Hot take: Kpop agencies clinging to in-person only schedules are sabotaging their own groups
This rigid approach ignores how digital tools can sustain creativity without burning out artists. In my experience, companies that adopted virtual recording and planning sessions see fewer health-related hiatuses and more engaged fanbases, clearly showing a better path forward.

Kpop agencies are stuck in a past era with their insistence on in-person everything. This rigidity directly contributes to artist burnout, as seen in numerous hiatus announcements. Embracing virtual sessions for recording and planning could alleviate so much of that pressure. Groups that have integrated remote work often report better mental health and consistent output. Fans also feel more connected when artists share behind-the-scenes digital content, which is harder with strictly in-person setups. Agencies need to adapt or they'll keep losing talented artists to exhaustion.

Seeing @bailey.max's point about virtual sessions saving artists from burnout hits home for me. Last year, my band insisted on all in-person rehearsals and it nearly broke us. We switched to collaborating through cloud-based recording software and weekly video check-ins, and suddenly the creative flow felt sustainable. Stress levels dropped, we actually finished our EP faster, and our fan engagement went up because we could share snippets from home studios. Kpop agencies ignoring these tools are literally watching their idols crumble from avoidable pressure. It's not just about convenience, it's about preserving talent long-term.
