Netizens SHOCKED After Trainee Contracts LEAKED For “Produce 101”

Although many netizens expressed reservations when the concept of survival show Produce 101 was first announced, the Mnet show has become quite popular since its first broadcast.

And while many viewers have enjoyed the show so far, however, many were shocked after discovering the details regarding the contracts of the trainee contestants. A photo of a contestant’s contract revealed some interesting details, including that none of the girls are being paid to appear on the show, and that Mnet is taking no responsibility for the potential negative effects that may result from what is known as the channel’s infamous “malicious editing. Upon discovering the details, many netizens have criticized the channel and its show for their treatment of the show contestants.

It was also revealed that a non-disclosed part of the contract states that “In no situation can the members seek legal action against the production company”
