I am going to put to rest my stand on this DBSK/THSK contract nonsense once and for all.
Wow, you're a bitch. I mean, why are you comparing them to the average American family? They are not an American FAMILY. They are entertainers and compare to American ENTERTAINERS, they are making way below than what they should be making. And you need to re-check your calculations because you are off. How about you use a currency converter, then use a calculator.
I love how you are talking a whole lot of shit about something you don't understand. How would you like it, if YOU had to work everyday to the point of fatigue? How would you like it if you only get one week of vacation out of the whole year?
Firstly, I am using the American family comparison because it is something many people can relate to. I KNOW THEY ARE NOT AN AMERICAN FAMILY. I don't know what hinted me to it, but perhaps the fact that they're all Asian and speak bad English and oh, DON'T LIVE IN AMERICA gave me a clue as to who they really are.
And do you want to know why American entertainers earn more? BECAUSE THEY CATER TO A FUCKING INTERNATIONAL MARKET YOU IDIOT. International market = more people buy/listen = more money. As much as DBSK can boast having international superstardom and having the biggest fucking fanclub in the world, that does not mean that their music is going to be accepted on a large scale internationally anytime soon. THANKS FOR THE CHILDISH DEFENSE BY THE WAY. You only proved how brainless some of you fans are. Argh.
Secondly, I've asked in my previous post for everyone to define what is fair pay for DBSK considering SM Entertainment was the company that made DBSK who they are, supposedly deserving of "higher pay" as fans deem it.
To make it simpler for you single-celled organisms to understand, imagine this:
Before you were born, you lived in this place. Let's call this place 'heaven'. And in this place, there was nothing to do all day, just sit around on clouds and more clouds. It was a dull life, you wanted more.
So you went to this all mighty power, let's call this power figure 'God'. You tell him of your dreams of a more interesting life other than just sitting on clouds and he agrees to help you. He tells you that he will send you to Earth, the place of much fun and experience, if you agree to preach to the other people on earth how wonderful he is for letting them be on Earth.
However, before this meeting, you've heard stories of how 'God' likes to send people into strange and harsh conditions like deserts and poor villages to preach just because he's in control like that.
So you think about it, and decide, "yeah, I still want to go to Earth even though it might be difficult". So you have an agreement with God to live an interesting life on Earth for 75 years.
So a few years later, when you've successfully preached to more people than God expected you to, you complain to God that 75 years is too short a life to be living. You don't want to go back to the dull place. It's totally unfair because you've preached much better than anyone else, in harsher conditions than anyone could have ever done.
Now here's the part where defining fairness is hard: God could have simply not sent you to Earth in the first place and you would have lived 75 dull years. You wouldn't even have the chance to complain about unfairness because you wouldn't even have gone to Earth and preached at all. Technically, you wouldn't have a life at all.
So now, define fairness. Is SM entertainment at fault - they who gave DBSK their lives as superstars in return for hard work and low royalty margins? Or is DBSK at fault - for not thinking through what they really REALLY wanted in the first place.
As for the parts dealing with money in my post, I never said they were 100% accurate. In fact, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS. I just did a rough calculation and thus I'm talking shit? Those figures, give or take 1000 or so dollars (6000+ - 8000+ dollars a month) still stands.
And also, my post still stands even if you take away the money parts. Why sign the contract in the first place if it was unfair? Why did Changmin and Yunho not join them in this fiasco if it REALLY was unfair? Why did their parents sign the contracts for them in the first place if they thought it was unfair? If they had no time to sleep, then why did they have time to find a cosmetic company to invest it? What is fair pay if SM entertainment MADE DBSK who they are today?
And you know what? Let me tell you how I would feel if I were worked to the point of fatigue everyday. I WOULDN'T. Because me, being the realist that I am, would have known that being a star was difficult and thus WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE SIGNED that unfair contract in the first place. Hey, just because DBSK were a bunch of idealistic morons who thought showbiz was an ordinary job with ordinary expectations does not excuse them from their legal obligations.
Once again, DO NOT COMMENT if you can't answer the following questions, because I'm sick and tired of how stupid people can be and so much stupidity might be contagious.
The questions:
- Why sign the contract in the first place if it was unfair?
- Why did Changmin and Yunho not join them in this fiasco if it REALLY was unfair?
- Why did their parents sign the contracts for them in the first place if they thought it was unfair?
- If they had no time to sleep blablabla (my heart cries for them), then why did they have time to find a cosmetic company to invest it?
- What is fair pay if SM entertainment MADE DBSK who they are today?
And you know what? If you're so SURE that I'm a total bitch who doesn't know what I'm talking about and that you are SO right, then by all means leave a smart comment with your name. Anonymous haters who think they can get away with stupidity thus leave stupid comments just pisses me off SO bad.
Will not address this issue anymore unless someone can answer to my satisfaction the questions I have listed above. Otherwise, I am right, all of you are wrong and you should just deal with it. Some people are just born more brilliant (that's me, by the way) than others (you stupid DBSK-defenders who can't even string together proper logic).
