He described Gangnam, where K-pop idols and executives rub shoulders with South Korea’s wealthiest and most connected citizens, as “a male-dominated society” that treats women as disposable.
他將韓國江南區,這個韓國流行偶像和高管與韓國最富有、最有人脈的人密切交往的地方,形容為“壹個男性主導的社會”。在這個“社會”,女性被視為壹次性用品。
The idol system, he said, has contributed to this culture. “A lot of K-pop idols train from age 9. When they gain some success and popularity, they become like kings.”
他說,偶像制度助長了這種文化。“很多K-pop偶像都是從9歲開始訓練的。當他們獲得壹些成功和聲望時,他們就成了國王。”
如果你隨便去搜壹搜,壹定能找到很多女明星被侵犯的新聞,這裡我們不再沉重地細數。
前SM高管、娛樂集團CJ ENM公司的鄭昌桓(Jeong Changhwan)表示“年輕偶像最好的老師是看到其他偶像陷入丑聞並從行業中消失。”
“The best teacher for young idols is to see fellow idols get into a scandal and disappear from the industry.”
所以這個行業內部千瘡百孔,為什麼難以改變?
這裡,彭博社提到了娛樂產業對韓國經濟甚至整個社會的深遠影響。
Given K-pop’s titanic cultural and economic significance—the revenue of the four largest K-pop companies in 2018 was about $1.1 billion, according to music export agency DFSB Kollective—a real change in how it operates could shift attitudes in South Korea as a whole.
根據音樂出口機構DFSB kolective的數據,考慮到K-pop在文化和經濟方面的巨大意義,2018年肆大K-pop公司的收入約為11億美元,如果K-pop運營方式發生實質性變動,就可能撼動整個韓國的態度。
而更悲哀的是,很多男孩女孩現在仍然被“造星機制”吸引。
他們想要踏進娛樂圈,門檻只有壹個,不是藝術追求,而是“只要你缺錢”。
在韓國DSP公司的練習室裡,孩子們正在努力訓練:
“When I was watching TV as a young girl, I thought those idol groups looked so good, and I wanted to become like them,” said a 15-year-old trainee.
壹位15歲的學員說:“小時候看電視的時候,我覺得那些偶像團體看起來很不錯,我想變得像他們壹樣。”
Her motivations, though, were more material than artistic. “My goal is to buy my parents a house,” she said with a giggle.
不過,她的動機更多的是物質上的,而不是藝術上的。“我的目標是給父母買房子,”她笑著說。
在《衛報》上,壹位用戶寫道:“我認為(人們)為韓國娛樂業感到羞恥的壹天肯定會到來”。
“壹個(讓藝人)從青少年時期就通過唱歌、跳舞、做整形手術和節食取悅別人來賺錢的行業,就應該崩塌。”
“I think a day where [people] would be ashamed of the K-showbusiness will surely come,” one user wrote. “I think an industry that makes money by [making people] sing, dance, undergo plastic surgeries and go on a diet to please the gaze of others since they are teenagers should really go bankrupt.”
