People gotta understand: the talent agency employs and controls these groups, not the other way around. Like Morning Musume, god bless they're passe now, they just got fresh 12-14 yr olds virgins as new members, probably after auditioning since they're age 8, to prance their boot-ay on stage:

wow this is all news to me. I know that i have heard story's of American pop stats and actors sleeping with people to get a leg up in the industry but never before heard of them being sold as prostitutes.
I know the American music industry might do some f-up stuff but I don't think they go to this level. I feel sorry for these girls. All they want is to sing and dance and be a star...not a call girl.

This kind of things happened in most of the country in the world. So no surprise here. But to be honest, I feel kinda sorry for these girls (or ladies ^^). They're just being exploit.

This is an interesting article. Though, I can't help but laugh from that shot despite the seriousness.
