a thread of wayv's mistreatment
Starting off in 2016, Kun was a "floating member" of nct u with only appearing in the chinese version of the song 'without you'
He then disappeared, and when nct 2018 occurred, him, along with other members, was basically a backup dancer, with that being said, Kun only got to properly debut in January 2019 with Wayv
Kun spends a lot of his time producing beautiful high quality music for FREE, he only gets to upload his songs on soundcl0ud instead of sm officially releasing his work and giving him a check
Continuing with Ten, being reduced to a multilingual gay dancer by his own fans since his debut in 2016, made little to no appearances until nct 2018 besides his two solo stations.
He brought a lot of fans to NCT ever since his smrookies era and sm rewarded him by wasting his incredible talent and potential. Even though him getting more opportunities with joining SuperM in 2019, his mistreatment didn't stop
His name that consists of 3 letters was mispelled on merch, he was cut out of group pictures on official sites, and not a shocker, he got a total of 43 seconds worth of lines on the whole EP.
Winwin, where do i even start. SM chased and begged this boy for 2 years to join their company, giving him false hope and promises. His education, which was very important for both him and his parents, had to be discontinued because of his activities.
He flew from Seoul to Beijing overnight (completely alone) to attend school and then flew back the next night to training. While he was in 127, the company denied acting roles and solo activities for him solely because the offers only wanted him and not 127 as a whole.
Then he was completely erased from the group and pulled out from their first world tour even though he was advertised to attend it, they even left him out from anniversary merch AND SO MUCH MORE. on top of that we never really got an official statement on his departure.
recently, sm cut off winwin in the album photobook when he was literally the center. how careless and cheap do you have to be. seriously. as if they're not a multimillionare company
Lucas is seen as a money maker and a source of revenue by sm. As soon as they saw the great success of his debut and people being blown away by him, they milked the f outta him
Lucas drew thousands and thousands of fans to nct, and participated a great part in their success in 2018, yet his company can't even respect him enough and waited more than two years to take legal action against the unbearable racist and colorist comments he has received
i don't think i even have to mention that in superm he has zero lines and is pushed in the back per usual. disgusting
for the newer members, they get the lowest exposure, when they were walking the MAMA red carpet, their names weren't even announced, only the 'former members.' Only good thing is that they decided to give them a little creative freedom eg. Yangyang and Hendery writing lyrics
And for the group as a whole, yes, it doesn't stop here, SM launched a whole Chinese label for them, yet they debuted with a recycled song, it is still an ongoing debate whether they're under the nct label or not because the company refuses to give a statement,
they're supposed to be a cpop group yet they live and promote in korea, they were excluded from smtown in tokyo 2019 even though they had ZERO schedules and were probably just sitting in their dorms wondering why they're not there. They have STAFF that sell their info to sasaengs
Their phones are either being hacked or their pictures are being sold by staff too because winterwhite (a winwin sasaeng) has had a hold of this picture DAYS before it was put out to the public
so i am again asking, SM Entertainment, WHERE IS THE PROFESSIONALISM? you are one of south korea's biggest entertainment companies and you have so much money, what are you using it for? because certainly not protecting your artists.
girly on the left sold wayv’s flight information which led to a sasaeng sitting next to YY the whole time
i may have forgotten some things because honestly there’s too many and these are just the ones that i remembered off the top of my head, feel free to add more
fans held up signs that celebrated winwin’s anniversary while he was on stage, the staff had the audacity to took them down, his parents were there too
