On the eve of TEEN TOP's comeback, C.A.P left the group! Exposing suspicions of the management company brainwashing idols and sexual harassment allegations!
Recently, the boy group TEEN TOP made a comeback. However, member C.A.P, who announced his departure from the group on May 9th, caused a stir by revealing behind-the-scenes secrets about the company on his own YouTube channel, sparking heated discussion among netizens. In the short video, C.A.P said, "I want to talk about what I've felt during my 14 years as an idol," frankly admitting that he believes the reason for the gradual deterioration of idol culture is due to companies' brainwashing. "The agency constantly brainwashes friends who are preparing to become idols, stating that they can't have relationships, smoke, or drink. If they partake in these behaviors, the company might go bankrupt despite the investment. This kind of brainwashing is ongoing. When they are trainees, it is physically laborious. After debut, it becomes emotionally laborious. They get criticized by people they never expected, including fans who always seem to have a malicious comment, who are also giving advice at the same time, who often think of themselves as teachers. In reality, they are the ones who are emotionally disturbed." C.A.P also stated that with the development of the internet and SNS, celebrities have become very stressed. Although malicious comments are abundant, idols can't say anything. Because they can't handle things fairly, they are always uncomfortable, mentally unwell, and physically poor. C.A.P said, "Idols have become a profession that sells illusions from a certain moment. Idols started because they wanted to sing and dance, and companies started packaging for making money." "Male idols also experience sexual harassment, such as being touched on the buttocks, their own chests... It starts getting mentally distressing from here, really strange kids, making me do all sorts of things," revealing the grievances suffered during his time as an idol. C.A.P debuted in 2010 as a member of TEEN TOP and left the group last month before their comeback in May due to dissatisfaction with idol life. He also terminated his exclusive contract with his agency. Netizens have different reactions to this: "Drinking, smoking, and dating should be handled carefully during group activities as they may affect the whole team", "It's about the people at the TEEN TOP fan signing event, if there was any sexual harassment, of course, they are wrong", "Recently, fans think they are the masters, as long as they give money, the idols can do anything."
