Recently, Yiren, a member of the group of everglow girls, shocked the fans when he revealed that he had never received payments from his agency, Yuehua Entertainment, from the debut of the group in 2019.

Yiren’s heartbreaking revelation

He shared:
I love the stage very much but in a certain sense I have zero income, but I don’t want to give up this career? In reality we have not yet settled, not once.
So, the tour is really what we want to show our fans and we are working hard to prepare ourselves. But I’m sorry there are no new songs and performances to show everyone Hahaha.
Yiren also said that the group is currently preparing for a next tour in an attempt to repay fans’ support.
Indignant fans for unpaid earnings

Yiren’s case has again aroused discussions on financial equity in the K-Pop sector. Should the strongest protections be implemented to ensure that idols are properly compensated for their hard work?
