What happens to Unpopular kpop groups! #kpop #shorts

What really happens to unsuccessful K-pop groups?

A former K-pop idol revealed.

On major shows like Music Bank, they're usually scheduled among the very first performances.

But as tradition goes, after finishing their stage, they're required to stand in a hallway for hours.

Waiting for the popular groups to wrap up, just so they can greet the PD alongside them.

Their payment around 100,000 won, roughly $80.

Not per member, but for the entire team.

Since many idols go long periods without pay, unpaid dorm bills can sometimes mean no gas or electricity.

In extreme cases, members even use the balcony as a makeshift refrigerator.

Finally, if groups disband, idols may also face debts tied to their training and debut expenses.

In this industry, agencies are often considered good if they choose to wave those debts.
