tw// violence, dec 18, jonghyun, suicide, mentions of isolation, human rights violations, and verbal abuse.
sm has repeatedly violated human rights with decade long contracts that can not be broken or revised, and unfair treatment. Some contracts are 17 YEARS
they fine trainees and idols for not following rules
forced more practice or no practice. Extreme exercise is a common form of punishment.
They’ll force trainees to write apology letters to the company and they won’t be allowed to resume normal activities until the company seems the letter good enough https://twitter.com/thesuhspense/status/1320417517899288585
many trainees report verbal abuse by managers and coaches
sm hires sasaengs as staff
staff makes trainees hold their breathe for extended periods of time as punishment
tw// dec 18, suicide
sm does not acknowledge jonghyun’s death and made NO changes to the way it treats idols. jonghyun simply disappeared from sm recognition halls with nothing said.

SM IS LITERALLY RACIST. They discriminate against non-korean idols
surprise, surprise, idols have no control over schedules are are often worked so hard they become ill but the company doesn’t care and forced them to do more
I already said this but PAY IS TAKEN AWAY FROM IDOLS FOR NOT DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE COMPANY WANTS
THEY DELAY TREATMENTS OF IDOL’S INJURIES AND FORCE THEM TO WORK MORE
the staff is controlling and the idols are visibly afraid of them. It’s terrifying to think about.
please, if anyone has more information about this please let me know. I’m tired of sm and other companies getting away with this without ppl talking about it https://twitter.com/thesuhspense/status/1320511170168659970

I used a lot of sources but here’s what I remember:
Anything about unfair pay/unethical treatment came from the lawsuits filed by former artists
used several trainee interviews including http://koreaboo.com/stories/former … I took these with a grain of salt
sasaeng staff is fan verified

I unfortunately can’t 100% verify all the trainee stories since I obv wasn’t there. I included ones I felt seemed accurate and ones that matched up with other stories or occurrences (ex: trainee being hit with basketball and Johnny being hit by trainer in vid)
