From what I know coming from America, the only time (some) contractual details have been made public, was when people sued - Michael Jackson, Jared Leto, REM also had a dispute with the label, can't remember exactly what it was.
With bands is difficult, different and especially in kpop I doubt anyone within the band wants the details to be exposed, they already have enough of fans fighting internally.
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that Bang Chan is the main producer, or has more producing credits, than the other 2. So maybe this is the reason as to why he's getting more money< unless it's just teasing. Though I can't imagine at this point why Bang Chan would be so much wealthier than the other 2, if his money comes from JYP.
3RACHA (쓰리라차) is the producer team of Stray Kids, a boy group under by JYP Entertainment. The trio consists of CB97, SPEARB and J.ONE. The team also serves as the group's hip-hop unit. On January 18, 2017, they uploaded their first mixtape, J:/2017/mixtape, on SoundCloud, consisting of seven...

What they do on stage is not difficult. Not to mention the fact, that they don't have many concerts.
Ballett dancers perform almost daily within a season and it's incomparable with the little moves those people make on stage. It's like with Beyonce's "dancing" - a lot of wodoo for nothing.
I can tell when it is noticeable that someone doesn't practice - dancing or singing and in this case Hyunjin's vocal cords can't make any singing sounds, it's the same with Jungkook and Taheyung. They start applying tension on their throat and scream, rather than letting the cords vibrate, because singing is a muscle movement. you train a certain spot on the muscle and that gives you a note. You also have to train breathing and vibration. Even when you only speak. Actors have also singing lessons because they use their vocal cords as well. I noticed that at a recent music show in Korea, as well as their latest concert, Hyunjin couldn't even be in tune with his rapping/talking part in chk chk boom and venom. He was just screaming uncontrolled.
Dancing-wise wise he was stiff and doesn't have the easiness coming from practice, compared with his 2 solos posted here. Well...the other thread.
Yes, that's correct in terms of a better and equal distribution within SKZ, tough also here, at their latest concerts, everyone sang horribly. I am not surprised - they are amateurs trying to sing some notes every now and then. It doesn't work this way. Even for pop music, if one wants to sing on stage, you still need daily practice. The advantage is, that pop singing doesn't require much of training. 1 hour daily should be enough, plus warming up before.
They are talking lessons into what to do on stage, within fan meetings, how to act, and what to say. Even the tongue thing that both Taheyung and Hyunjin were/are doing it, the same poses, etc..they are being told what to do.
A few years ago Bang even listed some sort of a Q&A on personal issues, to gather more personal insight into their fans' life, to manipulate them even more.
This is one of the critiques - they are NOT innocent and when you've trained for years into how to deceive and manipulate your fans, as the main asset of your existence within the company and on stage, one shouldn't put the "innocent" act as a defense. From how to gay around with each other, touch butts, hugs from behind, flirting, etc...to what to say on stage, to the fans, how to look into the camera.
This is all taught. By the company and rehearsed with the female "staffers".
They are not at all innocent and at some point in life, they should have realized that this fraud is not right. Yet, they keep doing it.
The story with "I love you" is nice, because no matter how much manipulation, it can still be done, without disrespecting love and the miracle of a relationship/finding someone.
They can be nice to their fans, and engage in fan calls, and fan meetings, but they shouldn't be physical, they shouldn't joke about "wife", even within a pairing with someone at the dorm, they shouldn't say "I love you, Stay/Army/etc" you are my wife/girlfriend.
I can't say much about the pairing into dorms, except...it's weird on one hand and somehow based on the story they want to sell to the public - the wife/husband between Hyunjin and Changbin, who was posting today that he's waiting for his wife....Han and Lee...
Even here...Han and Lee, both extremely gay-focused in their interaction and also kind of aggressive are more stable, than Changbin and Hyunjin, who only talk endlessly about "wife and husband".
It was one or two days ago that they released some behind-the-stage footage and it was again - husband and wife, husband and wife.
I thought that Felix is more, or at least equally famous as Hyunjin, but I don't have this feeling. Unfortunately, Hyunjin doesn't have the same appeal as he had even a few months ago, I just discovered SKZ and his dancing videos, so I consumed a lot of material at once, now I am up to date and the difference is worrisome.
Nevertheless, despite the whole "organic" distribution, a band will always have ONE person bigger than the rest.
In BTS's case I believe that Bang wanted to try a second approach with Taehyung, but then settled for Jungkook, in SKZ/s case, I don't think that Park is trying to do anything, but that's the reason why the band will disappear on its own. They don't have that one guy in the middle that you can't take your eyes from.
I noticed based on the videos of the past, that Hyunjin is holding back and that's a mistake. There should be at least one moment in every song, where you get a main-man for something. Main-Girl for girl groups.
Unless is a serious thing, like...serious music, a quartet, a trio, every band needs a main act. And not a "leader". Whatever they use this term for....also for no good reason.
Regarding the legal issue - even though I find it unfair as a law, meant for bitter men who can't abuse as much as they want women from eastern-europe, sentimental fraud, when money is involved, is punishable. It's considered to be a crime.
No fan has ever sued a singer for fake promises, but they should all dial back with the I love you's and the physical part. Just make fan signing, have a few words, and that's it. No need for anything else.
