Article that talks about how YG's ban on plastic surgery for his new girl group has sparked a discussion on other idol groups with similar clauses in their contracts like 'no dating', 'no personal cell phones', 'no drinking or smoking', 'vacations overseas must be with permission', and etc.

The article asks whether such rules are needed since idols are usually minors when they debut or whether the companies are overstepping boundaries and abusing their power over them.

1. [+64, -2] I think companies have every right to manage their private lives... Even in a normal company, there are dire consequences for any mistake you might make. As long as companies make rules that are appropriate for the industry, it makes sense to me. Images are everything for these people.

2. [+61, -3] Can we get a 'no bullying' clause added to the list too?

3. [+52, -4] I don't care whether they date or not but they should make sure to teach them respect. So many idols have gone down the drain for saying stupid things.

4. [+51, -3] Anything in excess is bad but I agree with all of the bans. Celebrities are over once their private lives are exposed.

5. [+48, -1] Yang CEO just seems like he's taking out his shock from Park Bom's plastic surgery on his new girl group.. Cause she ruined her pretty face ㅠㅠ

6. [+36, -2] I don't care for dating as well. Just take care of yourself. Just because you made a bit of cash doesn't mean you can go around doing drugs and beating people up.

7. [+36, -2] I have no sympathy for idols that complain about these bans. You guys are the ones that sat on your knees begging for the contract. Your fame comes with the price.
