#pledis is shit

[buddha-nayoung]

Excuse me, Pledis, what am I supposed to do without my daily dose of Pristin vlives? Explain yourself? And there still are no teasers? Debut countdown? Excuse me?

BigHit is a shit company just like Pledis, their artists are not free at all... there are so much proof on how bighit literally explores bts and make them feel tied to their contracts. They make so much money out of anything bts does and most of the money doesn't go their artists, so no bighit isn't much better than pledis.

Okay first and foremost, I am not saying BH is perfect. No company ever is. What I am saying and will continue to say is that they are much better than Pledis. This is a fact.

Do BTS have contracts that restrict certain parts of their lives? Yes. All idols do. Do BTS have considerably more creative control over their work than other idols? Idk does the fact that they're literally doing every single part of the album making process on their new album all on their own however they want it give us a good clue?

As for royalties, it has been reported that the profits are divided, for most divisions, as 70/30 with BTS getting 70%. While w/ svt it's been reported to be around 80/20 or 70/30 with 80/70 for the company.

BTS, especially Jin, are infamous for going against management and doing whatever he wants just fine. They are also all really close to and have good relationships with Bang PD and other management and staff.

On the other side, the members themselves have constantly shown distrust in the company. Cheol and Jihoon are constantly implying how they can't do anything without permission. One of them (I think it was DK but I can't remember for sure rn) even going on to straight up call them evil in their LieV and Cheol secretly warning a fan at a fansign to not join as a trainee, Vernon straight up banning his sister from joining etc are just a few examples. Idk if you've been around long enough to have seen or remember some of the scandals the company has had but I've been here since 2015 and do remember a lot of stuff, including the many video/pics of proof that staff members were taking Seventeen's fan gifts for themselves.

And while we're talking about artist treatment let's also address that BH, especially Bang PD, are known within the industry for artist development. Pledis on the other hand is literally infamous for not treating their artists well and their mistreatment has been the main reason for many of their idols leaving. They are also infamous for running successful groups into the ground. They are known to not promote their artists well and it has been one of the biggest reasons for their groups not doing well. Anyone who has seen Seventeen Project and has half a braincell can see how little they do to promote their artists.

So yeah let's compare, how many famous and successful groups can I name off the top of my head that have met their demise or have struggled to stay alive in the industry as a direct result of the company's mistreatment and neglect of them?

Here's the list for Pledis-

1. After School/Orange Caramel

2. Pristin

3. Nu'est

And then there's BigHit-

...

So yeah that's that. Also, before I go, here's some videos to educate yourself on how and why Pledis have the title of one of the absolute worst companies in the industry in terms of artist treatment-

Both very well researched and well structured videos. There's a lot more of these around but I think two are more than enough to back my point.

I do believe I've made my argument fairly well so imma end with just this-

If you had any dignity at all then you should've come to start drama off anon and brought some actual proof of how BH is "just as bad" as Pledis to back your claims up. Instead you're hiding behind that anon feature going off about how BH "explores" BTS, whatever that means, and making it as if they're anywhere near as genuinely evil as Pledis has always been known to be.

Again, BH is not perfect. There's plenty of things they could do better. But at the end of the day they're much, much, much better at treating their artists well than Pledis and that's that.

just another piece of thought...

what if NU’EST really wanted to comeback with another album like what baekho promised but pledis just told us the opposite. bec you know, pledis is shady as hell.
