The manufactured band Girls' Generation, management agency SM Entertainment and Grand National Party lawmaker Cho Moon-hwan on Monday launched a campaign to clean up showbusiness in Korea, which remains mired in sleaze.

They launched the campaign at a press event in the National Assembly. Their aim is to shed light on what they say are virtual slave contracts many performers sign with their management agencies, which can involve women being practically pressed into prostitution and teenagers signing away their rights for a chance at the big time.
