Korean officials hold conference to protect rights of idols

In response to the growing public outcry over "slave contracts" and the alleged mistreatment of idols (as evidenced by the JYJ-SM Entertainment / KARA-DSP Entertainment controversies), government officials and broadcasting executives met today to discuss policies to protect the rights of idols, who are increasingly entering the industry at younger and younger ages. Also discussed was the problem of defining "indecent exposure" (the amont of exposure deemed unsuitable for public broadcast), which seems to be more of a vague idea than an actual standard, as it varies from network to network. Attendees included the Secretary of Health and Welfare, the Fair Trade Commission, the Communications Commission, and a number of other related government regulatory bodies.  Representatives from the "big three" broadcasting stations included the KBS Content Director and the heads of production of MBC and SBS.
