Jesus christ, there are NINE of them.

It's true Korean record labels are using them as expendables. These poor girls give up their HS/college and make fucking NOTHING (even worse with 9 members). Then after their fame wears off, the label drops them then find another set of impressionable kids.

how do you know they make nothing?

 

[DominionSeraph]

It's even more manufactured then the shit the US has.

There's often some honesty to the performers, though. With Americans it's completely fake -- you'll never see a real dancing like latinas (or Hyoyeon) or a genuine smile come out. American women are psychopathically duplicitous, which is just a terrible trait.
K-pop is pop without the modern complications.

As I suspected, they're with the notorious SM Entertainment (SES, HOT, etc).

They got sued by members of HOT and various others because they made next to nothing. They're nothing but puppets while labels rake in all the profits.

I'll just leave this here:

9 members, lol. I see they're all 21-23? If they had a proper job making freaking 35K/yr, they'd make far more on the long run as their career instead of this dubious stardom. I feel sorry where all the 9 members will be in 3, 5, 10 years.

Ok that makes me feel a lot better.

 

[Spacehead]

I don't get it. This is already stupid and I have'nt even heard their music yet.

Maybe this'll help?

 

[zinfamous]

what is a Koreaboo?

 

[uhohs]

Maybe this'll help?

all look the same. :hmm:

Doing what? They haven't made it in the US charts (which is auto world success).

I could see this; also, they all look the same so they could easily just swap out members for younger equivalents every few years and no one would even be able to tell.

what is a Koreaboo?

Someone who is obsessed with Korean culture, especially their shitty pop music, and wishes they were Korean instead of American or whatever their actual nationality is.

Derived from "weeaboo" which originally stood for "wapanese" (aka a white person who wishes he/she were Japanese). It was in a Perry Bible Fellowship comic and subsequently made it onto 4chan, where it took on its current meaning.

All of them went to HS & graduated. Some of them are in college now, some don't want to go. No celebrity in Korea gets paid very much, but SNSD are all millionaires.

don't they make a crap ton outside their contract?

Yes, thats where most of their money is made.

Plastic surgery is only a few thousand dollars...& most of SNSD has had little plastic surgery if any.

Link to their best song for people who don't know them.

I have no idea WTF I just watched.
