Well this is a nice change!? What? No Westernized look?
Some entertainment companies have contractual clauses that bar their artistes from dating.
But Korean entertainment company, YG Entertainment, the company behind popular K-pop acts 2NE1 and Big Bang, has taken the unusual step of introducing a contractual clause to bar members of its upcoming girl group from going under the knife, reported Korean media.
“We are focusing on forming a group that emphasizes natural beauty.
“The new girl group consists of members who have not had cosmetic surgery and have agreed to a clause which bars them from undergoing cosmetic procedures, in their contract with YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk,” said a YG Entertainment spokesperson.
“The trainees for this girl group are teens aged between 15 and 19 … that’s why we introduced the ‘no cosmetic surgery’ clause in their contract.”
The spokesperson added that “cosmetic surgery has its good points” but may obscure the artiste’s “natural charms”.
YG Entertainment had previously introduced such a clause in its employment contract with Korean singing quartet Big Mama.
However, this is the first time members of a K-pop idol girl group will have such a clause in theirs.
YG Entertainment’s new girl group will have between five to seven members and are expected to debut early next year.
