In recent days, JYP Entertainment, the agency behind the K-Pop group ITZY, has been under fire, as it is receiving strong attacks on social media from the girls’ fans for making them cry in their long-awaited 27-minute documentary titled ‘Kill My Doubt‘.
ITZY’s new release shows the work behind their song ‘Bet On Me‘, but beyond that, their fans noticed how hard it was for them. The 5 members were so overwhelmed and stressed that they even shed a few tears in the studio due to the pressure they felt from the agency or label director Park Jinyoung.
At one point in the documentary Yeji and Lia were in the recording booth, while JYP was on the other side of the glass giving directions with a frustrated attitude and exasperated behavior asking the girls to repeat their sections over and over again pushing them to the limit, instead of giving advice to help them to do it better.

She kept on making a mistake while recording, then JYP came to talk to her.

For their part, their fans flooded social media with criticism pointing out that JYP exhausted the idols and even some aggressively insulted the director. Fans expected the agency issue a statement in the form of a public apology to the girls who do not deserve that treatment that ends up making them cry.
