News: Kpop's dark side

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-11-06/k-pop-s-dark-side-assault-prostitution-suicide-and-spycams

Well the premise of this wasn't a surprise really, a dark underbelly.  There were a few shockers.  The part about targeting young runaways was particularly revolting to me.  If only there were kpop songs about that.  So yes, the contrast between what kpop lyricizes and what actually happens, will it get more stark yet?

But yeah, this article seems pretty well researched, even if it is mostly a compilation of several stories.  Mostly the people who are found guilty resign and the machine rolls on.  There are no signs of reform, really.
