Past Mistreatment Of GFRIEND By Source Music Gets Spotlighted Again

They suffered under Source Music.

Source Music is currently under controversy due to their entanglement in HYBE‘s feud with ADOR‘s Min Hee Jin. They have recently made moves to sue the CEO. In some of their accusations, they accused Min Hee Jin of poaching their trainees to create NewJeans. NewJeans’ parents countered by pointing out their neglect for the NewJeans’ members when they were still trainees. Fans have also belatedly spotlighted GFRIEND‘s mistreatment from Source Music. GFRIEND was a group that was under the company until they were suddenly disbanded. Here are some of the accusations that were thrown at Source Music.

1. Insufficient breaks

A famous case was when Yuju confessed to having gotten her wisdom teeth taken out purposely. She wanted to take a break from intense choreography practices, and was left with no choice but to undergo the surgery to get a few days off.

2. The show must go on

The girls have suffered a lot during their career. When a member has to sit out, the rest continue to perform. Once, Umji was absent due to a leg injury, but the rest continued to perform.

3. Bad stage conditions

How can we forget the multiple times that the girls fell on stage due to bad stage conditions? The girls went viral for it, but at what cost?

4. Desperately hungry

The girls were often on strict diets. Yerin confessed to having climbed out a 2nd floor window once, just so she could escape to get food.

5. Blacking out

Yuju once blacked out during a fansign, causing fans to be concerned.

6. Fainting on stage

SinB fainted on stage out of exhaustion from their back-to-back schedules.

7. Disbanding

Who can forget how the girls were disbanded? They often talk about how they did not expect it, and that the announcement was sudden. Fans were excited because the group had been absorbed by HYBE, a large company that provided them with more resources. The happiness was short-lived. You can read more about it below.
