The Issue

It is time for a change in leadership at Belift Lab. The current CEO, Kim Tae-ho, has demonstrated a concerning lack of respect for the artists under his management. Reports of severe overworking, lack of proper care, and controversial decisions affecting group members have deeply обеспensed fans worldwide.

Overworking artists is not just an industry flaw—it is a serious threat to their well-being. Numerous studies have shown that excessive workloads can lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, and long-term physical health issues. Idols already live under intense pressure and public scrutiny. They deserve an environment that supports their growth, creativity, and health—not one that exhausts them mentally and physically.

The situation becomes even more alarming when decisions lack transparency. The reported removal of a member from ENHYPEN—a group that brings comfort and joy to millions—has raised serious concerns. When actions like this are taken without clear communication, they harm not only the artists but also the trust fans place in the company. Strong leadership requires accountability, fairness, and openness—qualities that appear to be lacking.

Furthermore, there are ongoing concerns about artist safety and care. Incidents involving Sunghoon have highlighted potential shortcomings in how artists are protected. Additionally, situations like Moka going on hiatus due to health issues, reportedly after severe fatigue, raise urgent questions about working conditions within the label.

Being an idol is a profession—it should never come at the cost of someone’s health or life. Artists dedicate years of hard work, sacrifice, and passion to their careers. When someone like Heeseung—who has devoted years to his group—is treated as expendable, it sends a harmful message about how little that dedication is valued.

Fans are the backbone of the entertainment industry. Their support sustains companies, uplifts artists, and builds global communities. When artists are mistreated, it reflects a broader disregard for the very people who keep the industry alive.

We must stand together to demand better.

We are calling for the resignation of Kim Tae-ho as CEO of Belift Lab and for the appointment of leadership that prioritizes artist well-being, transparency, and respect.

This is not just about one company—it is about setting a standard for the entire industry.

Join us in advocating for a healthier, safer, and more respectful environment for all artists. Sign this petition and help demand the change they deserve.
