Article: A week of suffering awaits K-Pop "A time when celebrities turn into walking corpses"

Articles talk about how the year-end is the busiest time for singers from fighting with broadcast companies to get the best slots for ceremonies, preparing for all the different music show stages, etc. Who lands what schedule shows how powerful your manager is and most idols will clear up to two weeks of schedules to make sure they can account for changes.

"It's the busiest time of the entire year. Aritsts barely get any sleep, same for the managers. Everyone's basically walking corpses for the week."

6. [+45, -1] But in return of being corpses for a week, they get to earn hundreds of thousands in their early twenties, afford import cards, expensive homes in Seoul, multiple businesses... how can you think they're "suffering" for a week when they earn all that? Do stupid fangirls not think of the suffering their own parents go through?
