There's something tragic about a bunch of insecure men controlling a group of beautiful, powerful young women in this documentary. I'm not a fan of kpop, but I watched some videos and YouTube suggested me this. It's brutal and quite uncomfortable to watch, even for a true crime fan like myself. The psychological abuse is real.

What about things in the states like beauty pageants and miss universe or cheerleaders for the nfl, or the Olympics as we saw recently? It seems like we’re all willing to allow these people to suffer as long as they can come out of it and “achieve” something. But if they crash and burn then it’s on them for being too soft I guess.

Didn't Dave Chappelle write about how young Hollywood stars are encouraged to use addicting drugs, so they become easier to manage? I think it's time we try to get over the celebrity culture together, if we want to see less of these practices.

Yes, of course, everyone will suffer some kind of abuse. But I think young women probably face circumstances that are distinct enough to single out.
