Slave contracts are contracts that are very restrictive and are for a very long time, usually 13 years.
SNSD’s Yoona is under a contract for 13 years.
Super Junior’s contracts range from 5 to 13 years.
SHINee’s contracts range from 6 to 13 years.
Most of the other entertainment companies out there only sign their artists for around 5 to 7 years.
- 3 DBSK members, Xiah/Micky/Hero (filed lawsuit for slave contract)
-Hangeng (filed lawsuit for slave contract and lack of respect)
-Fly To The Sky (wanted to focus more on music instead of commercial success)
-Jang Nara (SM dropped her because they thought she wouldn’t be popular…they were wrong by the way)
-Moon Hee Jun (created his own company)
-H.O.T members, Jang Woo Hyuk/Tony An/Lee Jae Won (left to create a trio under another company)
-Shinhwa (Shinhwa rejected SM’s offer for a 2nd contract to join another company)
-Park Myung Soo (reason unclear)
SM Entertainment needs to stop doing this to their artists. Their contracts are destroying the health of people the same age as me.
