a clip from youngji's show "no prepare" is going viral. youngji invited nct's star as her guest, and the information the younger revealed has caused complaints of mistreatment.

in a few weeks, nct dream will be having a comeback. to promote, the members have been going on different talk shows and posting more frequently.

youngji is known for her direct and straightforward style, something that keeps her show interesting. youngji asked the idol what her pay was like and star revealed something very concerning.

"this is actually really funny. i've never talked about this before. i get paid a lot less compared to the other members. they also get their paychecks way before me. i haven't gotten a paycheck in, like, nine months."

youngji pointed out things such as the gender pay gap, but star only furthered her point.

"i thought of that, really. i'm friends with seulgi-unnie so i asked her, she gets paid the same as my members. so then i thought, maybe it's because she's my senior. so i went to karina-unnie, she gets paid the same as seulgi-unnie! so i really don't know."

despite this, the mistreatment of star is nothing new. in 2018, she revealed staff at sm entertainment had been controlling what she ate, causing her to faint most days from lack of nutrients.

netizens are raising awareness and calling out sm for this on social media.

• i wonder how sm feels after paying the idol that brings them the most revenue the least
• star has been in the spotlight since she was nine. she did not give up her childhood for this.
• sm ent continuing being the useless assholes they are
• this poor girl can never catch a break
• imagine having to work just as hard, maybe even harder, than your colleagues just to get paid less for no real reason
• why would sm keep this in the vid tho? they definitely have to approve it before youngji's team could post it. they're just making it worse for themselves

with the recent news regarding shinee's contract renewals, netizens shared more about their opinions of sm entertainment.

• waiting for the "STAR will reportedly not renew her contract with SM Entertainment"
• taemin has been an idol longer than he has been a normal child. him leaving should be a sign to star and all the other idols under sm
• run girl run!! leave with taemin!!

netizens believe star is not receiving the support she deserves, especially after pouring her heart and soul into her career with sm.
