Angry fans demand that Starship Entertainment let Wonyoung rest between performances

Fans have taken to social media to express their anger at the agency for overworking their idols like IVE's Wonyoung, who looked exhausted at a University Festival performance. Fans demanded that Starship Entertainment take better care of her, and take her age into consideration before over-working her to such an extent.

It should be taken into consideration that the copious levels of stress on idols at such a young age often results in sometimes, severe health issues.

However, this isn't the first time a company has been called out for trying to profit out of their idols by overworking them. Additionally, idols have also mentioned that companies hardly pay them for all the work that they are made to do.

TXT's Taehyun shared the tough reality of being in the entertainment industry with his fans. When asked if he was being paid enough for the way he was being worked, he said that if he was, he'd have "already bought a building by now."

Fans of several K-pop groups have previously demanded that companies treat their artists with kindness and allow them time to recuperate between their hectic schedules.
