Daisy requested to return to MOMOLAND promotions in May 2019, but was never given a chance, instead being told to "rest"

She asked for her contract to be terminated but MLD demanded a 1.1 billion won termination fee

She said that she felt she was able to return to promotions

The response she got was "no, it's a good idea if you just rest"

So I get her motives now but still very risky

The way she's been sidelined and dungeoned through the entire 2019 is so infuriating. You can tell how pissed and done she is which is why she's resorting to such drastic measures.

I'd give anything to see an idol's contract in it's entirety with all the terms, limitations, profit distributions and penalities.
How companies can do this and not get sued for breach of contract is something I'll never understand.

What chickenheads are running that company jesus christ,they had a golden opportunity with momoland and they blew it because of..a dating scandal?

This is why I always say that if I were to become an idol,it's the Big 3 or nothing..at least there you know what you're working for,instead of working with loan sharks who will try to throw you into a million dollar debt after treating you like shit.

This makes me curious as to what happened to the other members that left though..have they suffered the same fate?

MMLD's management is so odd.
They get famous for viral songs then change the style.

Double Kick has numerous hit songs but I don't think they've ever produced a title for them, only bsides.

They try so hard to mediaplay using the girls dating and scandals but chose to punish them for it.

Add girls in just to take them out.

If a company could have split personality, it'd be this one

I still do not understand why the families do not hire a contract lawyer for the day .
I could maybe see that the companies will not let them take a copy out but you can always bring help in.
So silly.

It's actually a pretty insane story when you think of it, basically the agency took around $60,000 from each member to fund the show in the first place :umwhat:
Then, Daisy's dating news comes out, she gets dungeoned indefinitely. Taeha and Yeonwoo get to still participate in promotions for a while and then are granted permission to leave while there's absolutely 0 updates about Daisy.
And now it comes to light they wanted around a million dollars for contract termination :umwhat:

Who did these calculations lmao.

I can see Daisy's POV honestly. Going public with this might be the only way to get out. And even in the worst case, if the courts rule against her, I don't think the amount would come to 1.1 billion won.

I'm not surprised at all that she chose to go against her company this way. Does she have lot of chance to handle things differently, other than "rest" i guess and be left with debt for that 60k. I doubt Momoland members have gotten still enough earnings to pay for it :dubuthink:

Tbh, most kpop contracts sound like scams. You are lucky if you come out with any earnings, so many idols end up on minus.

Yeah I mean I can see Jooe and Nancy earning enough through solo activities and CF deals/variety appearances to pay off their debt but not sure about the other members. And keep in mind the other members are atleast getting to work and promote, so they're earning something.

With Daisy, they're basically not letting her work and not letting her leave either. Girl had no choice. I guess being sued is a risk she and her family are willing to take.

They have been doing their hardest to ruin success that Momoland got with Bboom Bboom :jisoosmh: :jisoosmh:

I feel sorry for her and wish her the best. I know people give us crap for being lawsuit happy in America but it's because we file so many suits that we get justice and fair compensation on things. From what i've seen in the past idols are usually at a loss in the Korean court system though because they don't have the money to fight
