The CEO of Core Contents Media, Kim Kwang Su, expressed his displeasure with the Young Producers’ Association (YPA) due to their support of the three KARA members. Mr. Kim says, "I have ordered an immediate halt on the distribution of dramas, movie OSTs, and digital services of our artists on all digital music sites related to the YPA."He continues, "I have sent an official document to Loen and Mnet to take down our artists’ songs. The YPA has lost their ground, and even if my decision is not regarded favorably, such strong actions are needed as a veteran of the industry."Credits to allkpopThis guy here has created another "fan war" on the Internet.
Sigh... I think YPA shouldn't have agreed with the splitting at the first place.
However, what this guy is doing now is just making the
already worst situation even worse.
From what he told the press in the earlier news,
I can see that he hates Kara a lot for causing
the contract terminations thingy.
Whether the Kara controversy will or will not influence
his company's artists especially T-ara members to leave his company in the future,
I still think that he should have handled this matter a lot better than this or he
can just leave the problem to Kara and DSP to work it out.
I don't think it is wrong for artists to file contract termination with his/her company
when they think they've been mistreated by the company.
===================================================================
Some people are saying that he's not attempting to split KARA, instead he's reprimanding
YPA for their actions and trying to unite Kara.
And also that he's just trying to set an example to all the Korean artists that this is the
treatment they will get if they rebel against their companies.
First of all, I totally understand what they're trying to say here. =)
But I'm just thinking is it wrong for artists to file contract termination with his/her company when they think they've been mistreated by the company?
I mean is this an act of rebelling the company?
And if my company is unjust to me, can I not even rebel?
I'm saying what I think. =)
Nothing to do with Mr. Kim's issue.
