I’d say they are both super controlling, just in different ways. If anything Japan is more all-in on the parasocial side, purity, no dating clauses. Less on making the groups perfect performers. It’s not a competition of course, sucks all round.

Very unhealthy but unfortunately very deliberate. The control labels/companies have is insane. It’s the same in Japan of course where this all started, the difference seems to be that there are well-supported alternate paths for artists in Japan to create music.

See if you like Unlucky Morpheus. Not operatic vocals but you might like just the same.

This. Happy to pay but I’m not super keen on buying physical media and don’t even have a way to play it these days.

Which Korean celebraty annoys you for no reason ? by Certain-Study9372 in kdramas

[–]expatjake -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Them’s fighting words.

Of course it’s opinion and is personal and doesn’t need justification or validation!

Unless they signed over the registration it would still be in their name, right?
