[theqoo] TXT GOT BEATEN UP BY THEIR COMPANY WHEN THEY WERE TRAINEES

“BigHit who inflicted corporal punishment to trainees for not being able to dance”

SB: When we used to be trainees, there was a cover we had to perform? I joined BigHit and within 1~2 weeks? I had to learn this high level choreography. Back then, it was me, Taehyun and Yeonjun. Taehyun said that when he practiced that song, he used to be really scared. But it was seriously scary! Me and Taehyun had only been dancing for a week? Usually you’re still clumsy with the dance after 1 week of practice. Taehyun was in 2nd year middle school and I was 1st year high school. And we had to cover a super hard song from SEVENTEEN hyungs. They had me try to follow the dance and even when I tried to follow the dance, but they wouldn’t tell you how to follow the dance on the side, you just had to watch the video and follow it directly. Me and Taehyun would slow the dance down to 0.5x speed. So of course, we couldn’t dance. I know Taehyun had already mentioned it in the past, but we would get hit. We were learning while being hit…. Of course, nowadays, there’s no corporal punishments anymore

1. They still do that when they’re in the 4th generation… This is so evil 

2. No but they don’t even have the fundamentals down and they’re told to learn SEVENTEEN’s songs?

3. But idol fans also get hit. It’s just that they swapped it from their managers to their bodyguards

4. I don’t know much about TXT but I’ve seen shorts and this seems to happen a lot with this company… Why would you hit little kids when you’re earning money from them?

5. JYP said that they couldn’t even drink water whenever they wanted to and would get hit by a ski pole, meanwhile SM… also seems to be doing that 

6. Why would you hit people?

7. That’s crazy, how long has they been doing it that they’re still doing corporal punishment now? The industry is really trash 

8. So not f*cking surprised by BigHit

9. You think only BigHit hits people…?

10. HYBE, flop
