K-pop has long been global. From all corners of the earth, the Hallyu wave tends to be accepted by the public from various circles, resulting in a phenomenon called the “ Korean Wave ”. The global spread of Korean pop culture has prompted many people from other countries to learn Korean and Korean culture.
This is based on the fact that they really idolize their respective favorite Korean artists. Even so, the glitz of the South Korean industry holds various secrets that may or may not be known at all. As revealed by former Momoland member Daisy via her TikTok account @daisiesforyu recently.
Daisy reminded that not everyone does it but some behave like what she talked about. The first point, Daisy mentioned about artist signatures on albums that need to be signed in large numbers (hundreds or even thousands of albums) and that is very time consuming for the artist concerned.
For this reason, in practice, K-Pop companies will ask a group of staff (imitating the artist's signature) to sign the album that will be handed out through a lottery or event. There is a current controversy about the use of automatic pens for autograph albums, but although Daisy has never heard of it, there have been times she knows of staff signing instead of the artist, especially when it was done en masse.
"I just feel like it's a bit unfair to the people who receive the albums thinking they're signed," she said. Next about the reasons for an idol's hiatus and injury. In some cases they lie about the main reason for the hiatus. Even so, Daisy hopes that most of them don't lie.
"I've experienced this firsthand. Because in my hiatus meeting, they told me that the article that was going to come out said that you were on hiatus due to health issues," she said. However, Daisy refused this and if it was still written like that, at that time she threatened to tell the whole world that it was a complete lie.
Daisy added that the same thing happens with the reason for the hiatus due to injury. The agency's official statement might say that the idol has a fractured arm or a fractured leg and the idol will appear with crutches or a cast when they are actually fine. Daisy thinks that's just a new form of gaslight gatekeeping.
Lastly about the Live AR that is sometimes played at music shows and is different from the original recording. He said that the recording is very common and not "suspicious" but is recorded in the studio or before the show. The footage is made in such a way that it looks like it was recorded live. The footage must have been done while jumping or doing choreography during the recording.
Daisy explained that sometimes, idols don’t get to choose whether they use AR. The lack of resources for everyone to sing live can be a factor in that decision. The music show has the ability to tell idols how to perform. When the video was uploaded, fans were busy commenting on Daisy's statement with various opinions and even some real examples of what Daisy explained.
