GOT7 vs. JYP Entertainment Company Dispute Controversy
Context by Compass
The claims made in the text about the GOT7 vs. JYP Entertainment Company Dispute Controversy revolve around allegations of mistreatment and inadequate support from JYP Entertainment, leading to GOT7's decision not to renew their contracts. According to a Yahoo News article, all seven members of GOT7 decided not to re-sign with JYP Entertainment, citing inadequate promotion and support from the company. The article mentions that the group did not receive a comeback showcase, which is customary for promoting groups, and that JYP made little effort to promote their activities. Additionally, the members have signed with different agencies, indicating their desire to pursue individual careers. JYP Entertainment's official statement did not address the specific accusations of mistreatment but acknowledged the group's contributions to K-pop and expressed support for their future endeavors. Further context from Koreaboo details specific grievances from fans, including the non-handling of invasive fans, failure to address malicious comments, blocking domestic schedules, lack of social media promotions, inefficiency in overseas schedules, unavailability of albums overseas, and interference with self-composed songs. These issues have led to significant dissatisfaction among fans, who have actively protested against the company's management practices. This context suggests that the claims of mistreatment have some basis, as evidenced by the members' decisions to leave and the lack of promotional support mentioned. However, it is important to note that JYP's statement did not confirm these allegations directly.
