I am also interested in this, as it is very hard to know who to ask here in Australia. Someone who knows the entertainment and human rights laws of both countries would be ideal. Currently talking to an entertainment/business lawyer locally.
As parents, our best interest is in our child’s wellbeing.

Any good advise on an legal representative regarding K pop contracts before you sign in Korea or elsewhere. I am looking for someone that’s familiar in the above short history.

Thanks for your time. Peter

I have a bit of a media and art law channel; so if you ever fancy popping on and talking about this, just let me know.

Picture working up to 20 hours a day, with no time to rest, and being cut off from your family and normal life.”

Anyone heard from Kirkland NQ recently?
