Recently, Seo Ji-so, a former member of the popular South Korean group Lovelyz, was seen working as a female worker in a factory, which attracted widespread attention. Lovelyz disbanded in 2021, and after the disbandment, Seo Ji-so announced that he would transform into an actor and participated in many productions. However, fans discovered that after the girl group activities, Seo Ji-so did not stop developing her career, but tried a variety of work experiences, including selling clothes in pop-up stores and being a female game anchor. Recently, she has been seen working hard in a factory.
In the Korean entertainment industry, the income of artists is different from that of the Chinese entertainment industry. Most of the income of Korean artists is taken by the performing arts companies to which they belong, and artists can only get a smaller share. According to the contract of some entertainment companies, the company can get 95% to 50% of the sales revenue, while the artist can only get 5% to 50% of the share. The proportion of income from event travel and overseas event travel income is also low. This means that even if they were previously popular stars, artists may not have much income.
Reactions to Seo's decision to pursue a different career after the dissolution have been mixed. Some people believe that she works as a female worker out of financial necessity, while others praise her for her hard work and courage, believing that she is trying new things and taking on various challenges. Seo Ji-so himself is also optimistic and firm about his choice, saying that he will not take anything lightly, and has made up his mind about his decision.
This incident has sparked a discussion about the income distribution system in South Korea's entertainment industry. Many people have expressed concerns about the income of artists and believe that the rules of the entertainment industry should be reformed to protect the rights and interests of artists. Previously, there were also some artists who reported their living conditions during the trough of their acting careers, and these cases have attracted a lot of attention and concern. The Korean entertainment industry does have some problems in this regard, and the support and protection of artists need to be strengthened.
This is not the first time that an incident like this has occurred. In the Korean entertainment industry, there are many celebrities who choose to engage in other jobs during the trough of their careers and look for new development directions. For example, Song Ji-hyo, a former member of the Korean girl group, once showed his work experience as a fruit vendor on a TV show. These stars have chosen to gain dignity and livelihood in other areas of their lives, demonstrating their courage to try things out of the ordinary.
The impact of this incident on society is mainly reflected in the public's attention and discussion on the income distribution system of the Korean entertainment industry. Many people have begun to reflect on whether the income and welfare of artists in the entertainment industry are reasonable, and whether there should be more fair and reasonable regulations. The incident also reminded people to pay attention to some of the issues behind the entertainment industry, including the protection of the rights and interests of artists and opportunities for all-round career development.
So far, there have been no reports on Seo's latest developments. However, the incident itself has attracted widespread attention and thought, and people have begun to reassess the current situation and problems in the Korean entertainment industry. Whether it is Seo Ji-so or other artists who choose to work in different jobs, their actions provide the public with new perspectives for thinking and enlightenment for life choices.
To sum up, the incident of Seo Ji-so, a former member of the South Korean girl group Lovelyz, who was witnessed working as a female worker in a factory, has aroused widespread public concern and involved the discussion of the income distribution system in the Korean entertainment industry. Similar incidents in the past show that some artists will choose to take up other jobs during the low period of their careers. This incident has made people rethink the issues behind the entertainment industry, and raise concerns about the protection of artists' rights and career development opportunities. Regardless of whether there will be new developments in the event, it has already had a certain impact on society, triggering objective reflection and questioning of the current situation of the Korean entertainment industry. For the impact of the whole incident, we need to objectively summarize and continue to pay attention to the relevant developments.
