On February 28, Daesung invited Lisa di Blackpink to her “Zip Daesung” YouTube channel, where they had a conversation.
During their chat, Lisa took a break to adjust the hair and makeup. Looking at her lagly, Daesung was stopped, pushing Lisa to ask, “Are you not also receiving a touch -up?”
Daesung replied, “The person who does my retouches have already left the job. “ When Lisa asked if they left in time, he explained, “They end the work but remain nearby, do some commissions and then return freely. “
Then added, “But I pay only for the time I am here. If they go somewhere else, I don’t pay for that time. “ Lisa laughed and said: “It’s not bad. I don’t even need tweaks, so they can simply leave “, Plovidmis by getting along with Daesung’s approach.
Daesung further commented, “As CEO, you start thinking about things like this. You end up spending a lot more money in unexpected places. “
Although the conversation was carefree, his observations triggered online debate. Some criticized him, saying: “So does not officially reject the make -up staff but keep them waiting without remuneration? It is scandalous. “ “This is a well -known violation of the rights of the work called” Wage room “(Kkeokgi).” “Either the entire Daesung YouTube production team regularly violates the laws at work, or are subjected to violations of the work themselves. “” This is just a wage exploitation. “
Others defended him, supporting, “It was obviously a joke.” “People are reacting excessively to carefree observation.” “Critic him without knowing the terms of the contract is unfair.” “This is not just pungent at all.”
The term “shaving of wages” refers to the arbitrary adaptation of employees’ working hours or the reduction of the working time recorded to pay them less. The laws at work require employers to provide at least 70% of the usual wages of an employee for the times of inactivity caused by the employer.
Some argue that even as a joke, using the gaps in labor law as a comic material is inappropriate.
This controversy highlights the ongoing debate on labor rights in the entertainment sector and the subtle line between humor and ethical practices in the workplace.
