The global music industry is witnessing a concerning trend where artists, especially popular idol groups like Stray Kids, are being subjected to grueling schedules and excessive workload. Recently, it has come to the spotlight that JYP Entertainment, a major player in the K-pop industry, is overworking the members of Stray Kids (SKZ), causing undue stress and affecting their health and well-being. This is a call to action for fans, concerned individuals, and industry stakeholders to intervene and urge JYP Entertainment to reassess its management policies.

Stray Kids, known for their energetic performances and dedication to their craft, have been under immense pressure to maintain their productivity, which has, regrettably, come at the expense of their health. Reports and fan observations point to signs of fatigue and burnout among the members. The lack of sufficient rest and personal time has sparked concerns among fans worldwide who fear for the long-term implications on the group’s health and creative output.

One critical figure in this problematic management is Song Ji-eun, who has been pinpointed as playing a significant role in the scheduling and management decisions that have led to this unsustainable work environment. The call for her dismissal is not just about holding one person accountable but about demanding a change in the systemic handling of artists under JYP Entertainment's care.

The health of artists should be prioritized over relentless productivity that often leads to irreversible damage. It is incumbent upon JYP Entertainment to implement measures that ensure adequate rest, a balanced schedule, and professional support systems for Stray Kids and all their artists. This includes revising current management approaches, ensuring transparency in scheduling, and prioritizing the artists' health over commercial gains.

Sign this petition if you believe that the well-being of artists should not be compromised for profit, and that immediate steps should be taken to address the overworking of Stray Kids. Let us send a message, loud and clear, that fans around the globe are watching, that artists deserve better, and that change is necessary for the sustainability of the industry.
