Article: Japanese court orders idol to pay the penalty for breaching 'no dating' clause in contract

Around $5,500USD

1. [+1,461, -87] Honestly, our idols keep it hush hush but I bet they're all dating. Some make it obvious on Instagram, some get caught by Dispatch... These idols are the ones telling their fans that they're dating them but then turn around and date other idols.

2. [+1,191, -98] Shouldn't this have been expected? For an idol to have a gf/bf means the fans will leave them and obviously there's going to be less income then, which is bad for the company... there are things that idols need to give up for the amount of money they're making.

3. [+118, -6] It's in the contract that she can't date, she shouldn't have signed it if she wanted to date. You can't just live life however you want in a company. Everyone in a company acts according to the rules.

4. [+108, -6] Japan is ruthless when it comes to breaching contracts. Our country is way too soft.

5. [+111, -13] Makes Koreans look so soft by comparison. It's honestly not fair for idols to be able to do whatever they want on top of all the money they're making, that's shameless. They can wait until after their contracts are over.

6. [+76, -1] I can't even tell which side is the audience and which side is the idol group with that picture... why do they have so many members...

7. [+69, -4] A contract is a contract...;;; idols are just products and companies are not charities. You work according to the contract.

8. [+71, -10] I honestly find Korea weird for idols going public with relationships... foreign idols are super careful with dating just for the fact that they're an idol, but Korean idols don't seem to care at all...

 

[Sorbet]

You know what you're getting into if you sign the contract.

[Shaun]

I can never be an idol ,damn it's hectic

[Serendipity]

So dehumanizing, being an idol.

This is so fucking stupid. They should be able to do whatever they want in their free time.

Someone is jealous 

[PussySlayedByTzuyu]

It’s sad that Idols aren’t treated like humans but products for humans’ entertainment. 

Those idols have a live, they bound to fall in love. Sometimes you can’t help it but fall in love. 

 

Go easy a bit on the idols eh?

This pretty much. From a business standpoint, they are breaching their contract + putting the company in harms way. I don't agree they should give it up but if you can't be smart about it then don't sign a contract explicitly stating you're forbidden from dating.

So basically Idols should be asexual things that dance and sing and should forever stay like that and be alone. Yes sure.

No. Lol, actually thats the opposite. It´s only a big deal for you guys!

[... . .]

On one hand they signed the contract and they knew what they're getting into. But the fact that this can legally be in a contract is horryfying! this is someone's private life, how can this be legal

Not like they really have a choice when creepy ass Dispatch be willing to even follow them to other countries and when they do deny it they get hate   

[LiquidNoir]

 

wtf... I would never be able to pick a bias

[maybe]

Is not like they didn't know this could happen, a contract exists for a reason.

That's ummm... Wah.... I seriously don't have words.... So, they shouldn't date till their 30-40s?.... What kind of dehumanisation

Let's not even start talking about all of them making LOTS of money

[Ron Swanson]

 

 

wtf... I would never be able to pick a bias

 

It isn't someone from AKB though. The article only used it because AKB has the no love ban.

 

Well the girl's scandal made her company go bankrupt and her group disband so tbf... http://onehallyu.com/topic/224066-idol-forced-to-pay-compensation-to-company-for-getting-into-a-dating-scandal-disbanding-the-group

​this sounds like a sour fan who knows their fav is dating 

[SockMonkey]

 It's harsh but it was in her contract...

 I don't think there's anything wrong with that. They know what the effect of dating has on their image/sales so it's best to avoid it. But I do think the company sounds bitter af for actually going through with it. I've never heard of an idol getting sued for dating. I thought that was there just to scare them.
