Based on the girl's appearance, Wang Yueheng had previously discerned that she was the type of person who was grateful for kindness.

In addition to IU's musical talent and perfect image, they extended an olive branch without hesitation.

Previously, female artists such as Li Yueqi, Gao Fei, and Zhu Ting were mostly recruited by Wang Yueheng for similar reasons.

However, IU (Lim Ji-eun) was the first foreign female singer actively recruited by Wang Yueheng.

"Of course... if I could join Senior Wang Yueheng's studio, I would agree a hundredfold!"

IU, who had just realized what was happening, nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice.

An excited expression appeared on her fair, slightly chubby face.

"But……"

"I've only been in the industry for a short time, and I can't even afford the termination compensation for my trainee contract..."

However, Lin Zhien then seemed to remember something, lowered her head slightly, and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, her tone somewhat dejected.

How much compensation will there be?

Wang Yueheng pressed for more information.

"Approximately... 3 billion Korean won..."

Thinking about the penalty for breach of contract in her trainee agreement, IU lowered her head even further.

If it were only a few hundred million Korean won, she believed Wang Yueheng would definitely choose to pay for her.

After all, a million yuan is just a drop in the ocean for a famous singer like Wang Yueheng.

But if it's tens of millions of Chinese yuan...

Based on her current abilities, IU, as a newcomer, doesn't think she's worth someone paying such a high price to poach her.

Moreover, the other party is a fledgling entertainment company; why would they do a deal with such a high probability of losing money?

"Are the compensation payments for trainees really this high?"

Wang Yueheng frowned slightly. He also thought that the breach of contract fee for trainees would be at most a few hundred million Korean won.

I never expected it could reach such a sky-high price of several billion Korean won!

The 3 billion Korean won penalty is equivalent to more than 15 million Chinese yuan.

Let alone IU who just debuted, even if the other party became an instant star and worked hard in the South Korean entertainment industry for more than ten years, they probably wouldn't be able to pay such a high breach of contract fee.

As expected, South Korean entertainment agencies are ruthless and predatory!

It's no wonder that so many celebrities in this country commit suicide due to depression every year.

Faced with exorbitant breach of contract penalties, these signed artists, no matter how famous they are, are nothing more than working slaves to their management companies.

Especially for female artists with outstanding looks, they have to do whatever the higher-ups tell them to do.

Otherwise, not only will they never be able to break the contract, but they won't even be able to earn the most basic living expenses, living a life worse than a beggar...

Making these female celebrities, who are used to the glamorous life under the spotlight, live a life worse than that of pigs and dogs is no different from killing them.

Therefore, these female artists mostly bow down and submit to the demands of the company's senior management.

And thus eventually become a high-class hostess geisha...

If IU really signs this lifetime contract, she will probably encounter the same situation sooner or later when facing a superior like Jung Sung-hoon.

"South Korean entertainment agencies also classify trainees into different levels based on their personal image and potential."

"If it's a trainee with average potential, the termination fee naturally won't be this high..."

"They offered such a high penalty for breach of contract precisely because they were optimistic about IU."

"Similarly, IU was able to get such great promotional resources as performing on the same stage as Psy..."

Upon learning that Wang Yueheng wanted to recruit IU to join his studio, Mo Zixue explained in a low voice.

The fact that IU earned the title of "National Goddess" even before her debut is enough to show the sharp eye of Kakao Entertainment's executives.

Like Wang Yueheng, the other party immediately recognized that this girl would definitely become a huge star in South Korea.

That's why they tricked the young IU into signing such an overbearing trainee agreement.
