How luxurious rookie groups from large agencies have it now compared to the rookie groups of the past

AKP STAFF

It is widely known that the agency where an idol debuts under is one of the most important aspects of becoming a popular artist. Even K-pop idols are aware of this fact that Zico, advised in a radio talk show that it is important to pick a good entertainment agency.

Additionally, idols from large entertainment companies are given much support for promotion and are given various opportunities thanks to the financial support from their agencies.

These luxurious rookie groups from large companies are given unlimited sources of support and given a much better environment. 

One prime example is LE SSERAFIM, as the girls were rewarded a vacation after they successfully ended their debut promotions. Despite the difficulties and turmoils that they faced earlier on, LE SSERAFIM has grown a large following and gained many subscribers on their official YouTube channel, where they keep fans updated.

Recently, many netizens were impressed with the vacation the girls were awarded as they were able to spend time in a luxurious hotel where it costs 10 million KRW (~7,700 USD) a night to stay. In fact, the rookie girl group was given not just one but two luxury suites to stay in.

The company invested millions of KRW to create content showing LE SSERAFIM members enjoying their reward vacation.

Netizens were impressed with the amount of financial support the girls were given and said this would be impossible for rookie groups of the past, as no agencies could afford such a luxurious trip.

Netizens commented, "I didn't imagine they would spend so much money," "I feel like they would be given a good pay too," "So lucky," "It's a good thing Sakura came back to Korea," "They are so lucky they get to enjoy all those things," "Thanks to older Kpop idols, the newer Kpop idols can enjoy these luxuries," and "Idols from previous eras didn't get to enjoy all those things."

What kind of a vacation is it if you're filming a show at the same time and have to be in 'work mode' most of the time??

These groups just debut and already wear designer clothes, attend fashion shows, have enough money to buy expensive things...must be nice to be from big agency, being this spoilt from the start makes me wonder if their idol ego grows fast too.
