kq is neglectful and selfish a thread
hongjoong was assigned eden as his mentor by kq even though the man expressed his lack of interest and care for hongjoong. eden proceeded to reject him, make him learn 200 terms in one night, and try and make him quit his career and give up on his dream.
seonghwa has been overworked to the point of lesions many times (for example these two) yet we've only heard of his hip injury, with which he was actually made to perform before it healed and his struggle was visible in aircon stages, which could worsen the damage.
yunho is main dancer but gets sent to the back way too often. he was the only one who qualified to record for millenium dance complex and led creation of pirate king choreography yet almost never gets point moves. has never gotten center in a dance break either.
yeosang is ateez's visual, right? i dare you to look at every single of their stages and try to find one where he's the ending fairy. there are zero. listed as vocalist yet gets a 4 lines at best. least screentime onstage, even other members are recorded on his parts.
san's position, even after being praised by numerous professionals for his dance skills and incredible stage presence, is still only listed as "vocalist". has never been in performance or dance line. overworked to the point of limping onstage and had bruises on his shoulders.
mingi's "assigned personality" has been pushed to the point where he had to clear up things in a vlive that the producers have made him say. he's aware and not comfortable with it. listed as main dancer yet is always in the back and almost never gets point choreo or center.
wooyoung has been sexualized by kq since he was a minor and has been forced to dance in front of adult judges who praised him for "sexiness". he's been marketed that way since mixnine when he was 17, and made to introduce himself as "sexy performer" since codename is ateez.
jongho had a major injury that required surgery (which was never disclosed) yet kq still continued with their plans and sent ateez to spain to start the tour. not to mention he has consistently been erased and ignored and gotten the least screentime since kq fellaz.
ateez is solely a way to gain profit for kq, that much is clear. they have continuously mistreated them and keep marketing them with different personalities by forcing them to act a certain way. to them, the members are only a source of money, nothing more.
in conclusion: fuck kq.
forgot to attach the examples of seonghwa's undisclosed injuries. also the fact that all of them have been injured at one point and every comeback there's a member that cant perform.
