There's A Special Term In YG's Contract That Exists Just For AKMU

AKMU‘s Lee Suhyun discussed one special term she and her brother, Lee Chanhyuk, have in their contracts with YG Entertainment during her appearance on Talkmon.

She first explained that when AKMU competed in K-Pop Star 2 and won the chance to sign a contract with YG Entertainment, she heard rumors about Korean entertainment agencies forcing idols to get plastic surgery done.

“I heard rumors like when Korean idols fall asleep and wake up, they’d have double eyelids done… or when the agency takes them to get immunization shots, instead they’ll be getting their noses done.” — Lee Suhyun

Lee Suhyun continued, “My brother and I got scared we’ll have to get something done to our faces.” So right before they finalized the contract, AKMU asked that a term be added stating the group will not need plastic surgery.

“We told the agency that we don’t want to get anything done to our faces.” — Lee Suhyun

When asked what YG Entertainment’s reaction to AKMU’s special term was, she answered, “Well, they cracked up first. Then they said we won’t ever need to because they will never want us to.”
