Literally the only reason Seventeen is successful and not in the Pledis dungeon is because they produce their own music and make there own choreography.
@K.G pristin did write some of their songs even nuest too...but they don't compose and produce their own..and svt did everything including music and choreography. That's the only reason they survive..pledis is shit.
@K.G nope, even SVT pre-debut SVT made a choreo to for Nu'est. Its like Pledis just Lazy. Pristin made the choreo sometimes but for song, I saw that they didn't compose but writes the lyrics. For SVT, they do anything by their own.
@K.G read what I wrote again...they obviously write their lyrics but did they compose their music?? Did they choreograph their own choreo? That's what I've been saying...of course, they help write their songs..I even stated that.
There was an article during a Seventeen fansign where a fan told s.coups that she was planning to audition at Pledis but he told her to stay away from the company because she will regret it. This makes me wonder what kind of treatment do Pledis groups have.
the interesting thing about svt is that scoups doesn’t seem afraid to stand up to the company. like he’s said on a broadcast that he cares way more about his members than the company and has made direct requests to the company for things to benefit the members, and he reportedly straight up told a fan at a fansign not to join pledis. i gotta wonder if part of why seventeen has gotten less bullshit compared to their other groups is not just because pledis wouldn’t survive without them but also because they know that they’ve inadvertently put their biggest group in the hands of a leader who isn’t afraid to throw his weight around when it comes to his group’s well being. like i have to wonder if he’s aware that if they drop svt pledis is basically fucked and that’s why he can stand up to them like he has
I know this is an old comment, but I will literally not shut up about this. I strongly believe Seventeen are where they are now because they've experienced the bad handling and have witnessed it happen to Nu'est as well. I wont forget the one time managers didn't notify fans of a performance for 17project, the members made sure that didn't happen again. Like you said, Cheol makes sure to go to the company when needed and Seungkwan is great at networking and to this day personally reaches out to show producers to get them more exposure. The members don't completely rely on Pledis' management and I'm glad they don't.
They already knew how bad Pledis was, but they didn't want to give up even in the time of trainee. When I saw Wonu being interviewed when their ring was taken, he said about his trainee days 4 years in Pledis and sacrificing his school days just to took off his ring back, I cried seeing him cuz Wonu and I were born in the same year. I don't know why but I feel it. Despite how bad Pledis was, when Svt were in their present position, today, Dokyeom and Woozi innocently said on LieV that Pledis was a bad agency in their past, Coups and Seungkwan covered it by said that now Pledis is very good to them, I think besides Coups and Seungkwan want to protect their members from bad comments cuz at that time they were Live, they also wanted their members to give their thanks to Pledis. That's why I never throw words to Pledis now. Coups is the best leader. He seemed to want to protect the family without any fear. Like how he defended Vernon, he poured his emotions in the lyrics of the song The Other Side / Believe Me. And also how he wrote the lyrics of his solo song Fenomeno, made me really admire him. If there're some peoples mocking to Svt cuz they do everything by themself, I would say, that's why I should stan a group like them, they're not joke when they called as Self-Produced Idol. When u see n know how's Seventeen, u will know how talented they are. Vocal-unit, HipHop-unit, Performance-unit, if we listen to songs from each unit, they have different musical tastes, but when they become one, Seventeen with 13 boys they are on another level. Peoples should stop saying them flop, they're just from a poor agency, n the greatest thing are they keep think to make the group become bigger n created a history with the group. Even Dino had this dream since his trainee days. They were knew that their agency was poor but they never lost their hope to debute. And the hope to stand as Seventeen like today. I'm a proud Carat💎 I'm sorry with my english. It's my 2nd language, n I'm still studying it~
You forgot to mention how they prolonged seventeens debut for so long that the boys themselves took it into their own hands to learn producing, song writing, and choreography. that's why they were coined "self producing idols", it was a means of survival for them.
@@moon9106 i hope not, because then they wouldn't be able to keep their name, their stage names, and most of their discography because it's under pledis' name.
@Elly Stuff its not just even 80%, i think only 5-8 songs were not credited for him like trauma which was credited for vernon as the producer and highlight as well for hoshi, he literally does all the songs, he's always the first one to be written on the credits
snap shoot right? but imo even if mingyu edit and shoot the video himself i'm still quite sure that there must've been some professional's help. bc even tho svt is self producing idols, they still have song producers, choreographers, vocal trainers that help them with their songs. you can easily find those people on youtube made by korean channels (i forgot the channel name). i don't know abt camera and stuff but i'm pretty sure they would at least give him some camera gear bc i think in some scene there's like a big gimball for the camera which i don't think just anyone would buy bc they're very expensive
If Seventeen weren't a self-producing immensely talented group, they'd be in the Pledis dungeon Seventeen practically said f*ck it, you're incapable so we'll do it ourselves
seventeen composed, produced, wrote most of their songs and choreographed them but they only get 40% of their income while pledis does the bare minimum and still get the 60% lmaooo cant wait for seventeen to resign from pledis and move to another company.
It would be great if they found another company, but it's not convenient, since they're not entitled to their songs or choreography. Pledis just recorded in 2016/2017 their debut, so other groups can plagiarize and it wouldn't go into anything legal
The COPYRIGHT of SEVENTEEN is being robbed by Pledis! 1. Korean Carats found that the "SEVENTEEN" LOGO has been registered by Pledis on June 3,2017, while SEVENTEEN's debut date is May 26th, 2015. That is to say. Pledis is trying to steal SVT's copyright and trademark just like how CUBE treated towards BEAST (now is called HIGHLIGHT) It means SEVENTEEN leaves Pledis, they will lose the rights to use "SEVENTEEN" as their name. 2. Korean Carats also inquired about the Korean Choreography Association and found that the last song whose copyright is Choreography is registered under SEVENTEEN members was "VERY NICE" (issued on July 4,2016) The subsequent MINI 3, MINI 4, REGULAR 2. SPECIAL and the latest MINI 5 are not registered under the name of SEVENTEEN members, let alone the debut song of BSS JUST DO IT "It is of course the same as other songs which firstly public at Fan Meetings and Concerts, however, what's more interesting is that "NO FU.N" which issued on the same day as "VERY NICE is not registered, either. This is PLEDIS who always promised to try its best to protect SEVENTEEN How ironic! The great creation of Performance Team's painstaking efforts crumbled to dust Pledis's greed. because sum up, Pledis has registered the "SEVENTEEN" trademark, and the chereography copyright of all the dance performances of SEVENTEEN after "VERY NICE" are registered under the "SEVENTEEN trademark.What does it mean? It means that Pledis has grasped SEVENTEEN's chereography using right and can get a lot of copyright royalties from it. But it is Hoshi and other members of performance team who made the chereography, not Pledis! Pledis has forced SVT to a situation where is no way back .. Pledis is hurting our cherished boys. Can we trust such inhumane company? I can not! Please remember that SEVENTEEN makes SEVENTEE Not Pledis makes f vou really love SVT, please protect them from Pledis
Just imagine how big Pristin couldve been if Pledis actually cared or gave a shit, them giving Twice a run for their money and competing for nation's gg title.
The fact that Seventeen don't wear actual in ear monitors while performing but still have AMAZING live stages is a really good testimony as to how amazing they are.
@Musical Demigod currently, they have, but the first 2 years of their career was really tough, and yes, during that period they didn't have the earphone monitors, some didn't wear anything and some just wore earphones sadly
I was thinking the same thing. You wear in-ears to hear because the feedback/noise from speakers is so loud the music is distorted you can’t rely on it. So Seventeen must have had to know their songs and choreography by COUNTS and kept count in their head, while performing a live stage. Also, they must have amazing teamwork because if they messed up, there was no in-ear to help them find their place in the song, they would’ve had to look at their members for a sign of where they were in the song. I’m not a fan, but I’m about to be because that shit is impressive as hell and they deserve to be recognized (also I’ve seen Woozi and he is adorable and I would like to put him in my pocket).
i’ve been watching their recent stages like hit and home and only a few of them have the in ear monitors and sometimes they only have it when they are performing for a larger company.
@@sanggre2517 no- kinda, basically like what bighit and sorce music before they was bought was they helped financially. So like help with money and music videos. Bighit is helping them with money so pledis is like a branch of money off bighit
*PLEDIS: A company that finds AMAZING talent but crushes them all to the ground.* Pristin could have easily rivaled all other girl groups if only they'd been under a different company. PLEDIS should never be allowed to work with female artists again, ngl. I just hope my boys SVT can keep themselves going - not like PLEDIS do any of the work for them anyway. All PLEDIS artists deserve(d) better.
It's really sad though. You have BigHit who gave up on ggs after that entire scandal with GLAM and that to me is understandable from their point of view (they are recuperating said image with LSF and other than the Garam stuff all is well) Pledis was built on a gg's foundation and soon avoided it althroughout with their treatment of After School and Pristin. Such a big shame to me, as an avid gg enthusiast
to add onto pristin: the members were constantly asked for CF commercials, dramas, and etc. but pledis declined them all even though the girls showed interest in them. like TF PLEDIS
Your sole purpose as a business in a capitalist market place is TO MAKE MONEY. I don't have a single fucking idea why they'd turn down chances for CFs when it makes them money. Neither do I know what the fuck they're thinking at hq, the only guess I have, as shit as it is, is that they're too lazy? To be this negligent as to what I've read from the comments, the fact that After School had to buy food for Nu'est, because Pledis wouldn't, or that they didn't buy Seventeen headsets, an absolute essential for performers, even when they had the funds to do so, directly telling Seventeen to bite themselves, the post its from fans begging for a comeback, it's completely beyond me what the fuck their problem is. Literally the only reason Seventeen hasn't gone under is because they're so self-sufficient and hardworking (bless them), and because S.coups is their backbone.
Seventeen literally do EVERYTHING THEMSELVES. They write their own songs, own raps, choreograph their own dances, even logos were designed by themselves. And i even heard some varities show membered auditioned to earn it instead of being promoted by pledis. They literally do everything themselves and pledis doesnt have to do shit. But in new varities shows the members STILL end up having to share uo to three person per room in bunk beds,, (some had their own room but most dont). Having only THREE mangers mange THIRTEEN people. The job is so stressful that 7 managers quit. And staff steals FOOD from members?!?! Smh
You can see their predebut “morning “ video and see them waking up-you’ll see the size of the rooms and the amount of them in that small room,some of them didn’t even have proper bedding-I’m not sure how it is now -but it was like that for a while for them
They should have stuck with Orange Caramel because the fans honestly still want them back 5 years later so it was stupid to stop promoting them completely
jesus im just thinking of orange caramels last comeback like it was all filmed with a greenscreen and a total of two outfits. TWO!!! like thats what they got it pisses me off so much
It’s sad that Xiyeon trained at Pledis for about TEN YEARS and the company couldn’t even make her graduation day special after she’d worked so hard being a student and trainee/idol. That really upset me 😢😠
OMG!! 10 years??? Oh no! Enough of internet for today! I'm revolted with this video! Imagine the things they go through that we don't know! Oh no! It's too much! 10 years! 10 years!
i'm just waiting for svt to have enough money to build their own company headed by mr. choi seungcheol so that they could leave pledis altogether. i know they're preparing for it. coups already got his stuff packed. 😆 "the members are more important than the agency" sTAN CHOI SEUNGCHEOL EVERYBODY
Jazmine Newark the thing is that there is no guarantee if seventeen leave that they’ll be accepted into another company/stay together. which is why it’s not a great idea if they join a whole new company.
aica I’d rather have another company (thats better hopefully) buy them out along with the name, members, and songs since Pledis copyrighted basically everything. SVT wouldn’t be able to keep their stage names, group names, and wouldn’t be able to perform their songs because of this. But I don’t think that any company would buy such a expensive group. They’re part of EBS and have a large discography. Unless Pledis agrees to hand over the copyrights willingly to Seventeen, I don’t think the transfer will be cheap.
If seventeen decided to leave the company, they won't have much problem since woozi produced almost all of their songs. The only issue they'll be having is getting the name "seventeen" since it is copyrighted in the company. But man, they can name themselves Boy Band, and I'd still support them.
I suddenly remembered when minhyun caught into severe allergic when Nu'est took shoot the "overcome" video. Since one of the scene made minhyun caught into snow storm and the artificial snow made from salt. He ran to the hospital right after the scene take. Aron got caught into severe arthritis for their bad diet in the past. It made Aron constantly being sick and hospitalized. Jr suffered in very young age as a leader at 16. I want to hug JR. Baekho's falsely accused for adultery by haters. Ren's struggle to have his one of a kind androgynous fashion sense hated by many haters in the past. Almost 24/7 sIavery by the promotor in China and japan and zero promotion in Korea. Many more. am very sorry for Jr, Aron, minhyun, Baekho, and Ren. They are strong men and face it together as one. Me as a love is proud to Stan the right group. Let's walk in the flowery path, Nu'est. You always be in my heart. Sincerely, your LO/\E since 2012 the face era.
@Kunjal and just basically planning on how to escape from Pledis and fundjng their own company and suing Pledis or paying it so they can keep everything they actually have
@Kunjal I encountered a post that says this and it's most known by CARATs I think now maybe they have given copyright to what Woozi wrote though but before they didn't
Pledis doesn’t know how to handle girl groups or any of their groups. Seventeen saved the company But seventeen has been treated like shitttt. 🗿. We can’t call them pledis, they are now pledshit 😩. Throwing away all this talent, pleads needs to realize the only realize their name is known is BECAUSE of their ARTISTS.
Xi Zhizhen but they still need to pay for their promotions, stylists, make ups, clothes, mv budget, photoshoots, album distribution, mv editing, transportation and etc....
@Xi Zhizhen sometimes I wonder what is pledis doing for them aside from providing music video sets and tools ? ( I bet some tools belong to woozi as well ) I mean if they invest money they could easily build their own company . But at least pledis is letting them do their hobbies in peace and their relationship with the staff is super cute . I think seventeen have grown on their own while affecting ppl around them , pledis probably didn't butt in much
Any other Kpop entertainment company: we’re the worst in Kpop and we accept that we treat our groups badly- Pledis: Hold my Nu’est and Afterschool Club
So after all this, there're still trainees going there?! People need to "study" a label before joining it, and think about the long term management instead of just being eager to debut!
I think some people are just desperate and maybe they did try out for bigger companies but pledis was the only one that took interest in them. You know when you have that "burning desire" you feel like you can endure everything only to realize that you really can't.....
pledis really messed up. after school, nu'est and pristin had immense success and i still have no clue as to HOW pledis could mess up all three group's careers. nu'est deserved their revival so much
Just imagine how big PRISTIN would've been if Pledis continued to invest in them, they could've had more units, more comebacks and awards, and maybe with the revenue Pledis could've brought back After School. Like just think of the powerhouse that could've been Pledis with SVT, PRISTIN, NU'EST AND After School if they decided to properly distribute the funds and time between all of them.
Pristin would've been huge. Any Pledis group could be huge. They always have the best visuals and amazingly talented vocalists, rappers and dancers. The management is what's sinking them.
I really wanted to Stan PRISTIN but I never got a chance and now they’re basically gone and I know that’s my fault but listing to the music now THey cOulD HaVe donE So mUch with them
Kristyna Very true. The only thing I’m aware is that Nayoung is reporting looking for a new agency. I surely hope someone takes her in and offer proper treatment.
Nu'est story breaks my heart. I was there from day one and watching them go down down in popularity really terrible. I'm glad they had a turn around. I miss Orange Caramel so much. I hope you do MBLAQs story too.
Now that I’ve watched this video my question of “Why isn’t Seventeen being promoted in the US like other kpop groups even though they want to and have a great fan base here” has been answered
from what i watch in their youtube video, i think they're making a baby step to debuting in western country, with their world tour in US, & upcoming world tour in Europe. Let's hope their dreams come true
Of course we want this, but it's the korean market that make them popular and able to make money thought..i read that western activities and tours's money goes more to the members, but I'm not really sure. I think us, as outsiders should be able to grow their digital sales, but it's so hard. Anyways, i want they promoting in western Market, but i also want they to be Korea nation group, so they can go to a lot shows and promote there, cuz i think this their way to make more money and grow their income.
pledis wants money from japan;; svt already has a large fanbase there and pledis would rather milk japan and have multiple tours a year there than work on promoting svt in the US despite having a lot of potential
Seventeen need start a fix fanbase in asia because western fanbase is work like trend and mood they change easily but asia especially japan really loyal i think seventeen is great enough have big achievements with little US promoting except kcon and concerte only . Im not thinking much about western validation to seventeen
Woozi could literally threaten to leave the company and oop- He has produced / written for Seventeen, I.O.I and Bumzu still he isn't paid and recognized enough.
fill here agreed. Woozi is literally so talented. He has written so many great songs for a number of groups, he dances well and sings well. But he never gets enough credit for it
I don't know if people forgot about Hellovenus being under Pledis and Fantagio. Hellovenus is so promising that time, would probably be bigger than AOA if they continued being promoted, but all of the sudden pledis stop managing them but fantagio continued to support them. Hellovenus promoted along side Nu'est and Afterschool but I don't think their sales were enough to cover the company expenses. They switched companies within that time frame when all of the Pledis artists disappeared. Afterschool, Nu'est and Hellovenus even promoted Seventeen before. It was so heartbreaking
Honestly since seventeen is so famous I wouldn’t mind if they left the company sued pledis then created their own company and taking all the groups from pedis and helped those groups. I honestly wish this would come true
But if they left, unfortunately they'll lose all the copyrights for the songs and choreographies start from Aju Nice. Pledis listing "SEVENTEEN" name as theirs, and the songs registered under the "SEVENTEEN" name. If they happen to leave the company, they have to pay for the songs they worked their ass off and that'll do no good for them. Their situation is seriously shitty, but they manage to success despite all of the mess Pledshit created. Scoups attend every single meeting the staff hold that has any relate to Seventeen just to informed another members about their current situation and future. He's the one who stands up for Seventeen and stops at nothing meanwhile the members doing the job with productions etc. Sadly not every group under Pledshit could be as vocal and brave as Seventeen for voicing their needs. They self-producing everything for their survival. Carats' job right now is to watch their back and stand for them should the occasion arise, like we always did when Pledshit just about to make fatal mistakes regarding the boys.
They can actually sue the company to get their name. it has been done in the past. Shinhwa sued SM to get their name because all the members had left. If all the members leave Pledis. They have a really good chance of being able to get their name.
Bruhhh seventeen needs to come over to bighit. Not in a side label but directly under bighit. They are mad talented,plus bighit would promote tf outta them and give them more freedom and care. I would say pnation but bighit is more experienced in having groups and bh is prospering as a company greatly . Plus seventeen have a good rep so far and bighit would know how to listen to the boys in making them go even further. But if not bighit then pnation is good too. Psy was an artist himself and helped Jessi and hyuna/edawn. Now their latest comebacks definitely look more original to their respective style
Now they are in Weverse but idk if they are under BigHit now and I wish they are because BigHit really treat they artist like humans and others company jus don't do that and is so sad
I mean, they are under BigHit, but also still under Pledis. Plus, they can’t really leave. Pledis has the copyright to a lot of the Seventeen trademark. If they left, they would have to rebuild under a new name, and with new songs and choreographies, since Pledis has the rights to those too.
now it may be easier for them to move to BigHit as Pledis is technically owned by BigHit now, BigHit will just have to buy the rights for SVT though but it's going to be easier since Bang PD is the boss of Pledis CEO now (I mean if MBK can move DIA to a sublabel, it wouldn't be impossible to move Seventeen from a sublabel to the main label)
There's more to add when it comes to shady stuff Pledis have done- like not crediting Hoshi as a choreographer of SVT's dances (which, in case they pull out a Beast-to-Highlight thing on Pledis means they can't perform the dances unless Pledis allows them to do so, boys most likely would have to pay the company) or the entire DWC "plagiarism" situation. I mean, even Coups told a carat to not join Pledis at least 2 times.
Then whos the worst company now? YG? A lot of people saying YG is the worst just because of less comebacks. But look at this now, this is the def. of worst company. Abusing your artists mentally and physically is worst thing a company can do.
Apparently bighit was gonna buy pledis, but they didn't. After watching this video, I want bighit to actually try buying it again, and lead seventeen to a better future.
Kim Jonghyun ( JR or JRIE ) of Nu'Est was the very FIRST male trainee brought into Pledis Entertainment when it was literally a shit hole that couldn't properly FEED it's trainees. He debut as the youngest LEADER of a group in Kpop History, and Nu'est was a trending topic. However due to the companies foolish ideas to get foreign backings for their label by sending the boys out of Korea before they even solidified themselves as a household name the company decides to draw up contracts with foreign labels in china and japan which basically tied up their only boy group who then became a forgotten memory in Korea while Exo, SVT and all these other groups that used to LOOK UP TO NU'EST ( even Got7 ) far surpassed Nu'est . Without going to Produce 101 Nu'est would've disbanded and guess what? Even AFTER produce 101 the ceo was STILL going to disband Nu'est. L.O.V.Es worldwide had to BOYCOTT and Mass Promote Nu'est , and get their OLD SONGS to break the charts, and convince brand deals to DROP from Pledis just to ensure Nu'est was kept alive. From then on and until today Nu'est and their fans along with Dispatch has done their own promotions of Nu'est with little to no help from the backings of their entertainment company, while continuing to receive hate from Wanna One and sometimes even SVT's fanbases ( for literally the dumbest things ), and honestly Nu'est is a group with music that lyrically speaks volumes of their talent, they aren't just cute boys who can dance well. They deserve a lot more respect than they get. They are also not "old" like the new generation assumes, they are 95 liners ( except aron who is 93 ) and debut as young teens, and NONE of them are from Seoul originally, so they barely spend time with their families through all of this. being "Nu'est" is all they KNOW which is why they fought so hard and went through public shaming and embarrassment to keep their group TOGETHER. Also, Raina ( from after school ) IS AMAZING AS A VOCALIST. People need to not sleep on her. There's so much I can say about Pledis I can write a whole book as someone who came into kpop as first a L.O.V.E supporting nu'est then got into Hello Venus , and so on. Had high hopes for Pristin, Kyungha is amazing and all the Pledis Girlz promotion made it seem like this was finally going to be a turn around for Pledis. But we were all fooled.
@@sayunigeenadi2223 yup he was 16, the youngest leader of an idol group, and also he was the first male trainee of pledis. that means he had already been in the company siince before his teen years and they used to not have enough money to feed him very well too. and they were just going to throw him away :')
u should definitely look up and talk about TS entertainment and how they treated B.A.P and Secret, and how they’re treating Sonamoo, TRCNG and their other artists great research and video btw ^^
Can’t wait for TS ent to be roasted. Hate that company so much. It’s why I’m unsure to support their artists. I loved BAP and trncng I’m unsure if I want to stan because I don’t want the company to mistreat them. Also sonamoo I got interested in after seeing eujin on the unit.
I'm glad that this video is trying to be objective and acknowledging the fact that SVT are being mistreated by Pledis, even to present day. many people due to their sadness and heartbreak of their favorite groups going on hiatus or disbandment blame Pledis for "favoring" SVT. Well, I don't know if favor is the right word, when they have so little support and been abused so much, they achieved so many things, with zero promotions in the US as well, and they are supposed to be one of the top 5 boy groups in SK atm. They've been working their asses off and have been doing everything by themselves (not only hoshi and woozi, who are the ones mostly reffered to but all members. ) This yeas they haven't been able to take a breath,with a Korean cb, Japanese tour and cb, members solo activities and now their upcoming world tour. Their cb did sell amazingly with two triple crowns and their first grand slam. They had been the second kpop group ever to be on Billboard top 50 for 100 weeks yet Billboard had the audacity to put them in "others" in their recent kpop poll. It's really sad, people thinking they are the most priviledged Pledis group when even the world refuges to acknowledge them. we Carats have to hold their backs bc Pledis is a ticking bomb ready to blow off anytime. The tea is Pledis sucks at promoting Seventeen, like they sucked at promoting Nuest and they literally had to hit the rock bottom to rise up, Pristin had to make their own album songs in order to debut, I don't understand why people can't see this...
YES. THANK YOU. They do NOT care about SEVENTEEN. They will make them write and choreograph their own songs until they drop, even if it means making that last quick fucking penny. It is deplorable how they have squeezed the ever living life out of these boys who have put their heart and soul into this. This goes to every other group that has been under them. PLEDIS does not see the long run; PLEDIS only sees how much they can make tomorrow.
Sophie K gosh it was such a stressing time because close to end fandom was almost separated into two sides and we were constantly arguing with each other i was so sad but i stood at the side of svt channel no matter what because we all know pledis and their choices are sht! I am happy with the result and i am happy that fandom stayed strong even tho we argued a lot but it was all for the sake of seventeen and i know they knows! I remember seungkwan or scoups saying we know you guys support us please believe in us and don’t give up it made a big impact on the fans!
I would just like to add that woozi and baekho had literally to teach themselves (and with help of bumzu) how to produce songs because pledis wouldn't give them any... Pledis was lucky woozi produced enough bops to make them debut with bc otherwise the company would be dead by now i swear. PLEDIS TRASH
yea i do agree that if woozi weren't there producing great songs which therefore giving them great fanbase, then pledis would go bankrupt. but i think in terms of music producing itself, you can't view it just based on that. there's a lot more people involved than just woozi and hoshi bc it's a lot more complicated than we might think. i believe there's quite a large amount of professionals who help at least half of what they're doing right now. even tho pledis is trash, i believe they give quite decent investment to their groups IF they chose to :") especially nowadays with going seventeen you can know that they at least put some sort of investments to their idols. HOWEVER i do believe that it's a long way for pledis to become a better management company
Seventeen was treated like sht in their trainee days, that is a very well known fact for everybody. I think nowadays is better but it's mostly because Pledis is literally freaked out. Like, Carats (the fandom) demand something and they get it. They have stopped A LOT of things, so the company have started being more careful, because they know if they upset SVT fans, they're screwed. Sadly, Carats is apparently the only one that have that power :/ as for the Pristin members who stayed, I kinda understand of Kyulkyung, bcs she can mostly promote in China, so I feel the agency doesn't have as much power with her individual promotions.. the other girls instead... I just hope they debut with the P48 girls
Seventeen - self producing idol Pledis - just watch and see.. crapp.. I have heard somewhere.. Seungcheol said he love the members more than the company... what a right choice...
I've been a carat (svt fan) for all 5 years that they've been together for, I remember watching 17project and woozi, seungcheol and soonyoung all talked about if they had not taken matters into their own hands they would not be able to debut. They were trainees for YEARS and pledis would not allow them to debut, so they started producing and choreographing stuff themselves just so they could debut. Even when they did debut svt themselves still make stuff themselves like we would not have going seventeen or the other shows that they give us fans if the members did not fight the company so much for us to have content. They have also been put on a hiatus for almost a year now on the members' individual instagram accounts. If seventeen did not fight so hard for themselves pledis would not exist anymore, and yet they still cannot seem to manage their groups right. Seungcheol has even said before that he puts his members before the company.
WHAT?! Pristin disbanded? They were like the most popular group with IOI members. Pledis is able to keep Nu'est and Orange Caramel but not Pristin, even after they got better financially b/c of SVT?! I'm kinda surprised that Pinky stayed considering she can work in China.
Don't worry, at least the lettuce has a purpose and can actually do something useful! Besides, we all know that PLEDIS is brain dead-- 12 years and they still can't find out what a terrible company they are!
this makes me extremely sad. seventeen is my number one and only boy group. it’s tied for my ult with twice. hearing all of this makes me extremely sad and heartbroken, however i still love seventeen and i hope for better treatment for my boys. i put all the love in my heart for these 13 boys and i didn’t know anything abt pledis so i very much appreciate you for making this video. even though seventeen hasn’t been treated as badly such as other groups (cough, pristin) they have been through so much and so have the others. i wish the best for everyone at pledis and hopefully they can become a better company or im gonna lose my shit. vernon fighting! ❤️
How is it you didn't talk about how they were taking choreography credits away from Hoshi so they didn't have to pay him?! There is literally a video of Hoshi accepting an award and thanking the CEO, Carats boo this dude and he tells them not to hate him... BUT WE DO!!! LOL
Nuest honestly has a special place in my heart as the second Kpop group that I stanned and the only one that this still going well to this day. It’s heartbreaking knowing that pledis could care less about them and would throw them away when they’re not popular anymore... ALSO ANYONE REMEMBER JASON AND NUEST M???
@@painsuffer4268 Yes if you go watch their debut showcase most of them don't have anything in their ears and are just going by the stage/studio speakers. There's various performances from any of the music shows for the first couple years where some have maybe earphones in, but it's not everyone. It's been awhile since they didn't all have personal in-ears though.
@@j0shuasolo509 oh this reminds me of Jihyo of Twice, trained for 10 yrs from 8 to 18yrs old... Except for the fact that Twice is very successful and she is in good hands... Meanwhile Pledis..... Ahem
pledis also had another group. hellovenus was part of the pledis family, they were managed by pledis and fantagio trough tricell media but then tricell ended and yoonjo and ara 'stayed' with pledis while the other girls went back to fantagio. ara left pledis after that and yoonjo went to the unit.
In the daily Show they did of Seventeen's pre debute days, there are moments where the staff verbally abuse and get angry at them for things they can't control. And I don't know for certain but I think they are making Seungkwan go on a diet right now against his wishes😢 they also keep on messing up the paperwork for their two Chinese members, keeping them from performing certain concerts
@Musical Demigod As a Minghao stan, I am terribly happy about the promotions The8 had, because we know he deserved it. But in the other hand, I am upset bcs they didn't treat the china line fairly, just bcs The8 make more money for them, they did almost nothing for Jun's china promotion. And I'm watching Seungkwan's Prison Life of Fools. In ep 15/16, Seungkwan win a hotdog(?) and looks very happy about that, I can saw the determination in him. And then one of the cast say, "seungkwan-a, aren't you on a diet? You didn't eat flour for 10 days already" and Seungkwan almost choked from the food. That makes me sad, and he's losing too much weight on his last photo :(
Xi Zhizhen I feel like DK has lost a lot of mass around his face. But the whole thing with wonwoo is that he cannot gain mass. I’ve heard he mentioned that but if u noticed he’s always been really thin.
Musical Demigod - Hello, I have more and better information on Minghao’s bad, hypocritical diet choices 😊 The problem with Minghao’s dieting is that for most people it wouldn’t even be a diet: Minghao has a fast metabolism (as you know) and still usually only eats as much as or less than a person with a normal metabolism would (source: Performance Team, both on more exclusive V-app streams and in various magazine interviews). He also skips meals when he feels like the time spent eating would be better spent doing something else. That ‘something else’ is usually practicing dance or cramming for a comeback, both activities where he really needs to be eating more, not less. Because of this, he has pretty much no fat on his body bc all of his resources go to maintaining his muscles. (This is also, as far as I can tell, not Pledis’s fault. I know, it’s shocking, but Minghao’s weight seems to be a personal issue.) I think this is a habit that he got into while learning dance in China, because cutting down on total weight while maintaining high muscle mass reduces stress on the body during high-intensity movements (source: active-duty military family members). The big problem is that not eating enough makes it harder for the body to recover quickly from injury, especially when that body belongs to a growing young person. Because injuries then heal slowly from a deficit in energy and resources, they can slowly pile up until something really goes wrong. Minghao really hurt his back a couple years ago. I’m fairly sure the injury was caused by his core muscles getting tired from his bad dietary habits and the constant stress of SVT’s choreo, and then something just gave out in dance practice one day. Minghao’s ‘health guru’ phase only really started up after that injury, likely because someone finally got through to him about how dangerous longterm muscle fatigue can be. He’s getting better about it, though! Being a part of SVT has helped him grow a lot as a person. His whole ‘health guru’ deal is the only reason he managed to successfully juggle his dual schedules in China and as SVT without getting seriously injured or making himself seriously ill (even if he was skinnier than he should have been while filming CYZJ and QCYN). By doing yoga, taking supplements, practicing self-care, and and all-around doing everything he can to improve his health, he’s managed to really stabilize himself. And now, he’s made a statement saying that he’s actively trying to put on weight! For I think the first time ever!! And I’m so happy that he’s taking care of himself like this!!! Minghao is a bit of a hypocrite sometimes. He’s not perfect. I love him anyway and I want him to treat himself better so that all of his dreams can come true. He’s always told his fans to be healthy bc he knows that his own habits are bad, and now he’s starting to follow his own advice. Let’s be happy for him! 🐸
And the treatment of the members individually was pretty terrible too. Like when Uee was attacked for NO REASON they didn’t do anything and just stood by and watched as she struggled. I really hate Pledis.
Hoshi cried as he said he loves pledis so much because they gave so much support to seventeen even when they were just starting out and they had no popularity tho
They are his cash cows now. He won’t do anything as of now. If you check out their official schedule they have some schedules until the 8th.The reason they do not have any more schedules after the 9th is probably because they are planning a comeback later on these dates so they will be filled with new schedules later.
@@lemonade1788 they dont have enough of a korean following to join another company. not many companies will take on full groups. pledis is really the only chance that they have.
the reason why seventeen promotes often is they require less budget. woozi writes and produces the songs in their albums and hoshi mostly creates the choreo (and they do a pretty good job) meaning that they are actually a self-maintained group. this is one of the most important reasons why seventeen was able to survive to this day and this isn't just my idea I remember hearing this in an interview related to the issue with pledis. as for nuest, they are now more active with their song writings and producing so, adding the attention they have gained from produce 101, they have more control over what they do and what they want to do, etc. plus they probably earn more money again thanks to the hype they got and with the royalties and stuff. all these add to their power. p.s. I did not realize that what I said about svt above was already mentioned in the video as I wrote this comment in the middle of watching the video. Sorry for the repetition. -not so much- fun fact: Also, Pledis' CEO was actually Boa's old manager (and also an ex ballerino).
dean.ab nine muses was treated like crap tho and I even heard that they are abuse. No news for their comeback for so long and they suddenly disband them just like that. I actually stan one of their group which is Imfact. They are super talented, hardworking and super kind but star empire they surely cant do their job properly. cant promote, have made a lot of bad decision and a lot of fans are stalking them because their manager cant protect them properly. Star Empire is bad...
The only reason Seventeen has come so far is bcuz they basically do everything on their own. From writing and producing their music. To even choreographing it. They really work hard, Pledis doesn’t do a thing for them. My boys have come this far on their own, and they’ll keep going farther!❤️💫

#giveseventeenthelovetheyneed
Literally the only reason Seventeen is successful and not in the Pledis dungeon is because they produce their own music and make there own choreography.
@K.G pristin did write some of their songs even nuest too...but they don't compose and produce their own..and svt did everything including music and choreography. That's the only reason they survive..pledis is shit.
@K.G nope, even SVT pre-debut SVT made a choreo to for Nu'est. Its like Pledis just Lazy. Pristin made the choreo sometimes but for song, I saw that they didn't compose but writes the lyrics. For SVT, they do anything by their own.
@K.G nuest starts producing after nuest W and pristin didn't compose their music
@K.G read what I wrote again...they obviously write their lyrics but did they compose their music?? Did they choreograph their own choreo?
That's what I've been saying...of course, they help write their songs..I even stated that.
@K.G it's all in Wikipedia...you're free to read...and yes they film "holiday" mv themselves and edited by one member.

Preach sis

THIS!
Say It Louder For The People At The Back!
so true
There was an article during a Seventeen fansign where a fan told s.coups that she was planning to audition at Pledis but he told her to stay away from the company because she will regret it. This makes me wonder what kind of treatment do Pledis groups have.
maria dou
He really said that?
@@beenarajeev172 Yes, he did. Look it up.

BAP told a fan the same thing and you can clearly see how awful TS Entertainment is. It’s really worrying :/
maria dou HAHAHAH I REMEMBER THAT he legit said
‘ㅇㅈㅁ’
Which was an abbreviation for ‘dont come’
the interesting thing about svt is that scoups doesn’t seem afraid to stand up to the company. like he’s said on a broadcast that he cares way more about his members than the company and has made direct requests to the company for things to benefit the members, and he reportedly straight up told a fan at a fansign not to join pledis. i gotta wonder if part of why seventeen has gotten less bullshit compared to their other groups is not just because pledis wouldn’t survive without them but also because they know that they’ve inadvertently put their biggest group in the hands of a leader who isn’t afraid to throw his weight around when it comes to his group’s well being.
like i have to wonder if he’s aware that if they drop svt pledis is basically fucked and that’s why he can stand up to them like he has
I know this is an old comment, but I will literally not shut up about this. I strongly believe Seventeen are where they are now because they've experienced the bad handling and have witnessed it happen to Nu'est as well. I wont forget the one time managers didn't notify fans of a performance for 17project, the members made sure that didn't happen again. Like you said, Cheol makes sure to go to the company when needed and Seungkwan is great at networking and to this day personally reaches out to show producers to get them more exposure. The members don't completely rely on Pledis' management and I'm glad they don't.
They already knew how bad Pledis was, but they didn't want to give up even in the time of trainee. When I saw Wonu being interviewed when their ring was taken, he said about his trainee days 4 years in Pledis and sacrificing his school days just to took off his ring back, I cried seeing him cuz Wonu and I were born in the same year. I don't know why but I feel it.
Despite how bad Pledis was, when Svt were in their present position, today, Dokyeom and Woozi innocently said on LieV that Pledis was a bad agency in their past, Coups and Seungkwan covered it by said that now Pledis is very good to them, I think besides Coups and Seungkwan want to protect their members from bad comments cuz at that time they were Live, they also wanted their members to give their thanks to Pledis. That's why I never throw words to Pledis now.
Coups is the best leader. He seemed to want to protect the family without any fear. Like how he defended Vernon, he poured his emotions in the lyrics of the song The Other Side / Believe Me. And also how he wrote the lyrics of his solo song Fenomeno, made me really admire him.
If there're some peoples mocking to Svt cuz they do everything by themself, I would say, that's why I should stan a group like them, they're not joke when they called as Self-Produced Idol. When u see n know how's Seventeen, u will know how talented they are. Vocal-unit, HipHop-unit, Performance-unit, if we listen to songs from each unit, they have different musical tastes, but when they become one, Seventeen with 13 boys they are on another level.
Peoples should stop saying them flop, they're just from a poor agency, n the greatest thing are they keep think to make the group become bigger n created a history with the group. Even Dino had this dream since his trainee days. They were knew that their agency was poor but they never lost their hope to debute. And the hope to stand as Seventeen like today.

You forgot to mention how they prolonged seventeens debut for so long that the boys themselves took it into their own hands to learn producing, song writing, and choreography. that's why they were coined "self producing idols", it was a means of survival for them.

@Elly Stuff yall are right so let's burn pledis
@Elly Stuff its not just even 80%, i think only 5-8 songs were not credited for him like trauma which was credited for vernon as the producer and highlight as well for hoshi, he literally does all the songs, he's always the first one to be written on the credits
snap shoot right? but imo even if mingyu edit and shoot the video himself i'm still quite sure that there must've been some professional's help. bc even tho svt is self producing idols, they still have song producers, choreographers, vocal trainers that help them with their songs. you can easily find those people on youtube made by korean channels (i forgot the channel name). i don't know abt camera and stuff but i'm pretty sure they would at least give him some camera gear bc i think in some scene there's like a big gimball for the camera which i don't think just anyone would buy bc they're very expensive

It would be great if they found another company, but it's not convenient, since they're not entitled to their songs or choreography. Pledis just recorded in 2016/2017 their debut, so other groups can plagiarize and it wouldn't go into anything legal
@@땡땡-u6r Wait, what?!
The COPYRIGHT of SEVENTEEN is being robbed by Pledis!
1. Korean Carats found that the "SEVENTEEN" LOGO has been registered by Pledis on June 3,2017, while SEVENTEEN's debut date is May 26th, 2015. That is to say. Pledis is trying to steal SVT's copyright and trademark just like how CUBE treated towards BEAST (now is called HIGHLIGHT) It means SEVENTEEN leaves Pledis, they will lose the rights to use "SEVENTEEN" as their name.
2. Korean Carats also inquired about the Korean Choreography Association and found that the last song whose copyright is Choreography is registered under SEVENTEEN members was "VERY NICE" (issued on July 4,2016) The subsequent MINI 3, MINI 4, REGULAR 2. SPECIAL and the latest MINI 5 are not registered under the name of SEVENTEEN members, let alone the debut song of BSS JUST DO IT "It is of course the same as other songs which firstly public at Fan Meetings and Concerts, however, what's more interesting is that "NO FU.N" which issued on the same day as "VERY NICE is not registered, either. This is PLEDIS who always promised to try its best to protect SEVENTEEN How ironic! The great creation of Performance Team's painstaking efforts crumbled to dust Pledis's greed. because sum up, Pledis has registered the "SEVENTEEN" trademark, and the chereography copyright of all the dance performances of SEVENTEEN after "VERY NICE" are registered under the "SEVENTEEN trademark.What does it mean? It means that Pledis has grasped SEVENTEEN's chereography using right and can get a lot of copyright royalties from it. But it is Hoshi and other members of performance team who made the chereography, not Pledis! Pledis has forced SVT to a situation where is no way back .. Pledis is hurting our cherished boys. Can we trust such inhumane company? I can not! Please remember that SEVENTEEN makes SEVENTEE Not Pledis makes f vou really love SVT, please protect them from Pledis

The fact that Seventeen don't wear actual in ear monitors while performing but still have AMAZING live stages is a really good testimony as to how amazing they are.
@Musical Demigod currently, they have, but the first 2 years of their career was really tough, and yes, during that period they didn't have the earphone monitors, some didn't wear anything and some just wore earphones sadly
Q : How good are SEVENTEEN?
A : Company didn't give them ear-monitor but they slay LIVE STAGE as if like they eat their own CD
@@46Nekomaru *louder sis*
I was thinking the same thing. You wear in-ears to hear because the feedback/noise from speakers is so loud the music is distorted you can’t rely on it. So Seventeen must have had to know their songs and choreography by COUNTS and kept count in their head, while performing a live stage. Also, they must have amazing teamwork because if they messed up, there was no in-ear to help them find their place in the song, they would’ve had to look at their members for a sign of where they were in the song.
I’m not a fan, but I’m about to be because that shit is impressive as hell and they deserve to be recognized (also I’ve seen Woozi and he is adorable and I would like to put him in my pocket).
i’ve been watching their recent stages like hit and home and only a few of them have the in ear monitors and sometimes they only have it when they are performing for a larger company.

the thing is that there is no guarantee if seventeen leave that they’ll be accepted into another company/stay together. which is why it’s not a great idea if they join a whole new company.
aica I’d rather have another company (thats better hopefully) buy them out along with the name, members, and songs since Pledis copyrighted basically everything. SVT wouldn’t be able to keep their stage names, group names, and wouldn’t be able to perform their songs because of this. But I don’t think that any company would buy such a expensive group. They’re part of EBS and have a large discography. Unless Pledis agrees to hand over the copyrights willingly to Seventeen, I don’t think the transfer will be cheap.
Fuck . Can they just make their own company
@Jazmine Newark I think bighit had bought pledis. No one talks about how svt has weverse while only bighit artists have that.

If seventeen decided to leave the company, they won't have much problem since woozi produced almost all of their songs. The only issue they'll be having is getting the name "seventeen" since it is copyrighted in the company. But man, they can name themselves Boy Band, and I'd still support them.

@Kunjal and just basically planning on how to escape from Pledis and fundjng their own company and suing Pledis or paying it so they can keep everything they actually have
But they won't actually have that enough money though as Pledis never really copyrighted what Woozi wrote mostly
@Kunjal I encountered a post that says this and it's most known by CARATs I think now maybe they have given copyright to what Woozi wrote though but before they didn't
Can someone explain whats this military thing is for idol? (I don't get that)
i vote lee jihoon (woozi) or seungcheol for pledis ceo
anyone else agrees?
Nah I vote S.coups
I will be vote for Hwang Minhyun (produce101 s2 ceo)
martzy sorry, have to vote baekho
Meere
cheol better k*ll p ledis' ceo and take over
Pledis doesn’t know how to handle girl groups or any of their groups. Seventeen saved the company But seventeen has been treated like shitttt. 🗿. We can’t call them pledis, they are now pledshit 😩. Throwing away all this talent, pleads needs to realize the only realize their name is known is BECAUSE of their ARTISTS.
Xi Zhizhen but they still need to pay for their promotions, stylists, make ups, clothes, mv budget, photoshoots, album distribution, mv editing, transportation and etc....
Well said mate, well said😏
Actually, someone called it "pelvis" and i laughed waaaay too hard
@@roy2961 PELVIS 😂😂
@Xi Zhizhen sometimes I wonder what is pledis doing for them aside from providing music video sets and tools ? ( I bet some tools belong to woozi as well ) I mean if they invest money they could easily build their own company . But at least pledis is letting them do their hobbies in peace and their relationship with the staff is super cute . I think seventeen have grown on their own while affecting ppl around them , pledis probably didn't butt in much
What happens when Seventeen needs to serve in the military? Pledis is screwed.
true. we only have a few years until members go in.
ehh no? Do you even now how much profit nuést makes ? Their success is unbelievable. Do you think that only svt exist lmao
Bri Ahgase nooo. nuest exists but pledis sucks. they can’t manage nuest well.
DIANE ROSS Mata they still under pledis. besides, pledis manages them well rn
Nah they'll prob make a seventeen sub unit with All they members left
Any other Kpop entertainment company: we’re the worst in Kpop and we accept that we treat our groups badly-
Pledis: Hold my Nu’est and Afterschool Club
So after all this, there're still trainees going there?! People need to "study" a label before joining it, and think about the long term management instead of just being eager to debut!
Because pledis' idols are amazing and they inspire them. Complete oposite of the company.
Jeanne WAMBO ikr
I think some people are just desperate and maybe they did try out for bigger companies but pledis was the only one that took interest in them. You know when you have that "burning desire" you feel like you can endure everything only to realize that you really can't.....
pledis really messed up. after school, nu'est and pristin had immense success and i still have no clue as to HOW pledis could mess up all three group's careers. nu'est deserved their revival so much
Just imagine how big PRISTIN would've been if Pledis continued to invest in them, they could've had more units, more comebacks and awards, and maybe with the revenue Pledis could've brought back After School. Like just think of the powerhouse that could've been Pledis with SVT, PRISTIN, NU'EST AND After School if they decided to properly distribute the funds and time between all of them.
Pristin would've been huge. Any Pledis group could be huge. They always have the best visuals and amazingly talented vocalists, rappers and dancers. The management is what's sinking them.
Pledis could've brought back orange caramel too
I really wanted to Stan PRISTIN but I never got a chance and now they’re basically gone and I know that’s my fault but listing to the music now THey cOulD HaVe donE So mUch with them
Kristyna Very true.
The only thing I’m aware is that Nayoung is reporting looking for a new agency. I surely hope someone takes her in and offer proper treatment.
Pristin vs Twice for the title of nation's gg, doesn't that sound nice if Pledis actually gave a shit and plus pristin was in their prime too.
Scoups once said that the members are the most important things for him rather than the company. Quite obvious that he don't really into Pledis.
Nu'est story breaks my heart. I was there from day one and watching them go down down in popularity really terrible. I'm glad they had a turn around.
I miss Orange Caramel so much.
I hope you do MBLAQs story too.
If mblaq from pledis too
Now that I’ve watched this video my question of “Why isn’t Seventeen being promoted in the US like other kpop groups even though they want to and have a great fan base here” has been answered
from what i watch in their youtube video, i think they're making a baby step to debuting in western country, with their world tour in US, & upcoming world tour in Europe. Let's hope their dreams come true
Of course we want this, but it's the korean market that make them popular and able to make money thought..i read that western activities and tours's money goes more to the members, but I'm not really sure. I think us, as outsiders should be able to grow their digital sales, but it's so hard. Anyways, i want they promoting in western Market, but i also want they to be Korea nation group, so they can go to a lot shows and promote there, cuz i think this their way to make more money and grow their income.
pledis wants money from japan;; svt already has a large fanbase there and pledis would rather milk japan and have multiple tours a year there than work on promoting svt in the US despite having a lot of potential
Seventeen need start a fix fanbase in asia because western fanbase is work like trend and mood they change easily but asia especially japan really loyal i think seventeen is great enough have big achievements with little US promoting except kcon and concerte only . Im not thinking much about western validation to seventeen
the fact that siyeon and nayoung, two of the pristin members with the most years training on pledis, left the company, says a lot about pledis
just make woozi ceo of pledis entertainment already sksksk
Or Seungcheol)
Woozi could literally threaten to leave the company and oop-
He has produced / written for Seventeen, I.O.I and Bumzu still he isn't paid and recognized enough.
fill here agreed. Woozi is literally so talented. He has written so many great songs for a number of groups, he dances well and sings well. But he never gets enough credit for it
HELL YEA
y0hann he should be a producer instead
"lets get back to 2007 where PLEDIS was found and that the Earth was cursed" 😂😂😂I CAN'T!!😂😂
Literally the earth is cursed because of pledis ent. and unfortunately there are a lot of bad companies
I don't know if people forgot about Hellovenus being under Pledis and Fantagio. Hellovenus is so promising that time, would probably be bigger than AOA if they continued being promoted, but all of the sudden pledis stop managing them but fantagio continued to support them. Hellovenus promoted along side Nu'est and Afterschool but I don't think their sales were enough to cover the company expenses. They switched companies within that time frame when all of the Pledis artists disappeared. Afterschool, Nu'est and Hellovenus even promoted Seventeen before. It was so heartbreaking
Honestly since seventeen is so famous I wouldn’t mind if they left the company sued pledis then created their own company and taking all the groups from pedis and helped those groups. I honestly wish this would come true
But if they left, unfortunately they'll lose all the copyrights for the songs and choreographies start from Aju Nice. Pledis listing "SEVENTEEN" name as theirs, and the songs registered under the "SEVENTEEN" name. If they happen to leave the company, they have to pay for the songs they worked their ass off and that'll do no good for them. Their situation is seriously shitty, but they manage to success despite all of the mess Pledshit created. Scoups attend every single meeting the staff hold that has any relate to Seventeen just to informed another members about their current situation and future. He's the one who stands up for Seventeen and stops at nothing meanwhile the members doing the job with productions etc. Sadly not every group under Pledshit could be as vocal and brave as Seventeen for voicing their needs. They self-producing everything for their survival. Carats' job right now is to watch their back and stand for them should the occasion arise, like we always did when Pledshit just about to make fatal mistakes regarding the boys.
@Xi Zhizhen wait for Scoups being CEO
They can actually sue the company to get their name. it has been done in the past. Shinhwa sued SM to get their name because all the members had left. If all the members leave Pledis. They have a really good chance of being able to get their name.

PLEDIS better be cancelled. Save Seventeen and Nu'est tho (also the next gg omg 😥)
This breaks my heart...
Vernon is my bias and learning that pledis isn't providing the things they need makes me so angry!!!!
Bruhhh seventeen needs to come over to bighit. Not in a side label but directly under bighit. They are mad talented,plus bighit would promote tf outta them and give them more freedom and care. I would say pnation but bighit is more experienced in having groups and bh is prospering as a company greatly . Plus seventeen have a good rep so far and bighit would know how to listen to the boys in making them go even further. But if not bighit then pnation is good too. Psy was an artist himself and helped Jessi and hyuna/edawn. Now their latest comebacks definitely look more original to their respective style
Now they are in Weverse but idk if they are under BigHit now and I wish they are because BigHit really treat they artist like humans and others company jus don't do that and is so sad
you know what. I'm actually TOTALLY AGREE.
I mean, they are under BigHit, but also still under Pledis. Plus, they can’t really leave. Pledis has the copyright to a lot of the Seventeen trademark. If they left, they would have to rebuild under a new name, and with new songs and choreographies, since Pledis has the rights to those too.
now it may be easier for them to move to BigHit as Pledis is technically owned by BigHit now, BigHit will just have to buy the rights for SVT though but it's going to be easier since Bang PD is the boss of Pledis CEO now (I mean if MBK can move DIA to a sublabel, it wouldn't be impossible to move Seventeen from a sublabel to the main label)
They would've done that long ago. They can't switch companies bc of contracts.
Seventeen is my ult. group. i love them to pieces. but i can’t help but be TERRIFIED with what pledis might do to them😭😔😰
Xi Zhizhen
Xi Zhizhen #seventeenneedrest sksksk
Xi Zhizhen me too😔😔
They’re one of my ult groups and I just want them to get tf out of that toxic company 😭😭
There's more to add when it comes to shady stuff Pledis have done- like not crediting Hoshi as a choreographer of SVT's dances (which, in case they pull out a Beast-to-Highlight thing on Pledis means they can't perform the dances unless Pledis allows them to do so, boys most likely would have to pay the company) or the entire DWC "plagiarism" situation. I mean, even Coups told a carat to not join Pledis at least 2 times.
林娜 They just want to avoid lawsuit cost for defending DWC which sucks
@Xi Zhizhen EXACTLY
Pledis: I'm the worst entertainment company-
YG: *I'm about to ruin this man's career*
SM: let me join you YG
TS Entertainment: You're both joke
Annie Bee Media Line: You guys are all jokes
MBK entertainment: u guys are cute
Cube: let me introduce myself
JYP: Look Who's Talking?!
Then whos the worst company now? YG?
A lot of people saying YG is the worst just because of less comebacks. But look at this now, this is the def. of worst company. Abusing your artists mentally and physically is worst thing a company can do.
@Lili yeah they both suck at different ends of the spectrum
Apparently bighit was gonna buy pledis, but they didn't. After watching this video, I want bighit to actually try buying it again, and lead seventeen to a better future.
J Nig ikr coz even if svt switched companies to bighit,im sure that bh wouldnt rlly interfere with svt being self producing idols,
bruh lets make a petition
Didn't they buy it? The left and right teaser is on big hits channel
@@jessicaskelton5717 yes they did buy it now. I commented that comment before they bought it, which was a long time ago.
@@jnig4211 I feel so lost rn. Bh bought Pledis? When did that happen?
pristin could have made it SO big, they were so popular and they just threw them away
Kim Jonghyun ( JR or JRIE ) of Nu'Est was the very FIRST male trainee brought into Pledis Entertainment when it was literally a shit hole that couldn't properly FEED it's trainees.
He debut as the youngest LEADER of a group in Kpop History, and Nu'est was a trending topic.
However due to the companies foolish ideas to get foreign backings for their label by sending the boys out of Korea before they even solidified themselves as a household name the company decides to draw up contracts with foreign labels in china and japan which basically tied up their only boy group who then became a forgotten memory in Korea while Exo, SVT and all these other groups that used to LOOK UP TO NU'EST ( even Got7 ) far surpassed Nu'est .
Without going to Produce 101 Nu'est would've disbanded and guess what? Even AFTER produce 101 the ceo was STILL going to disband Nu'est. L.O.V.Es worldwide had to BOYCOTT and Mass Promote Nu'est , and get their OLD SONGS to break the charts, and convince brand deals to DROP from Pledis just to ensure Nu'est was kept alive. From then on and until today Nu'est and their fans along with Dispatch has done their own promotions of Nu'est with little to no help from the backings of their entertainment company, while continuing to receive hate from Wanna One and sometimes even SVT's fanbases ( for literally the dumbest things ), and honestly Nu'est is a group with music that lyrically speaks volumes of their talent, they aren't just cute boys who can dance well. They deserve a lot more respect than they get.
They are also not "old" like the new generation assumes, they are 95 liners ( except aron who is 93 ) and debut as young teens, and NONE of them are from Seoul originally, so they barely spend time with their families through all of this. being "Nu'est" is all they KNOW which is why they fought so hard and went through public shaming and embarrassment to keep their group TOGETHER.
Also, Raina ( from after school ) IS AMAZING AS A VOCALIST. People need to not sleep on her. There's so much I can say about Pledis I can write a whole book as someone who came into kpop as first a L.O.V.E supporting nu'est then got into Hello Venus , and so on.
Had high hopes for Pristin, Kyungha is amazing and all the Pledis Girlz promotion made it seem like this was finally going to be a turn around for Pledis.
But we were all fooled.
Honestly though, wasn't JR 16 when they debuted?
@@sayunigeenadi2223 yup he was 16, the youngest leader of an idol group, and also he was the first male trainee of pledis. that means he had already been in the company siince before his teen years
and they used to not have enough money to feed him very well too.
and they were just going to throw him away :')
@@LonnieVerdon oh my god pledis did that
Finally I found a comment about nuest situation.
@@erinjeon9130 i know right?
u should definitely look up and talk about TS entertainment and how they treated B.A.P and Secret, and how they’re treating Sonamoo, TRCNG and their other artists
great research and video btw ^^
When QUEEN Hyoseong sued their ass and they DARED to sue her back....
Can’t wait for TS ent to be roasted. Hate that company so much. It’s why I’m unsure to support their artists. I loved BAP and trncng I’m unsure if I want to stan because I don’t want the company to mistreat them. Also sonamoo I got interested in after seeing eujin on the unit.
I really like sonamoo (they're so beautiful 🖤)
Now that BigHit adopted Pledis, Seventeen and Nu'Est can be properly taken care of
I hope so.
They don't care my Nu'est boys 🥺
well that's sad bc they dont give a fuck about nuest at all 😂😭
Side note, KaEun recently left Pledis and released a song, “Remember You”. 💝
I'm glad that this video is trying to be objective and acknowledging the fact that SVT are being mistreated by Pledis, even to present day. many people due to their sadness and heartbreak of their favorite groups going on hiatus or disbandment blame Pledis for "favoring" SVT. Well, I don't know if favor is the right word, when they have so little support and been abused so much, they achieved so many things, with zero promotions in the US as well, and they are supposed to be one of the top 5 boy groups in SK atm. They've been working their asses off and have been doing everything by themselves (not only hoshi and woozi, who are the ones mostly reffered to but all members. ) This yeas they haven't been able to take a breath,with a Korean cb, Japanese tour and cb, members solo activities and now their upcoming world tour. Their cb did sell amazingly with two triple crowns and their first grand slam. They had been the second kpop group ever to be on Billboard top 50 for 100 weeks yet Billboard had the audacity to put them in "others" in their recent kpop poll. It's really sad, people thinking they are the most priviledged Pledis group when even the world refuges to acknowledge them. we Carats have to hold their backs bc Pledis is a ticking bomb ready to blow off anytime. The tea is Pledis sucks at promoting Seventeen, like they sucked at promoting Nuest and they literally had to hit the rock bottom to rise up, Pristin had to make their own album songs in order to debut, I don't understand why people can't see this...
facts
@Sophie K yea...
we did so good! Although i was part of the people who still wanted to stream even if it wasn't on SVT's channel :)
YES. THANK YOU. They do NOT care about SEVENTEEN. They will make them write and choreograph their own songs until they drop, even if it means making that last quick fucking penny. It is deplorable how they have squeezed the ever living life out of these boys who have put their heart and soul into this. This goes to every other group that has been under them. PLEDIS does not see the long run; PLEDIS only sees how much they can make tomorrow.
Sophie K gosh it was such a stressing time because close to end fandom was almost separated into two sides and we were constantly arguing with each other i was so sad but i stood at the side of svt channel no matter what because we all know pledis and their choices are sht! I am happy with the result and i am happy that fandom stayed strong even tho we argued a lot but it was all for the sake of seventeen and i know they knows! I remember seungkwan or scoups saying we know you guys support us please believe in us and don’t give up it made a big impact on the fans!
Oh, don't forget about the copyright issues, babe. They robbed everything off.
I would just like to add that woozi and baekho had literally to teach themselves (and with help of bumzu) how to produce songs because pledis wouldn't give them any... Pledis was lucky woozi produced enough bops to make them debut with bc otherwise the company would be dead by now i swear. PLEDIS TRASH
yea i do agree that if woozi weren't there producing great songs which therefore giving them great fanbase, then pledis would go bankrupt. but i think in terms of music producing itself, you can't view it just based on that. there's a lot more people involved than just woozi and hoshi bc it's a lot more complicated than we might think. i believe there's quite a large amount of professionals who help at least half of what they're doing right now. even tho pledis is trash, i believe they give quite decent investment to their groups IF they chose to :") especially nowadays with going seventeen you can know that they at least put some sort of investments to their idols. HOWEVER i do believe that it's a long way for pledis to become a better management company
Seventeen was treated like sht in their trainee days, that is a very well known fact for everybody. I think nowadays is better but it's mostly because Pledis is literally freaked out. Like, Carats (the fandom) demand something and they get it. They have stopped A LOT of things, so the company have started being more careful, because they know if they upset SVT fans, they're screwed. Sadly, Carats is apparently the only one that have that power :/
as for the Pristin members who stayed, I kinda understand of Kyulkyung, bcs she can mostly promote in China, so I feel the agency doesn't have as much power with her individual promotions.. the other girls instead... I just hope they debut with the P48 girls
Seventeen - self producing idol
Pledis - just watch and see.. crapp..
I have heard somewhere.. Seungcheol said he love the members more than the company... what a right choice...
it was that vlive
Adding to the in-ear stuff: loves bought Nuest theirs and we have still been doing that

so today i learned orange caramel was a subunit
Lol same
WAIT THEY WERE A SUBUNIT
I love Seventeen so much and just seeing how shit they're company is, it really makes me worried for them. I hope they're being treated better now
I've been a carat (svt fan) for all 5 years that they've been together for, I remember watching 17project and woozi, seungcheol and soonyoung all talked about if they had not taken matters into their own hands they would not be able to debut. They were trainees for YEARS and pledis would not allow them to debut, so they started producing and choreographing stuff themselves just so they could debut. Even when they did debut svt themselves still make stuff themselves like we would not have going seventeen or the other shows that they give us fans if the members did not fight the company so much for us to have content. They have also been put on a hiatus for almost a year now on the members' individual instagram accounts. If seventeen did not fight so hard for themselves pledis would not exist anymore, and yet they still cannot seem to manage their groups right. Seungcheol has even said before that he puts his members before the company.
WHAT?! Pristin disbanded? They were like the most popular group with IOI members. Pledis is able to keep Nu'est and Orange Caramel but not Pristin, even after they got better financially b/c of SVT?! I'm kinda surprised that Pinky stayed considering she can work in China.
That’s pretty much why she stayed I think cause she’s doing sooooooo well in China right now
i think she stayed because for her promotions in china she needs a company
We all know Orange Caramel is disbanded, Pledis just hasn't announced it yet.
Male Nightcore Nation Pledis are kind of like SM, they never seem to want to announce their groups disbanding
After the whole Kyla situation, it was unfortunately bound to happen.

not @ how seventeen THEMSELVES told kfans to not!!! join pledis if they wanted to become trainees multiple times
In the daily Show they did of Seventeen's pre debute days, there are moments where the staff verbally abuse and get angry at them for things they can't control. And I don't know for certain but I think they are making Seungkwan go on a diet right now against his wishes😢 they also keep on messing up the paperwork for their two Chinese members, keeping them from performing certain concerts
@Musical Demigod As a Minghao stan, I am terribly happy about the promotions The8 had, because we know he deserved it. But in the other hand, I am upset bcs they didn't treat the china line fairly, just bcs The8 make more money for them, they did almost nothing for Jun's china promotion.
And I'm watching Seungkwan's Prison Life of Fools. In ep 15/16, Seungkwan win a hotdog(?) and looks very happy about that, I can saw the determination in him. And then one of the cast say, "seungkwan-a, aren't you on a diet? You didn't eat flour for 10 days already" and Seungkwan almost choked from the food. That makes me sad, and he's losing too much weight on his last photo :(
Xi Zhizhen I feel like DK has lost a lot of mass around his face. But the whole thing with wonwoo is that he cannot gain mass. I’ve heard he mentioned that but if u noticed he’s always been really thin.
Xi Zhizhen it’s very worrying
Musical Demigod - Hello, I have more and better information on Minghao’s bad, hypocritical diet choices 😊
The problem with Minghao’s dieting is that for most people it wouldn’t even be a diet: Minghao has a fast metabolism (as you know) and still usually only eats as much as or less than a person with a normal metabolism would (source: Performance Team, both on more exclusive V-app streams and in various magazine interviews). He also skips meals when he feels like the time spent eating would be better spent doing something else. That ‘something else’ is usually practicing dance or cramming for a comeback, both activities where he really needs to be eating more, not less. Because of this, he has pretty much no fat on his body bc all of his resources go to maintaining his muscles.
(This is also, as far as I can tell, not Pledis’s fault. I know, it’s shocking, but Minghao’s weight seems to be a personal issue.)
I think this is a habit that he got into while learning dance in China, because cutting down on total weight while maintaining high muscle mass reduces stress on the body during high-intensity movements (source: active-duty military family members). The big problem is that not eating enough makes it harder for the body to recover quickly from injury, especially when that body belongs to a growing young person. Because injuries then heal slowly from a deficit in energy and resources, they can slowly pile up until something really goes wrong.
Minghao really hurt his back a couple years ago. I’m fairly sure the injury was caused by his core muscles getting tired from his bad dietary habits and the constant stress of SVT’s choreo, and then something just gave out in dance practice one day. Minghao’s ‘health guru’ phase only really started up after that injury, likely because someone finally got through to him about how dangerous longterm muscle fatigue can be.
He’s getting better about it, though! Being a part of SVT has helped him grow a lot as a person. His whole ‘health guru’ deal is the only reason he managed to successfully juggle his dual schedules in China and as SVT without getting seriously injured or making himself seriously ill (even if he was skinnier than he should have been while filming CYZJ and QCYN). By doing yoga, taking supplements, practicing self-care, and and all-around doing everything he can to improve his health, he’s managed to really stabilize himself. And now, he’s made a statement saying that he’s actively trying to put on weight! For I think the first time ever!! And I’m so happy that he’s taking care of himself like this!!!
Minghao is a bit of a hypocrite sometimes. He’s not perfect. I love him anyway and I want him to treat himself better so that all of his dreams can come true. He’s always told his fans to be healthy bc he knows that his own habits are bad, and now he’s starting to follow his own advice. Let’s be happy for him! 🐸
After Seventeen’s financial is managed by HYBE Corp, and HYBE now releasing their amazing solo MVs and MV, I can breathe.
Pledis doesn’t own seventeen.
Seventeen owns pledis. Without them pledis would still be nothing
Don't worry now they are under big hit labels
@@sakshishetty6605 but they are still in pledis there is a difference between bighit labels and bighit entertainment
@@beautycreambar4330 yeah ✅ you are correct 👏
pledis backwards is sidelp
Elp
Those 3 letters can be found in the word help
Pled sounds like plead or plea
Plea for help
👏👏👏👏👏
your mind
HELP MEEEEEEE
And the treatment of the members individually was pretty terrible too. Like when Uee was attacked for NO REASON they didn’t do anything and just stood by and watched as she struggled. I really hate Pledis.
I just want Seventeen to be happy and successful
Hoshi cried as he said he loves pledis so much because they gave so much support to seventeen even when they were just starting out and they had no popularity tho
13:51... JUST REALLY?! UR GONNA SCOLD AT THEM FOR BEING HEALTHY AND SPEAKING THEIR DIALECT?! EXCUSE ME?!
As of right now Pledis is being quite shady with Nu'est schedules, I'm getting worried
yes, i am also getting worried
They are his cash cows now. He won’t do anything as of now.
If you check out their official schedule they have some schedules until the 8th.The reason they do not have any more schedules after the 9th is probably because they are planning a comeback later on these dates so they will be filled with new schedules later.
I was actually suprised when they renewed their contract with pledis. I wished they moved to another company
@@lemonade1788 they dont have enough of a korean following to join another company. not many companies will take on full groups. pledis is really the only chance that they have.
@@theodoralazy1941 cause they have a tour. and are doing kcon la.
i came for the tea..
didnt expect to get drowned with tea
Imagine having the BG with the best debut at the time and then doing... literally nothing.
I can’t believe how SVT sings live on almost every stage and never misses a beat and note without earpiece
While true, and I don't want to discount how well they did in their early years, it's been a long time since they didn't have in-ears.
Instead of going to area 51 and get an alien lets go to pledis and collect seventeen
the reason why seventeen promotes often is they require less budget. woozi writes and produces the songs in their albums and hoshi mostly creates the choreo (and they do a pretty good job) meaning that they are actually a self-maintained group. this is one of the most important reasons why seventeen was able to survive to this day and this isn't just my idea I remember hearing this in an interview related to the issue with pledis. as for nuest, they are now more active with their song writings and producing so, adding the attention they have gained from produce 101, they have more control over what they do and what they want to do, etc. plus they probably earn more money again thanks to the hype they got and with the royalties and stuff. all these add to their power.
p.s. I did not realize that what I said about svt above was already mentioned in the video as I wrote this comment in the middle of watching the video. Sorry for the repetition.
-not so much- fun fact: Also, Pledis' CEO was actually Boa's old manager (and also an ex ballerino).
Please expose TS (B.A.P, SONAMOO), Stardom (Block B, ToppDogg) and Star Empire (ZE:A) !!
xxsoomi and DSP too! DSP is sketchy as HELL.
omg yes star empire is shitty as hell
NINE MUSES has to be one of the worst treated groups ever... Fuck starempire
ZE:A wasn't treated that bad. At least 3/4 members are popular as actors. Don't get me wrong. The company is still a bad company though.
dean.ab nine muses was treated like crap tho and I even heard that they are abuse. No news for their comeback for so long and they suddenly disband them just like that. I actually stan one of their group which is Imfact. They are super talented, hardworking and super kind but star empire they surely cant do their job properly. cant promote, have made a lot of bad decision and a lot of fans are stalking them because their manager cant protect them properly. Star Empire is bad...
Pledis, Cube, and YG are the worst in my book
I AGREE!
Couldn't agree more
NCT’s Fangirl rather than Cube i'd say sm but yeah i respect your opinion.
fangirl in neverland yeah sm is bad too
I don't think cube is THAT BAD compared to the others i mean at least they have been doing quite well promoting their groups lately
Seventeen was their savior and Pledis should know that this is their flipping prime to promote them more. They will soon be forgotten
The only reason Seventeen has come so far is bcuz they basically do everything on their own. From writing and producing their music. To even choreographing it. They really work hard, Pledis doesn’t do a thing for them. My boys have come this far on their own, and they’ll keep going farther!❤️💫
