Recently, Yoo Jae-seok's YouTube channel updated an episode, in which he invited Blackpink's member Jennie and other friends in the circle to chat. However, shockingly, Jennie revealed that she often didn't sleep for days on end during the filming of the MV.
According to the show, Jennie has just returned from the United States, and the jet lag has not yet adjusted, and she is so tired that she speaks a little unfluently when facing the camera. When talking about the problem of sleep in her daily work, Cha Tae-hyun mentioned that singing shows are usually recorded in the early morning, while Jennie explained that they don't have time to rest during the event, and even if they have the opportunity to sleep, they can only take a nap, and it is absolutely impossible to get enough sleep.
Jennie further admitted that sometimes she didn't close her eyes for four and a half days in a row, especially on important occasions such as continuous shooting of MVs, she had no time to rest. This statement caused surprise and concern among Yoo Jae-seok and others, who all said that they were shocked by Jennie's way of working.
After the show aired, the audience was shocked by Jennie's statement and shared their similar experiences on social **. Some say it's the price of the astronomical income paid as an entertainer; There are also those who believe that this bitter lifestyle can only be endured by young people; There is also speculation that the Jennies' rest is maintained by taking naps and taking nutritional drips.
However, such an extreme way of working has aroused concerns and questions among netizens. Many people believe that this practice is too cruel and can have irreversible negative effects on the body and mind. Some people question whether the effect of Jennie's show is really worth exchanging for physical health, and some people say that it is an invisible exploitation and abuse of young artists.
Through the investigation of similar incidents in the past, we found that this is not the first time that an artist has been exposed to continuous work without rest. In the past, there have been many cases of artists being physically and mentally exhausted due to their busy work. However, for these cases, most people just complain, express understanding or envy of their income, without paying too much attention and thinking.
This time, Jennie's self-exposure made people pay attention to the artist's working environment and living conditions. Many netizens began to reflect on whether artists should be given more care and protection to avoid injuries due to overwork. At the same time, some institutions and individuals concerned about the protection of artists have also begun to call for strengthening the protection of artists' labor rights and interests to prevent them from being overly exploited.
Regarding the impact of the whole incident, it is not difficult to see that the public's attention to the working environment of artists has increased, and the discussion of artists' labor rights and interests has become increasingly prominent. This will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the entertainment industry, prompting relevant institutions and companies to pay attention to the physical and mental health of artists and take effective measures to protect their rights and interests.
However, problems also arise. For artists, they seem to be caught in a dilemma: in order to pursue career success, they have to give up their rest and health; And the public has also questioned their breaks, believing that they are dispensable and just to satisfy the needs of the audience.
In the face of these questions, we can't help but ask: how can we balance the work and rest of the artist? As an audience, how should we treat them? What standards should we use to demand artists and companies?
The latest developments are not yet known, but this incident has undoubtedly sparked discussion and thinking about the protection of artists. For the future of the entertainment industry, it is worth pondering whether we can find a balance that can not only satisfy the preferences of the audience, but also ensure that the artists experience sufficient rest. Perhaps the best solution can only be found through the joint efforts of the audience, the artist and the company.
