Artists forced to accept “package deals” to appear on music programs
With the dispute between YG Entertainment and KBS’s “Music Bank” heating up, many have turned to question just how difficult it is for artists to gain even one appearance on Korea’s major music shows, and what that appearance actually means under the business table.
The Korean music industry currently houses three public broadcast shows on MBC, SBS, and KBS, along with a cable show on Mnet. While some may complain that these are far too many considering the fatigued conditions popular idols are forced to work in, the shows are actually limited in their ability to showcase actual music, as they serve as a bigger purpose in the industry and for their networks.
