Chapter 280: The Sufferings of Trainees

At about 7 o'clock in the morning, Park Ji-ho plus Tara and Lee Ji-eun, a total of eight people, sat down at the breakfast table together, breakfast was delivered from the canteen of the Haoyan Group, Park Ji-ho has no time to cook for the girls, because since JHENTERTAINMENT has become a subsidiary of the Ho-yeon Group, Park Ji-ho, the president, has been very busy, although the vice president Yoo Jae-seok, and the head of the business department Nam You-jeong, are helping Park Ji-ho, but Park Ji-ho is still very busy, however, Park Ji-ho knows that this is also temporary, As long as JHENTERTAINMENT recruits full staff, everything is on track, and it will be easy for you to come down later!

During the meal, Park Ji-ho said to Park Ji-yeon and Lee Ji-eun: "Ji-yeon and Ji-eun, today you are going to SBS to participate in an interview for a variety show, perform well, you have an eighty percent chance of fixing." ”

Park Ji-ho's words made Park Ji-ho and Lee Ji-eun happy, you must know that it is difficult to fix a variety show, if you can fix a variety show, then you can expose yourself regularly, which is very good for popularity.

After seeing the two nodding happily, Park Ji-ho smiled and said to the other tara members: "Baolan, Juli, So-yeon, Eun-jeong, Hyo-min, today the five of you are going to shoot an advertisement for Haoyeon's drink, but your advertisement is not broadcast in South Korea, but for the Celestial Empire." It's very interesting, your popularity in South Korea has plummeted, but in the Celestial Empire, I don't know why your popularity has increased instead of decreasing, so I am also preparing to face more fans of the Celestial Empire in the July album. ”

Park Ji-ho's words made the tara members also breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they are still popular. No matter where it is. As long as there is popularity. If he won't be a drag on Oppa, then Tara will be happy, and because of this, Tara will have a trace of gratitude to the fans of the Celestial Empire from this time.

After breakfast, a group of people walked to the company, Park Ji-ho walked directly to his sixth-floor office, and the other girls had to be separated from Park Ji-ho at this time, and they had to be rushed to their respective workplaces today by their respective agents.

As soon as Park Ji-ho arrived at the office, Yoo Jae-seok walked in. Seeing Park Ji-ho, he immediately reported: "Ji-ho, we have now recruited almost 100 trainees, and Yoo Jae-hyun is now a little overwhelmed by the head of the brokerage department and the head of the trainee department, so I hope you can give a personal candidate to take over the position of the head of the trainee department of Yoo Jae-hyun as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, Park Jiho nodded, and then thought for a while: "Let Zhou Ji-hoon take over the head of the trainee department, he used to be an S-M trainee, and then he couldn't be an agent, and now I will transfer him back to be the trainee minister, and tell him that the reason for transferring him is not to let him learn to treat trainees like S-M." Instead, he wants to get rid of S-M's bad way of dealing with trainees. ”

Liu Zaishi nodded immediately, and then continued: "There is also the contract issue of the trainee. Is it the same as the other three major entertainment companies? ”

Seriously, trainees are bitter, Korean artists? Most of them are signed by brokerage companies for training in elementary or high school, called "trainees". The training cycle is generally two to three years, starting from the age of fourteen or fifteen to debuting at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

At present, the selection of ordinary Korean "trainees" has reached the intensity of 800 out of 1. And only about half of the trainees can make a successful debut. This serious imbalance between supply and demand is the root cause of all kinds of human rights violations.

Like Park Ji-ho's company because it has just started, there is no age limit, and older people can also participate in the selection, however, a large entertainment company like S-M has its trainee system: "The general trainee (that is, the trainee) will enter the company at the age of 10, and the artist will be selected through the examination at the age of 15, this process is very strict, from the voice, stage, body, appearance, including makeup and styling must be learned, and there is a strict assessment, and the unqualified will be eliminated at any time." ”

As a trainee at S-M, you need to practice for up to 20 hours a day. "The devilish practice was so hard that people didn't even know about it after two months of broken bones. The trainees eat and live in the company, and when they go out in private, they are completely managed by the agent, and there is almost no freedom at all.

Of course, this is just hard work, the trainee's greater helplessness is the exploitation of the company, after signing the contract to become a "slave" economic exploitation is very serious, the contract terms are very harsh, the most powerful of which is S-M, the most fierce last year is that the three members of TVXQ filed a lawsuit with the court, asking for a judgment that the 13-year agreement between the three and S-M Entertainment Company is invalid, after months of litigation entanglement, the Seoul Central District Court ruled that the 13-year contract between SM and the three is unilaterally invalid - from "TVXQ" This lawsuit with S-M Entertainment shows that the Korean entertainment industry is harsh in signing the agreement. And his wife Lin Yuner also told herself that their girlhood was the same as TVXQ, and the contract time they signed was 13 years, which happened to be the most golden age for idols.

Park Ji-ho knew that the trainee's suffering came from his sister Park Ji-yeon, so when Yoo Jae-seok asked if the trainee's contract problem was the same as the other three major entertainment companies, Park Ji-ho shook his head decisively, of course the selection would be the same cruel, which Park Ji-ho thought could not be avoided, because Park Ji-ho's company did not need rotten people, but in terms of training, freedom and contracts, Park Ji-ho seemed to give the trainees the greatest tolerance.

And Park Ji-ho also hopes to be brushed down by the company as a trainee who has not debuted, and the company's own internal absorption of this group of people, can be a producer, can be behind the scenes, anyway, don't let them start from scratch here, let them avoid detours, this policy has given Park Ji-ho's company a lot of benefits later, that is, Park Ji-ho's company has strong cohesion.

Soon Park Zhihao said: "Our trainees' contracts can't be the same as other companies, we have to give the trainees humane management to the greatest extent, so that the trainees treat the company as their home, instead of trapping their shackles, because the only thing that wants to keep people is home, and no matter how tight the shackles are, it just makes the other party struggle more crazy, and in the end they will leave without looking back." ”

Park Ji-ho's words, Yoo Jae-shi nodded thoughtfully, and then Park Ji-ho continued: "The contract should be considered as much as possible on the side of the trainees, and there should be no excessive and unreasonable shackles, in addition, the trainee housing will be a dormitory for six people, with a subsidy of 500,000 won, but for those who are older or have family pressure, they can apply for assistance for three months, 2 million won per month, and we must live with human nature." ”

"Yes!" Liu Zaishi smiled and said, "I will discuss everything you say with our lawyer, and then come up with a human contract that belongs to our JHENTERTAINMENT company." ”

Yoo Jae-seok's words made Park Ji-ho smile slightly and nodded. (To be continued......)
