Former MOMOLAND member Daisy, known for her candid TikTok videos about the entertainment industry, recently stirred controversy with a new post titled “weird kpop lies.” In the video, she shared her personal experiences and observations about some of the industry’s hidden truths, shedding light on practices that many fans may not be aware of.
Autographed Albums: Are They Always Signed by Idols?
The first point Daisy addressed was about signed albums, a topic that has recently gained attention due to allegations of companies using auto-pen machines instead of idols personally signing merchandise. While Daisy stated she had never heard of auto-pen being used, she did reveal that in some instances, staff members signed albums on behalf of idols, especially when a large volume of albums needed to be autographed.
She further hinted that this was not the only task that staff would occasionally handle for idols. However, she refrained from elaborating, adding, “There were other things staff did for idols, but I won’t mention them because that would get legal.”
The Truth Behind “Hiatuses” and “Injuries”
Daisy then addressed another controversial topic, how entertainment companies handle idol hiatuses and injuries. She expressed hope that companies were truthful about such situations most of the time, but she admitted that there were instances where the reasons provided were misleading.
Using her own experience as an example, Daisy revealed that when she was put on hiatus, the company initially intended to attribute it to health reasons. However, after she raised objections and pushed back, the official statement was altered to “personal reasons.
Live AR: The Reality of Live Performances
For her final point, Daisy discussed the use of “Live AR” on music shows. She clarified that while this wasn’t necessarily a lie, many performances that appear to be live are actually pre-recorded versions made to sound like a live performance.
She explained that these recordings are often done in the studio or just before the broadcast, with idols required to jump or perform choreography during the recording to make it sound more realistic. “It has to be done while jumping or doing the choreography during recording,” Daisy explained.
She also pointed out that idols don’t always have the freedom to decide whether they use AR or sing live. Sometimes, due to limited resources or constraints set by the music shows, they are instructed to use pre-recorded vocals instead. “The music show has the ability to tell idols how to perform,” she emphasized.
Viral Impact and Fan Reactions
As soon as the video was posted, it quickly gained traction across social media, with fans reacting to Daisy’s revelations. Many shared their thoughts and personal interpretations of her statements, while others provided examples of similar situations in the industry. The discussion spread widely, with netizens debating whether Daisy’s claims confirmed long-standing suspicions or if they were just her personal experiences.
The video has since sparked an ongoing conversation, with many K-pop fans expressing a mix of surprise, concern, and curiosity about the inner workings of the industry. As Daisy continues to share insights from her time in K-pop, her revelations are prompting deeper discussions about transparency, idol treatment, and industry ethics.
