>>4803559>Isn't it essentially modern slavery?the girls are horribly over worked and don't have a ton of freedom, but it's not like that's any sort of secret.
it's also a super competitive industry, it takes years to go from starting training to actually being placed into a group and you can basically be dropped at any point if you're not good enough from my understanding.
if the girls hate the lifestyle they would have a thousand chances to pull out
