Summary:
Many Korean celebrities often have their privacy intruded upon by their agents. Such as the case of the alleged cloning of actress Jeon Ji-hyeon's cell phone. However many entertainers sign "slave contracts" at the expense of their rights because it is difficult for them to make it big without those agencies. They complain that their agents control their lives excessively and that they virtually have no private life. Whereas agencies claim that such monitoring is necessary because they have made big investments in them and need to prevent celebrities signing on at another agency. Oppressive contracts and intrusion of privacy have led to unhappy entertainers. Korean pop culture has been declining steadily in other Asian countries, the author believes that removing this oppressive system will inject new vitality to revive the Korean entertainment industry.
