has been keeping her fans updated through her YouTube channel, and in a past video, she revealed that she had not been compensated by her agency for her promotional work with Ladies' Code.
In the video, Ashley explained to her fans that she was paid for the first time after coming to Korea. She explained," It might sound ridiculous but we were earning while promoting as Ladies' Code but I never received that money. Everything went to the company to pay off our debt. So I didn't know what it felt like to earn money for 7 years. So, I receive my first monthly pay and it's the monthly pay I received while working at the radio station."
Many netizens were shocked as they revisited Ashley's video, where she revealed that she was not paid by her company at all while promoting with Ladies' Code. Netizens were more shocked as Ladies' Code was under
remember that Ladies Code is under Polaris, which is BBC's parent company
save ladies Code and Loona
Most idols didn't get paid even though They Worked super Hard, That’s one of The saddest things about The entertainment industry
it literally makes no sense this huge debt they have to work for and they never even get paid seems like a scam honestly better off taking out a bank loan 🥲
....that the labels take advantage of. Labels normally are not transparent with the profit distribution especially now that several artists have exposed the unfair distribution. But honestly, for small labels, this system is what allowed them to debut groups....
This is the problem in a lot of companies. It has become the norm of paying up your expenses first for everything you incured before getting paid. Unfortunately the expenses pile up if you don't sell hence these idols don't get paid at all. But this system also has a loophole....
The ceo of BBC if I’m not mistaking had a position on Polaris Ent. I read a long time ago.
Bap, ladies code, loona, omegax, lee seung gi... These are just the artists that have been talked about lately, but this is something that affects most of the industry. Contracts really need to be regulated under laws that do not allow this to continue to happen .
you need to make money to make money, these are all flops
Is the 50:50 share of cost by the company even good?
That's what a lot of idols have to go through and it makes me so sad. I'm glad more and more idols are brave and try to fight for their rights & sue their company!
ladies code were under polaris, the parent company of loona's company 'blockberry'
this is so sad :( good thing she's made a name out of herself!!! ❤️
