GOT7’s Youngjae has once again publicly called out the production company regarding his unpaid fees for the musical Dream High 2. On July 20, he reposted the message he had shared in June, again requesting his payment.
The beloved idol’s ongoing struggle to receive what he’s owed has drawn significant attention from fans and the industry alike.
Please settle the payment and have a good Monday!
— Youngjae
He previously called them out, revealing that it had been almost a full year since he had been waiting for this to be settled. Fans are expressing immense support and frustration on his behalf.
The situation highlights a recurring issue in the entertainment world where artists, even established ones, face challenges in securing their rightful earnings.
His company also issued a statement, stating that although the musical company had promised repayment by June, they refuted the claim, revealing that they had never agreed to that settlement date. This indicates a clear communication breakdown and lack of transparency.
Youngjae’s persistence underscores the importance of fair treatment for performers.
Youngjae expressed his frustration, stating, “Did I ever ask for money that wasn’t fair? Was the time and effort I spent on this spent for nothing? I don’t know how many times I’ve heard them say they will settle it within this month.” His heartfelt words resonate deeply with anyone who has faced similar professional injustices.
This public plea for payment is a powerful reminder that even K-Pop idols can face these kinds of challenges.
Meanwhile, his company promises to place the highest priority on protecting the rights of its artists and will continue legal procedures regarding this matter. Ahgases (GOT7 fans) are rallying behind Youngjae, hoping for a swift and just resolution to this frustrating ordeal.
