It is a little ironic that you say they're not required to give sexual favours and say right after that they're just like models, another industry where that is very very common.

But KPop is Korean and corporatised.
It's not like 'modelling' or 'acting'.
The bands are run by organized machines.
Hollywood/Music/Modelling are industries of individuals, sometimes coming together for productions, entire segments of the industry never work in classically professional environments.

Given how fundamentally exploitative the KPop industry is, whether or not the exploitation is also sexual is not particularly important to me personally. The industry is unhealthy for the people that participate in it and it should not exist in it's current form.
Rather, it's a really rough, possibly exploitative gig. They are just like models, but they also sing and dance.
The Music Industry and Hollywood though, they will protect themselves.
We hear more about someone being cancelled for the slightest Tweet than for example Bryan Singer's decades long rapey escapades.
Corey Feldman was literally mocked in public for suggesting that he was abused. By none other than Barbara Walters.
