Recently, a K-Pop idol shared the details of how fan video calls work.
Ghost9’s Prince sat down and answered a fan’s question about whether staff controls how fancalls are done.
Question: Do idols do those weird fan calls in front of the staff? Are they told to act a specific way during those times by the staff if the staff is present?

“False. Most of the time, the fan calls are not actually done by the company. They’re done by a third-party service that specializes in fan calls. So the staff you interact with aren’t your company’s staff. They’re going to be staff you just met.
Their job is to monitor the calls. A lot of them are really good at languages, so they can translate global calls. And the staff would not force you to act a certain way.”

As a result, netizens were relieved to know that the calls weren’t being monitored by the company.

i work part time for one of those third party svcs and he’s true lol no one is telling the idols to do anything, no script, most of the time, the managers are not in the room. https://t.co/ZS2tX2k22W

However, others felt that although it’s a third-party, they would still have set guidelines to follow.
staff literally tried cutting calls when his name was mentioned, just bc it’s a third party doesn’t mean they aren’t given instructions🙄
not to mention ~50% of calls end up online, the company is obviously always watching
can we drop the condescending remarks, it’s getting old https://t.co/BymV52yVMm
