Daisy reveals K-Pop industry's misleading practices in TikTok

Former K-Pop idol Daisy has gained significant attention after posting a TikTok video discussing what she calls "K-Pop Lies." In her video, she shared insights based on her experiences in the industry. Daisy, who was a member of the group Momoland, addressed the controversy surrounding signed albums. She mentioned that, although auto-pens have been rumored, she had not personally encountered them. However, she revealed that sometimes staff would sign albums on behalf of the artists, especially when a large number of signatures were needed. She also touched on the topic of "hiatuses" and "injuries." Daisy expressed her belief that while most companies are truthful, some may misrepresent the reasons for an idol's break. She shared her own experience, where a health-related hiatus was changed to reflect "personal reasons" after she pushed back on the narrative. Another point she made was about "Live AR," a term she used to describe pre-recorded performances that sometimes appear live on music shows. Daisy clarified that this practice is common and not necessarily deceptive, as the recordings are often done in a way that simulates a live performance. Daisy noted that idols often have limited control over whether to use Live AR or perform live, as decisions are influenced by the resources available to the music show. Her TikTok video sparked discussions among fans, who shared their reactions and personal experiences related to her comments.
