Entertainment Firm Warned Over 'Slavery Contracts'
Quote:
While the "slavery contracts" between management agencies and new faces in the entertainment world have often emerged as serious social issues, South Korea's corporate regulator has ordered SM Entertainment to correct its unfair practices in contracts.

SM Entertainment has allegedly abused its predominant status over Kim, then-newcomer, to set an improper term of contract and insert an unfair clause on compensation for possible damages, according to the FTC.

If "slavery contracts" are used with Koreans, then could "slavery contracts" be used with foreigners? How many foreigners have contract problems in Korea?
