BigBangsDaesungfaces criticism over staff salary remarks.
At one point, Lisa took a break for a hair and makeup touch-up and noticed Daesung waiting idly.
She asked,Arent you getting your touch-up done?
He then added,But I only pay them for the time theyre actually here.
If theyre elsewhere, they dont get paid.Lisa, amused by the concept, responded,Thats not bad.
You end up spending a lot of money in unexpected ways.
While the conversation was lighthearted, it quickly sparked debate online.
Some netizens criticized his remarks, arguing that withholding pay for time on standby could amount to labor exploitation.
Comments included:
Is he seriously not paying staff while keeping them on standby?
Thats a clear violation of labor laws.
Either Daesungs entire production team is routinely violating labor laws, or he himself is a victim of it.
This is wage theft disguised as a joke.
Others defended Daesung, saying:
It was obviously a joke, people are overreacting.
We dont even know the details of their contracts.
Why assume the worst?
People are nitpicking over nothing.
The termkkeokgirefers to an employer manipulating work hours to avoid paying fair wages.
