South Korean pop stars have sparked local confusion after terminating their contracts over the outrageous demand of actually receiving their salaries.

The Agency in Seoul argued that "artistic fulfilment" and a steady diet of ice cubes should have been more than enough compensation for the singers.

Singaporean fans, who regularly endure 12-hour workdays for a pat on the back, expressed total disgust at such entitlement.

"Siao liao, work must get paid one meh?" asked one local office worker.

"I stay back until 9pm every day also no extra money, these boys only dance and look chio, why so kiasu about settlement pay?"

The Agency remains adamant that withholding earnings is a standard industry "vibe" to keep performers lean and aerodynamic.
