KPOP GENERAL

she specifically recruited impressionable young idols or ones with stage parents or ones that don't have the same ingrained sensibility of deferring to organizational authority.

that and she clearly told the parents that the girls were getting screwed over in their contracts and could make even more money which seems unrealistic given they already have received millions from ador/hybe but greed will get you every time.

The funny thing is even if they manage to exit ador successfully and don't have a massive penalty payment due MHJ has zero desire to have older girls in her groups so at best they'd have maybe 2 possibly 3 years before she dumps them for a younger model
